The constitution spells out impeachment. The basis is ‘treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors’. The House must vote the articles of impeachment with a simple majority. Then the Senate, with the Chief Justice presiding, must vote with a super majority.
Since both the House and Senate are controlled by Republicans it is hard to see how impeachment would be possible. So it looks like he will have to be voted out. The 25th Amendment allows for the Cabinet to make such a move, but those are all his hand-picked cronies, so that is even less likely then impeachment.
Every day is more bizarre than the last. I shudder to think how this shitshow is going to end.
