In a perfect world, the impeachment process should be scrapped and replaced with confidence votes in the House ONLY. There is no reason it should be this difficult to fire a member of the executive branch for being bad at their job. If that means periods of replacing the president on an annual basis, so be it. Japan went through an eight year period where they changed prime ministers anually (bookended on both ends by Shinzo Abe). Maybe if the presidency was considered more of a replaceable position, the American people wouldn't constantly be at each other's throats over the office. |
Absolutely. For a position of such importance, one would think that there would be a way that would have fewer ways to fail. But in playing the devils advocate, would it be plausible if and when we have a more streamlined impeachment process, if they would more frequently and almost routinely remove president's if there is an opposing House majority?
Either way, it seems like a good thing that there aren't many super evil businessmen that also have Trump's charisma. He literally was gifted the white House bc of that and his storied life. Most of the CEOs nowadays just stay I their office and make $$$$, so being president probably wouldn't even be considered.
My point is that someone like Trump is a once in a century type of bad anomaly. We'll get a better replacement when he leaves.
