    The "impeachment overturns the will of voters" stuff remains so silly. If you live in Alabama, Missouri, or Oregon, your governor took office because the predecessor was engulfed by scandal and resigned. New governor from the same party replaced him. Nobody undid the election.

        Oregon was a standout - the scandal broke before the election, the governor was re-elected, and within three months he resigned.

        Again, impeachment "overturns" an election the way sending back a dangerously inedible meal overturns having ordered it.

        Exactly, people voted for a ticket that included Mike Pence and he becomes president if Trump is removed, it’s not like we install Hillary Clinton upon conviction

        It's kind of the same when anybody is removed from their job because of misconduct. "This overturns the will of my employment!"

        WHY ARE YOU OVERTURNING THE WILL OF THE HR MANAGER?! I shout as I'm escorted out the building after being fired for repeatedly showing up late.

        What gets me about that argument is that "the will of the voters" was Clinton. Trump won Electoral College, not the vote.

        The voters in 2018 voted for holding Trump accountable. The GOP doesn’t like to talk about that election.

        The only thing that overturns the election is the electoral college.

        Someone needs to do a magazine piece on the dumbest arguments that are routinely made in politics that we can point to in the future, since we know these all come back.
