Isn't it high time a mechanism (short of assassination) was put in place to remove dangerous lunatics from public office?

We have two, the XXV Amendment and impeachment. They don't work when the allegedly sane officials who operate them are cowards.

I include the Democrats in the House of Representatives in that definition. The leading charge in their articles of impeachment was "abuse of power," which is neither a high crime nor a misdemeanor, and therefore not impeachable. They didn't have the backbone to call bribery bribery.

It is long overdue......particularly in a country that should be advanced, and progressive. I think that all potential leaders should have mandatory physical and psychological exams.......to assess fitness for office.

Other high stress professions have that as a routine.......

What we are seeing is how far some will go to protect someone in that role.........for a variety of reasons.......... some of which are fear of the bloke himself. But these enablers might pay in the end. History will not look kindly on them. But then Trump might control how the history of his regime is written.

I guess impeachment is not a good enough mechanism.

From my very limited knowledge, I understand that "impeachment" merely means "challenged" and it seems one can be impeached, yet in some cases able to carry on as before, Bill Clinton for one example. It doesn't seem that any penalty is automatically tied to a successful impeachment. Please advise me if I'm wrong.

Technically correct. Impeachment of the president by the House of Representatives is the equivalent of laying charges. It then goes to the Senate to try the president on the articles of impeachment. If convicted, he's out of office (that's never happened). If acquitted, the issue's deader'n four o'clock, and we press on.

The whole process has come to be (inaccurately) called "impeachment."

Most Trump Supporters Can't Wait to Vote for Him

And those are just the ones responding to the survey. Many Trump supporters don't tell others they are Trump supporters.

If you think having the USA 'down the gurgler' there are only two nations capable of replacing it. Russia and China. You seem to think that is just great!
