I was speaking more towards impeachment or criminal misconduct by the administration. Check out the Franken/DeVos exchange if you haven't already. It plays out like a SNL skit. But if they block one moron, they'll just keep putting up another. Eventually an incompetent will have to be confirmed and I don't expect our constitution to prevent this.
I'm talking about business conflicts of interest, breaking emolument clauses, backroom dealing, war crimes, even violations of the espionage act when the smoke clear with the Russia hacks, etc. George W and Cheney should've been convicted of war crimes, but I think this administration will make them look like they were practicing Jainism.
I'm almost willing to offer up a prop bet. I say he doesn't last 2 years before impeachment proceedings begin. If I'm wrong, we might be well on our way to a fascist dictatorship.
