a strong majority in the House and a solid 2/3 majority in the Senate. With those, we can impeach and rid ourselves of all sorts of Trumpist officials.

Without the 2/3 of the Senate, though, impeachment isn't a real factor. And impeachment is the strongest measure of control we can have.

So, the answer is to get that 2/3 majority, along with a House majority. If we can do that, we're good. If not, we're going to have to wait two more years and do it in 2028.
