California’s governor is being touted as a successor to the Biden throne. Though he’s often imagined as a beacon of progress, his feckless record shows otherwise.
Impeachment as a tool has been demonstrated to be basically worthless. Trump has demonstrated pretty clearly that our whole system relied almost entirely on everyone respecting the rules. Turns out there isn’t really anything preventing full executive power. Ultimately, it comes down to the military. They are really the only force capable of removing the president.

Impeachment is worthless without a supermajority in the Senate.
I didn’t specify party. Congress could remove him, the Republican Senators refuse to do so.
I don’t think, if they voted to impeach, the FBI and capitol police would be like “nah, we are keeping him.”
I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
