    So how long before something like a no confidence action or something can be taken to stop this? He’s speedrunning turning the US into a madhouse and I know the VP would be next in line but… Something? Anything more legitimate than just fighting fire with fire by various groups being uncooperative?

      The US doesn’t have a mechanism for a no confidence vote, the only thing we have is impeachment, and that won’t happen while the Republicans own the House and Senate.

      You need a 218 vote majority to impeach in the House, Republicans hold a 220 vote majority there.

      Then you need a 67 vote majority in the Senate to convict and remove him, Republicans hold 53/100 seats there.
