All they would be able to do is recommend Impeachment or a recall election. Thanks for this. I’d seen an article that some of the DAs were challenging the law on separation of powers grounds, but wasn’t sure how that arose. If the removal process is set out in the Constitution, sounds like a good argument that the Legislature can’t just create fifty ways to leave your DA. ---

I think it’s an image that will be celebrated by both his detractors and his supporters. I can see it being on the top-selling MAGA T-shirt at the Trump grift store. ---
