I struggle to understand how Republican congressmen can make this decision to override their β€œleadership” when he wants to aid and abet the enemy, but not decide to get rid of him for aiding and abetting the enemy

    Edit: I misremembered the names of things, see the reply from waggz@programming.dev

    Actually removing him from office falls to the senate rather than to congress, and it requires a two-thirds supermajority of senate. That was what prevented him from being removed each time he was impeached - congress impeached him, senate did nothing

    Still has to pass the senate, doesn't it? And will Trump have to sign off on it?
