If dems get both house and senate then they could impeach and convict.
The house impeached (opens an investigation), the senate convicts (kicks president out of office). No president has been convicted, but a few have been impeached (Clinton and Trump being the modern examples). Nixon resigned because he was told he would be convicted by the senate and decides to avoid that issue.
That’s all just hypothetical, assuming Dems aren’t complicit in the system working exactly as intended. Don’t you find it strange that there’s always a cohort of Dems that vote against the party line?
Let’s just say that all of that miraculously happens. Trump has shown that he can defy court orders with zero repercussions (as he has done dozens of time this year). What then?
Of course it’s hypothetical. But the only way a third impeachment matters is if they can convict, otherwise it’s just a show.
If democrats don’t get the house and senate their biggest play seems to be to shut things down. Outside of that there doesn’t seem to be a lot that they can (or are willing to) do to rein Trump in.
