    So did I: this is supposed to be a representational democracy, with representatives picked locally, with elections held by each state, to represent their individual constituents at every level of government, near or distant.

    If the people want a president gone, their representatives are supposed to be doing that for them. That is their specific job.

    The check on the elected representatives is that they are supposed to be disposable when bad, swapped out for better representatives through elections, which is part of why their term length is relatively short.
