    1/ Impeachment is not a big deal. It's just firing an incompetent from a job.

        2/ In parliamentary systems, no-confidence votes aren't existential crises. Just routine housekeeping.

        3/ With hindsight, it's clear why Trump's signature line was "you're fired." Pure projection. Most firing-worthy employee ever.

        impeachment in our system is same as "indictment", Senate has to judge merit.

        impeachment != firing. it's a formal indictment. Clinton 42 was impeached but remained in office.

        .@iampliny agreed, I was being technically loose... it's the key step to effectively firing a President in the US system

        nevermind impeachment, could Trump be fired for breaching HR policies of the govt? He'd get fired from other jobs for what he says...

        .@_zakzola I think so far he's only clearly flouted informal norms (like releasing taxes) not letter of the law?

        Bill Clinton was impeached by the House, wasn't fired. A President being forced out of office re: Nixon was a big deal, not from here?

        Trump about power shift from long essay writers to people who talk to their neighbours more often. Existential crisis.

        a lot of energy devoted to the thought. Probably won't happen.
