(116,018 posts)Unless he resigns voluntarily the only way to get rid of him is by a 2/3 majority of the House voting to expel him, and that won't happen.

I know. How soft and liberal of me.

I suppose it boils down to whether the GOP wants to continue their Lowest Common Denominator strategy, or believes it's finally too much even for them two sweep under the rug.

(1,766 posts)These are the only methods that will remove him from office, as per the Constitution:
1. Expulsion by 2/3 vote of Congress (good luck with that).
2. He resigns the office (he's too shameless for that).
3. Death.
That's it.
Only Congress can expel him.

Don't expect that to change.
