      Yes. She’d have to be impeached by the House of Representatives, then convicted in the Senate by a 2/3 majority. Basically will never happen.

        We basically have a system where, as soon as the fascists capture 1/3 of the government, we have no legal defense against them seizing the other 2/3.
