5. Constitutional crisis?

If he actually pursues this via executive order, I can't imagine a scenario that immediate an impeachment proceeding wouldn't be necessary and probably long overdue. He ignores the House with little concern of any real consequence outside of long, protracted court battles that are news for 24 hours. He wins the day via media even on his bad days. Maybe a few months of impeachment proceeding will change the trajectory of things and expose his criminality to those who are not paying attention. After all- Impeachment is a pretty big headline. Even with our new oversite in House, it's practically ignored or when we do get testimony it's a quick news cycle and he creates another distraction.
