@KFuentesGeorge@universeodon.com if you vote for the guy doing bad things that you don't like, he has no reason to stop doing those things.
Maybe the key is to give him a reason by also voting for representatives willing to threaten him with impeachment should he do bad things?
It's really how the US checks and balances system was supposed to work.

@snrub but then you move to the next level.
It's not as if your representative is locked in to voting a particular way. They will be influenced into voting one way or another because THEY want to be reelected.
If voters tell their representatives that they will not be reelected if they don't threaten impeachment, that pushes them to hold that sword of accountability over the president's head.
Really, in the end, it all comes down to the voters in the US system. Voters elect the people who are to hold the executive accountable, and they themselves are held accountable by the voters.
If we implement that power, that is.
@volkris@qoto.org @KFuentesGeorge@universeodon.com that's a good long term plan. The leverage you have is the next election though, not a 10 year plan of replacing Congress members.
This leverage is how elections are supposed to work too.
