965: Resignation, 25th Amendment: impeachment, or muddle? @DanHenninger, @WSJOpinion
Image: The Senate as a court of impeachment for the trial of Andrew Johnson / sketched by Theodore R. Davis. Dan Henninger: @DanHenninger, @WSJOpinion; editorial board and Wonder Land column; in re: The Wall Street Journal recommends that President Trump resign rather than suffer a second impeachment. This would give him “agency” over his situation. Our political system is damaged, contributed to by many people. Invoking the 25thAmendment would deepen the damage. Starting impeachment proceedings can begin after Jan 20. Mr Trump will never get more than 50% of the votes again. Nancy Pelosi has continued hyperpartisanship; Pelosi an Schumer have all but killed [comity]. No resignation, no impeachment, no 25th, no self-pardon; next twelve days? President Trump will prepare to depart.
