General Discussion

It was created by the Founding Fathers to be a slow pace for impeachment. That was so that the process would not be abused, such as impeaching a president for lying under oath about an episode of oral sex. Having a longer process protects against heat of passion, emotional influences. It is imperfect, as is our legal system. But I should note that in his 1973 classic, "The Imperial Presidency," author Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., made a strong case that the original intent was that impeachment be used more often.

The other option, as I know that you know, is Amendment 25. It is intended for emergencies. I think we are well beyong a mere emergency now. But I am aware that the cast of characters surrounding the felon remain intent upon protecting him. I do think that several are aware he is out of control, but are not willing to say it openly, because they want to be in the best position to replace him, be in after the 2028 election or before.
