There are so many options besides halting elections outright

You could -

close Congress

ignore Congress

declare a sufficient number of Democrats "antifa" and arrest/disappear

require a special passport for traveling to DC (magically, some democrats are denied)

Whatever happens, the midterms is a ticking clok.





"Ignore Congress" isn't an option. Congress can impeach.

"How did you run that red light? It is illegal!"

Enforcement is key. Who would enforce congressional impeachment? The hope is the military. The same military that is being sent out to "democrat strongholds" already.


Would the military still obey him if he were impeached? I really doubt it.

Would the Secret Service?

Would the federal bureaucracy?

Even the Supreme Court says he has immunity for what he does while in office. If he's impeached, he's no longer in office.

So yeah, if he's impeached, it's over.


Exactly how did that impeachment turn out the first two times, and why do you expect a third impeachment to have a different effect?
