    Do you not have the ability to take a vote of no confidence in the US? Or are you.just stuck with it for 4 years and he can do whatever?

      They have an impeachment process which they tried a few years back twice but didn’t work. It is like black magic, a whole lot of mumbo jumbo for literally nothing.

        Impeachment doesn’t seem like it actually does anything. It’s like an official slap on the wrist.
        Maybe the laws were written back when politicians had a sense of shame and they just assumed that an impeached president would resign.

          Exactly.

          The US system has bunch of things that don’t have explicitly defined penalties, because just the act itself was so shameful that it itself was the punishment.

          But now they have a president with zero shame and zero morals - the processes don’t work.
