I routinely demand that my Senators and Representative resign because they are a disgrace. They have stacks of letters from me demanding their resignation. I think Trump and Vance should go on TV today, this morning, and say, "I'm unworthy and incapable of doing this job; I resign for the good of the nation." Nobody's ever done it, so far, but I, private citizen, still frequently demand that they go.
