Can Trump make enough enemies in Congress to get impeached? This article suggests that with every crticism President Trump makes towards Republican legislators the higher his impeachment chances become; a recent relevant example being his siding with Democrats on the debt ceiling issue. It is true that impeachment is a political question, meaning that it is left to the discretion of the elected. As such, President Trump’s chances of impeachment very well may ride on his political usefulness.
