2/3 congress, population, support

This article examines a study which shows that 1/2 of the United States population reports that their opinion of President Trump wouldn’t change regardless of what he did. One must wonder whether two thirds of Congress could be persuaded to Impeach President Trump in the face of such stalwart support from a quarter of the population.

Could a Political Swing Lead to Impeachment?

2018 midterms, political question, The House of Representatives

This newsweek article quotes John Podhoretz, who theorizes that if the Democrats take the House in 2018 then President Trump will be impeached. However there seems to be very little consideration for Trump’s high crimes in his analysis, which leaves one wondering whether the Political Question the Drafters intended to guide impeachment, hasn’t turned into a measure of Political Might.
