Because Trump won we should abolish the Presidency.

Says TDS suffering idiot.

The Electoral College is not enough! Get rid of the office itself!

I'm sure if Hillary had won this skank would be calling for her to be POTUS for life.

As to the idea itself it would be fun to talk about, but outside of the outraged left there's not likely any support for it. It would mean a cascade of changes none of which are guaranteed to be better than what we have now and some that would be way worse.

And I have other bad news. The remedy in our Constitution for a treasonous turncoat who got into the White House on a technicality is impeachment. But guess what? Impeachment has never gotten rid of a bad president in this country. Not ever. Bill Clinton finished his term after being impeached. The threat of impeachment got Nixon to step down, but impeachment as a whole has failed. It’s never lived up to its promise.

Perhaps that's because no president has been convicted of treason or any other high crime?

Impeachment worked. Nixon's shenanigans were pretty bad ... and he left office. Does it matter if he resigned or was removed? He went away. Case closed.

Clinton lied under oath. Not good, but a far cry from treason. Somehow, despite whatever impeachable offense he committed (yes, I know: perjury) the nation and the office of the presidency survived. And I'm sure the office of the presidency will survive a few typos in tweets. If typos on a smart phone are treason, you might as well shoot me tomorrow.

Yes, but what about failure to provide footnotes?   :old:   :facepalm:

That there's a hanging offense.

Totally different level of offense. It has to do with intent. Look up mens rea. In deference to the usual suspects, I won't provide a link -- they can Google it themselves.

I;m not going to look that up.  It sounds a wee bit naughty.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

One good thing of abolishing the presidency would be no more horrific campaign seasons to make everyone miserable.

The Clinton cabal apparently never heard the adage “If you strike the King you must kill the King”.

Trump not only survived but appears to be stronger in the face of their attack.

The swamp actually getting drained is probably too much to hope for. If we are lucky we might be left with swamp creatures content to ignore us while they raid the public till.

Getting rid of the moral busy bodies with plans to fundamentally transform the nation by undermining traditional America through unfettered illegal immigration and the replacement of our uniquely American culture is a start.
