Krasnov should be removed!

He took an oath to support the Constitution. His Executive Order regarding birthright citizenship directly subverted the Constitution. That is treason.

If he wanted to remove the 14th Amendment, he needs to draft and pass a 28th Amendment. By not following the Constitution he commits treason.

If nothing else, Presidents are bound to operate within the Constitution be they take a public oath.

Each time he/his administration redirects Congressional expenditures they are committing treasonous violations. Every DOGE reduction fits too.

The only question is: Do citizens have standing to bring charges against members of the administration?

1. In some situations I'd say, yes they do. And some attorneys are doing just that.

Attorney Marc Elias comes to mind. We should all donate a few bucks to him. I'm sure it would help the cause of democracy a lot.

We should take a lesson from Europeans and be in the streets enmass every damn day. I say this as I sit on my sofa texting this response. We should all be doing more. At the very least vote in the mid-terms.

... is secondary to the swearing of an oath which he has repeatedly betrayed. If he'd sworn his Oath of Office on his bank statement, it would have had more credibility.

4. His executive order wasn't treason as that term is defined in the constitution

And, no, citizens can’t “bring charges” against the administration.

And if you stop and think about it would you want such power to be used against a Democratic administration?

9. A lot of things should be.

At this point, we should have universal healthcare, housing, education, access to nutritious food, clean water, jobs and internet.

We should have infrastructure and transportation that is the envy of the world.

We should have full equal rights and social equity across the board.

But we can’t have any of that because of this system we choose to live under.

And like it or not, Piss is the very epitome of that system. He’s the perfect representative of the ruling class.They’re never going to oust him.

Republicans have been brought to heel and they won’t ever vote to hold him accountable. They are as guilty as he is.

12. 1.) Alas, you misdefine "treason." His taking Top Secret documents better qualifies, but.....

even then, the Constitution requires more. Nobody foresaw a Trump, foreign agent, Putin lackey.

2.) Re: "citizens' standing." The only Constitutional remedy to remove a President is Impeachment. Can we sue, say, Sec. Hegseth? Yes.

3.) You are preaching to the choir!
