This reckless dismantling leading directly to fatalities can be cited as cause when the House seeks presidential censure. This would include an agreement that Trump must sign, agree to, and continue to abide by. If he fails, that will trigger impeachment.
But this agreement should not include a demand of forfeiture of his emolument gains up front. If the House does indeed have the power to require emolument forfeiture if he is to remain president, that should lie one step below actual impeachment. That way Dems would retain significant leverage. But if that power doesnt exist, the threat of shutting off the gold spigot sooner with a hasty impeachment rather than later by running out the clock will weigh heavily in Trumps decisions.
Money is the crucial factor; Trump will do most anything to keep the lions share of his ill-gotten gains including those that fly. Its a reflexive instinct. The best result of all this isnt Trump yielding to a President Vance because JD would only be the proxy for Peter Thiel. And Thiel will make the replacement of democracy with kleptocratic RepubloFascism a far more efficient and tidy process.
If you please, here are my suggestions for what stipulations should be in the presidential censure document:
-
Trump must reinstall all previously fired IGs and fire his most insidious carryover, Department of Homeland Security IG Joseph Cuffari.
-
Trump must adhere to all laws and norms in the future and align with his oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution.
-
All acts outside of those bounds up to this point must be corrected as possible, including punitive acts against Harvard and other institutions. Also reversed would be the senseless ending of funding for medical research along with restoring dozens of other hollowed out programs that citizens depend on.
-
Similarly, the extra-legal activities, security breaches, and illegal firings by Elon Musk must be reversed, and DOGE ends now. All firing and defunding domestically by DOGE must be reevaluated, and reversed if documentation cannot justify actions taken. Also, Trump will restore international DOGE cuts including the most sadistic: ending USAID and PEPFAR.
-
The weaponizing of governmental agencies and the DOJ to target Trumps political foes must end. The separation of powers among the three branches of government will be restored.
-
Any further actions taken on Iran MUST be brought before Congress first as stipulated in the Constitution. Similarly, all decisions on tariffs must return to the House because no state of emergency ever existed for those duties to be commandeered. This, actually, can be a key inducement to prospective CC members that need to cite economically critical high moral ground that struggling constituents can appreciate.
-
The government contract with Palantir must be cancelled, and the sharing of all private information between agencies shall not move forward. Any privacy breaches that do harm to individuals can be grounds for civil suits directed at Musk specifically, being that he acted as a consultant outside of government office and simply took data without any congressional approval.
-
All pardons must adhere to normal approval standards and not be available to previous and current coconspirators in violating the law.
-
ICE can no longer detain and/or deport anyone without due process, meaning an end to blanket sweeps without warrants focused only on specific individuals. Also, records of arresting officers thus far must be released by badge number, with identities subject to subpoena in civil suits against those using excessive force or punitive cruelty. All ICE agents must display badges and ID numbers. Also, ICE funding can be used for reparations due those unjustly detained and/or treated.
-
All Cabinet and governmental agency choices originally put up for Senate confirmation MUST be reevaluated, mandating the previous higher standards for competency, experience, and familiarity with the roll. Also, there will be more weight given to FBI vetting, with critical weaknesses released to the public. Those already violating those standards as cited by reinstated Inspectors General will not be reconsidered.
-
When Congress passes a massive Restoring Americas Greatness bill, Trump will not veto it. Hell let its reforms restore funding across the boards, while clawing back the billionaire tax giveaways to pay for it all. And hell have to take his fancy jet as is. It wont be converted to a gilded Air Force 1.
-
President Trump must secure an agreement with VP Vance to adhere to these same guidelines, even if he were to eventually become President himself. Failure on Vances part once in the Oval could immediately trigger similar censure or impeachment proceedings.
