That's a good link, but midterms are 18 months away. What do you mean they 'happen first'? Do you mean they have to take place so impeachment proceedings become possible? I disagree with that contention.

The Republican congress might impeach the president if a huge scandal became impossible to deny.

They aren't going to impeach the president for doing things they largely agree with.

> The Republican congress might impeach the president if a huge scandal became impossible to deny.

No way. Republicans would burn down this country rather than admit they have a bad president.

Reminder that if Trump is impeached, next in line is Mike Pence.

They will if people make their lives miserable enough.

You generally need grounds for impeachment before proceedings can start.

The constitution is so vague on what constitutes and impeachable offense that it's pretty much whatever congress decides at the time.

There is enough of an argument that he's violating the emoluments clause that if congress wanted to they could almost definitely use that as grounds for impeachment.

> You generally need grounds for impeachment

Grounds for impeachment are whatever the House decides are grounds for impeachment.

Obviously some people consider those to exist, while others disagree.
