Might Donald Trump very well be the first President of the United States of America to be impeached more than once?
Here's my question though: with all this hullabaloo about impeaching Trump, I want to know what, if anything, can be done about the obvious malfeasance of Mitch McConnell[1]? Can he be impeached as well? Or whatever equivalent process may exist (or may not exist, and if not, can it be brought into existence)? Is there anything, within the law, that Pelosi (or anyone else) can do about this?
Trump's impeachment needs to result in Trump being removed from office. This is an objective fact. Mitch McConnell[1] is standing in the way of this. Mitch McConnell[1] intends to subvert this and make sure it does not come to pass. This is also an objective fact. Mitch McConnell[1] needs to be punished and removed from office for his refusal to punish and remove Trump from office. Mitch McConnell[1] needs to be held accountable for his blatant complicity with Trump and Trump's crimes. How one goes about removing Mitch McConnell[1] from office, however, is what I don't know. Or if there is no legitimate process to accomplish that, that's even worse...
"Vote him out" is about the only legitimate process I can think of, but that takes time (far too much, given the situation) and, as seen by the fact that Mitch McConnell[1] is even still in office at all at this point, despite all of his prior (pre-Trump, even) brazen malfeasance, it just goes to show that "vote him out" is not all that good of a solution on which to bank everything, because he very well might not be voted out in November, despite how terrible of a Senator and how horrible of a human being he is, all due to his constituents who keep right on voting for him apparently being blithering imbeciles.
[1] - And a lot of others in the Senate, of course, but McConnell is the Majority Leader for the Trumpublicans and is effectively in charge of the Senate, so let's just start with and focus on him now.
