To impeach, or not to impeach

You see, only an idealist/ partisan blue would be content with sitting in the oval office and accomplishing nothing for six years. Sorry, Obama falls way short of Eisenhower for obvious reasons and his successor had nothing to do with that either.

Except for the part about doing nothing, of course. While he had a Democratic Congress (only 2 years for the Senate) he managed to get Obamacare passed -- then the GOP obstructionists took over and noting moved, period.

Remember, Presidents aren't kings, unless Congress gives them free reign. Trump's had free reign on appointments and nothing passes the Senate not approval stamped by the Orange One. Everything the House passes, and there has been a lot, goes to the Senate to die. If doing nothing is the plan, divided government gets you there, at least for now.
