With the Iran war expanding and President Donald Trump’s public behavior growing more erratic by the week, a question that has long been treated as too politically radioactive to raise is now breaking into mainstream discussion: Is there a path to removing this president from office before January 2029?
Impeachment has been attempted already—twice. And twice it has failed to lead to a conviction. The 25th Amendment remains a constitutional long shot. And yet the argument for simply waiting him out is becoming harder to sustain as Trump’s conduct grows more unhinged and the institutional damage accumulates. Just the other day he threatened genocidal annihilation of a people group. So what would it actually take? Is there a realistic road to conviction in the Senate? And what would the articles of impeachment even say?
To discuss these questions, The UnPopulist Senior Editor Andy Craig sits down with William Kristol, editor at large of The Bulwark and one of the most prominent and persistent critics of Trump’s abuses of presidential power for the past decade.
