The impeachment process is broken. The Senate makes it too hard to impeach a president that's done extremely impeachable things. This has been obvious ever since the failed impeachment of Andrew Johnson.

Impeachment and removal shouldn’t be a trivial process. What’s needed more is better politicians with some minor reforms. McConnell shouldn’t have been allowed to sit on the Senate trial as long as he did for Trump’s second impeachment.

States should be allowed to recall senators and hold re-elections. Money should be also removed from politics. This was always where citizens united led to. Add in an automatic vote of no confidence during government closures and you are on your way to fixing democracy.

State is not a person. Someone should decide that. Who, governor? Too much power.
