Accountability

[stoutfellow]

According to a finding by the Office of Legal Counsel, a sitting President cannot be indicted.

According to a filing by the White House in a New York case, a sitting President cannot be investigated, even by the states.

According to a letter just sent to Congress by the White House, the President cannot be impeached - at least, not by the process currently in motion. Subsequent statements make it clear that no impeachment process would be legitimate, in the eyes of the current administration.

So. What other way, acceptable to the current occupant of the White House, is there to bring an errant President to heel?

So far as I can tell, "No truce with kings" is original to Poul Anderson.

Might make a useful slogan, all the same.

The phrase appears in a poem by Kipling, but I certainly think that the USA’s would-be king should be removed from office and probably sent to prison.
