from arguably the most important job in the world.

They aren't going to put him in prison or take any of property.

It is a political process, it doesn't take a crime to impeach, and he is getting all the process that is due.

It is a constitutional power and therefore is not nullifying an election.

When it is all said and done, Trump isn't going anywhere because the moral cowards in the Senate won't even hold a substantive trial.

This is no different than if you absconded from your place of employment with the petty cash, the company car and your boss' wife.
