And resign as President. Before his tenure as a disgraced President is over.
That is all.

(62,270 posts)And he has too much baggage. More will come out. And it will be devastating to him as a politician. Something will stick. Eventually. Even he cannot get away with his utter garbage existence as a human being for 4 years. It's impossible. Something will stick.

It's been a question that has bothered me all day.
And I agree - and last night I had a good laugh at the expense of Rense Preibus. He has been around the block enough, I would bet that even he - now - has had to come to the same conclusion as you.

(62,270 posts)His inauguration will have a few thousand deplorables in attendance. Former politicians will be there. But everyone in attendance will know that this man's tenure is going to be short lived.

(48,955 posts)Folks around are too afraid of losing power and the momentum they perceived (and already started over stepping) that came with the trump win. I think they also fear the trumpsters. It's going to have to get really bad such that a sliver of the trumpsters even start 'seeing' how bad it is before anyone is going to act.

We're stuck with him I am afraid.

(50,557 posts)If the intent is to put Pence in the Oval Office, the Constitution says that a replacement president can be elected to 2 terms if more than half his predecessor's term is gone when he takes office, but only one term otherwise. (IOW you can only be president 10 years.) It would be very possible to let Trump do the ceremonial work but leave the sensitive work for Pence and Mattis.

Trump does what he wants and gets away with it.
