    Trump was impeached twice in his first term and if the Democrats gain a majority this year I’m sure he’ll be impeached again. Turns if you let one party get a stranglehold on all 3 branches the whole checks and balances thing kind of falls apart.

    Maybe if Clinton had been held accountable back then it would be easier to hold the president accountable now. Precedent and all that.
