    This might be brushed off by Republicans as a move by a sour loser since he lost his primaries to a Trump fanboy, but it means the GOP candidates will have to take sides on an unpopular war right before the midterms.

      Correct. 2/3 of the Senate present required to remove.

      At least it’s a start. His boss is ultimately responsible, but it’s better than nothing if they succeed.

      The only drawback to this is that a lot of innocent people are going to killed while he keeps fucking things up.
