It is January of 2020. The house has just voted to impeach Trump by 222 to 210 votes. Meanwhile Senator Mitch McConnell has said the senate cannot do an impeachment trial during the year of an election. After the vote President Trump called the house members lawless and accused them of continuing the Mueller witch hunt against him. But he was glad that the witch hunt was finally over.
In other news, President Trump just tweeted that he has decided to announce his sister as an acting judge to the supreme court. This decision is expected to generate many court challenges. Congresswoman Maxine and the squad have also called to reopen another impeachment process against the president.
Now that Trump has been impeached and the senate is not taking it up. What happens now? What stops this President from carrying out all manner of unlawful actions and issuing all manner of executive orders?
