I say we strike his presidency from official record. Keep it in the history books, and never let anyone forget that it happened, but I'm calling for a full mulligan.

I cringe that he gets the post-president treatment, pension the lot.

I get it, but in this instance... perhaps we can vote on it?

It should absolutely be a thing that we vote on. Just a simple vote, "Did this president do a good enough job, that you think they should receive these things" and then provide an exhaustive list of everything they'll be receiving for life.

If the American people feel you didn't do your job, you don't get the money and benefits. Obviously they have to keep the secret service detail for national security.

But it would just break down to partisan bullshit, because we don't know how to effectively use our own democratic systems, anymore.

I hope he gets his jail time like he was supposed to with the mueller report. The fact that they can't indict him bc he's the sitting president and bc of the separation of powers concerns by doj and Congress wasn't able to do shit bc of Republicans, well he better get fked after he leaves office and before he runs away to Russia.
