It hasn't looked like that will happen so far. But they are the only ones who can stop him. The Democrats and the courts cannot stop him. We would need around 20 Republican senators to break ranks and vote to convict him in an impeachment trial. And we would need only three or four Republicans to break ranks in the House.
