I'd guess so.
I'd also expect impeachment threats, hearings, inquiries and attempts to be a fairly regular thing from now on.
How nice it is, that we have split into tribes. Our elected representatives utilizing their time to work together for the good of America 'n stuff.
.
Am I correct, in that Trump has a path to American history as the first impeached and re-elected?
Sure. Andrew Johnson was not removed from office, but didn't run again for a second term.
Clinton was in his second term when his impeachment took place.
After the Clinton impeachment, for what looked to me like pure gotcha politics, not that Clinton wasn't a total sleazeball, he was, but what he did does not compare to some of the other presidents, and I'm not just talking about John Kennedy with Fiddle and Faddle!
So I was surprised that overturning elections and soft coups didn't happen right away, like with George W. Bush. I guess it was all the 9/11 upset and the several wars that stopped that. And then of course they couldn't impeach The First Black President, however incompetent he was, so this has really been the first chance for busting up democracy and invalidating elections since the Clinton thing.
As for tribes, I'm okay with that. Since the constant frenzied screaming at me in 2016 and 2017, I've moved to only talk to people on my side --- well, and you --- and I think that's a lot safer. And more pleasant.
