Resume enhancement

The guillotine was never intended as a slap on the wrist. Nor was impeachment supposed to be a resume-enhancement, as it has come to be in the four impeachment attempts that have been carried out in the history of the republic. It was supposed to be an existential threat to the president, with the real chance of removal. It’s about time that we had a real, honest-to-goodness impeachment, where the chief executive is removed from office. Not an opera buffa where the participants mime in front of Fox News, CNN and MS NOW without much of anything happening. Some constitutional amendments and an impeachment or two are also needed to return the republic to normalcy. I’m not saying that the president impeached should be Trump—although he’s certainly a worthy candidate. But it could just as well be J.D. Vance, AOC, President Brylcreem or Kamala.
