I know I'm grasping at straws, but drawing dead?
I'm not a law scholar but I don't think we have the mechanisms to roll things back and likely never will. It's not without good reason either. Being able to rollback elections would be very unstable as a foundation.
Obviously in some cases it might actually make total sense but if it were possible it's unlikely our country , for better or worse, would be where it is today, although I suspect we would be much worse off.
Honestly people probably need to stop hoping for a rollback and impeachment but keep the pressure up on those fronts. Then work towards changing congress in two years and the presidency in four. We get too caught up in hoping congress impeaches trump and then are wondering how he got re-elected. I want to emphasize I am in no way suggesting people back off on this path I'm just saying focus needs to be placed in multiple areas for a long period of time. We can't afford to just focus on one to the detriment of the others.
