So is sending armed troops into our cites as a political stunt. So is trying to override the Constitution with Executive Orders. I'm sure the list could be expanded.

I don't think it's out of the question that Republicans could lose both the House and the Senate next year, because we've only started to feel the effects of taking a chainsaw to government services, the Big Fugly Bill, and the idiotic, unconstitutional tariffs. If that happens, impeachment and the 25th Amendment will both be on the table.
