Then Schumer ought to swear to the turtle cunt to pack the courts by 2021 and appoint Obama and Michael Avenatti to fill the new seats.
Have Obama and Avenatti on SCOTUS duty, and then for the hell of it let's just say Trump was out after his first term and a female takes his spot. The GOP would be like: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/226487/f0556217-6950-4389-b6ef-de30bfdae817/giphy.gif
I just realized that I don't get to vote. Election day is on a fucking Tuesday. For work, I'm out of town the entire week, every week. Fuck me.
Absentee ballot by mail
Frankly its corporate shitheads like this as to why term lengths should be 2 years instead of 6 till re election like congress. It'd be a great step towards removing the assurance to do whatever they want with what should be a duty.
Oh right, thanks. Hopefully my "excuse" is good enough to be accepted for an absentee vote.
THey're supposed to. Supposed to.
Not doing it is illegal
Not enough for me. It'd take me that long to drive from work to the polling station.
Not making up the difference between a waiter's tips and minimum wage is illegal too. It is rampant in the food service industry because the waiters don't know its illegal and so nobody reports it.
And there is no legal hours to obtain voter ID and if the poll is more than 20 minutes away from your place of work, you can give up voting even if your employer does give you time off. Voter suppression in America is fucked.
Never forget that McConnell's family almost lost everything paying for his polio treatment as a child, and has his life goal of destroying the ACA.
"Fuck you, got mine" aka the Republican Party's driving motive.
Ideally if enough high up members ended up disobeying direct legal orders/laws from a democratic congress and senate, and the police residing with Washington DC report to Trump instead of the law, what would be the proper next step in removing Donald Trump from power?
The only means to removing Donald Trump from power legally is to impeach and indict him - regardless of the source of that impeachment/indictment (a bill, an act, invocation of the 25th amendment where the President refuses to step down). The police, if they decided to protect Trump, would be effectively committing treason, and so they would be legally arrest-able. If Trump is impeched and indicted but refuses to step down then the police force of the Senate would be deployed to forcibly arrest him. You might see the Senate Police squaring off against the SS and the Capitol Police -- and at that stage of incivility even the Army/FBI might get involved. But basically all bets are off if a President is impeached from their seat but uses the White House as a Fort to prevent their own removal. At the point he is indicted, however, he is no longer legitimately the 45th President of the United States and so even if he decides to hold up in the White House for however long it takes for the food stores to run dry or for him to flee from it into exile Congress could move to have an immediate snap election for the Presidency -- or it may deign to elect the Senate Lead as the President Pro Tempore of the United States until such time that an election can be held.
