The scandalous first decrees of Donald Trump strengthened the determination of his opponents to try to resign him ahead of schedule. The Internet Petiation with a proposal to achieve impeachment of the president has already been supported by more than 500 thousand people. The organizers of the campaign even found a reason for formal accusations - they argue that Trump and after taking office, have retained contact with the business.
The prospects of this campaign, however, are still foggy. In the history of the United States, there was no example of the impeachment brought to the end. And this will hardly happen with the current composition of the Congress, both wards of which are now controlled by the Republicans.
Theoretically, Trump can be shifted in another way. The US Constitution assumes that his own government can dismiss the president if he decides that he is not able to fulfill his duties. In this case, to the next elections, the country will lead a much more systemic than Trump, Vice President Mike Pence. But this was not the case in practice either once (there were only temporary removal of the presidents for health reasons - with their consent). Such a scenario is possible only if Trump's discontent among the Republicans - so far moderate - will reach a critical level.
