>> is the legislative branch going to do?

Impeach. Subpoena. Then arrest if subpoena ignored. Pass laws (supermajority to bypass veto). Cut funding to executive office. Then go nuclear with things like amendment putting the armed forces under legislative control. Lots options. All require a united front.

So in other words "no options" because we will never have a unified front in the legislative branch.

> All require a united front.

Which requires Republicans to honor their oath to uphold the Constitution. So it's a non-starter.

Or, massive recalls across the country change the math. My point is that there are totally legal and constitutional options. Nobody need result to silliness.
