IGNORANT: 'New York Daily News' Columnist: Can We Just Vote Trump Out?
Apparently, King was too busy tweeting to read the Constitution – you know, the document that answers this precise question. Impeachment is the only Constitutional way of ousting a sitting president, of course, unless Trump is declared mentally unfit for office under the 25th Amendment by the vice president and a majority of cabinet officers, or of such other body as Congress provides by law. But our constitutional system was designed to avoid the instabilities of parliamentary democracy, with its constant votes of no-confidence and shifting governmental powers.
And as for a revision to the Constitution, the Constitution also sets out how amendments work.

Here’s the truth: Trump’s Twitter feed is not a threat to the republic. His rhetoric may not be good for civic discourse, but that’s nothing new – President Obama spent the last eight years undermining civic discourse in a far more sophisticated way than Trump does with his 140-character blasts. And Obama undermined faith in the government far more than Trump has – that’s how Trump was able to sweep into the White House on the back of popular discontent.
The left can keep dreaming that Trump will just disappear, or they can deal with reality. So long as they do the former, Trump will keep winning.
