    I mean impeaching cabinet members is kind of pointless innit? Trump can easilly find a replacement that is functionally identical. You have to cut the head off VP+President at the very least. But really just skip all that bullshit and start advocating for a Constitutional Convention, the US government is broken and a CC is the only non-violent option.

      No. Following procedure maintains a sense of lawful government. While the act will fail, we will have a record if we ever get back to freedom.

      Why would you want a constitutional convention? Ratification of a constitutional amendment requires acceptance by 75% of state legislatures. 60% of state legislatures are controlled by Republicans, which as I’m sure you know is the party causing the vast majority of the problems you are referring to. Nothing good would come from that unless you are the type who wants to enshrine anti-DEI bullshit in the constitution.

      Any new appointments would have to go through congressional approval. Of course they could potentially get rubber stamped by the Republican controlled Senate, but they are losing support of some of the Republicans in the Senate so it’s not a guarantee right now. I believe Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have both stated publicly that they will block any appointments to the Federal Reserve so I can see them or others potentially doing the same for other appointments. This being an election year probably has a lot of them considering how they can save face for what they’ve let occur over the last year. I’m still making a lot of assumptions so who knows what would happen.
