This is not a normal time in American politics. The ground is moving under the feet of the country, as recently held truths and sureties on all sides are undergoing drastic transformation. One of the consequences of such is the bipartisan calls for the president’s second impeachment. Two other president’s have been impeached, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. None have been impeached twice.

Senator Pat Toomey, Republican of Pennsylvania,  is now advocating that path. He is joined by Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska. It is expected on Monday that close to 200 Democrats will bring up impeachment in the House. It will pass there. The move has no chance in the Senate, as there is not enough time for a trial by January 20th. However, Trump could theoretically still be impeached after he leaves office. Yes, very strange times.

FNC: “Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., joined the chorus of lawmakers calling for President Trump to leave office, telling CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ on Sunday that the best course of action would be for the president to resign. Toomey was asked if agreed with Republican colleague Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who told the Anchorage Daily News that she wants Trump to step down.”

“Yeah, I do,” Toomey said. “I think at this point with just a few days left it’s the best path forward, the best way to get this person in the rearview mirror for us. That could happen immediately. I’m not optimistic it will, but I do think that would be the best way forward.”

There has been a call from a House Republican for the president to be removed by the 25th Amendment. But that will not happen, as the vice president will not act on it.

Thus, where does it leave the country? It leaves 10 days of a very awkward period. The president still may act in some way, perhaps in a farewell address to the country. It is unlikely he would verbally concede his election loss or take any responsibility for the assault on the Capitol. Ten days, it will not be comfortable or pleasant. But that’s what we are left with.
