Trump Trainwreck - Ongoing diary of betrayal and evil

The optimal solution would be to re-do the Presidential and Senate elections, but without Donald Trump.

Assuming The Donald's electoral votes became invalid, and unless enough electors thought it their prerogative to change their votes, Hillary would likely be unable to get an electoral majority. At that point the Congress takes over. I do not believe there is anything in the Constitution that allows a new election, but there is a clear path through the Congress when the Electoral College cannot get a clear winner.

But I also think it would take a court decision to declare The Donald's votes invalid. It can't be done by a consensus of Sunday morning talk shows. For this to happen, somebody will have to lawyer up and file some objections. Not a lot of time left.

Impeachment seems like the most likely path. "High crimes and misdemeanors" is pretty vague. The Congress would also be more inclined to act after Trump actually does something. He'd have to outrage his own party, though, as well as the Democrats.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
