        Kind of not “attempted” because he scared congresspeople into silence.

        Also, kind reminder that without a constitutional amendment, NOTHING can legally dissolve Congress, nor require it to assemble in DC or really anywhere specific. Maybe a court will say it must assemble only in U.S. territory.

          An attempted coup is as much a coup as a successful one if you give them more chances to actually complete the fuckin’ thing. 🤷🏼‍♂️
