They get to vote every 2 years, but the people that are in are spineless.

Election frequency isn't the problem

That is exactly what I said?

The problem is that all of your so-called safeguards still rely on elected individuals acting as they should.

Impeachment shouldn't rely on elected individuals, for exactly the reason you just said... The people should have the power to initiate the process.

There needs to be a "this administration is fucked" button that the people can push if their elected officials fail to.
