Democrats have only hardened their position as the government shutdown enters its 23rd day, leaving Republican majorities in Congress with few answers — and many criticisms.
For the 12th time, Senate Democrats blocked the Republican Party’s government funding legislation this week without a single senator switching his or her vote.
Just three Democratic caucus members voted for the bill: John Fetterman, D-Pa.; Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev.; and Angus King, I-Maine. That means Republicans are still five votes short of the 60-vote threshold to ensure passage of the bill, just as they have been since before the government shut down 23 days ago.
Democratic voters had pressured their party to take a more confrontational posture toward Trump in the shutdown battle. The new stance may be paying off with the party’s base.
Why hasn’t he been kicked out yet?
Same reason Charlie Brown hasn’t kicked that football
Seriously. He needs to be censured and removed from the party. Make him run as an independent.
What’s the process for removing a sitting Senator?
He hasn’t been kicked out because he won the election, that’s how that works.
The Senate can vote to remove a member with a two thirds vote. The last time it happened was 1862.
Need the ability for recall elections IMO
I mean…we have an impeached, pedophile, multiple convicted felon as president. The wheels for moving someone unfit out of office have been painted over with gold glue made in china, for make America great
Kinda think we’re past ballot and closing in on ammo box
The rules for removing a president are onerous to the point of unviability in a two party system.
Well the literal answer to your question is guns
However what I thought was pretty clear in context is that I was referring to the Democratic party, not the Senate nor existence.
Even if Fetterman was primaried, there would just be a new rotating villain.
