minus-squarelntl@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up20·2 年前he won’t resign unless he is compelled by the law or court order. there are too many people who have invested in him for him to just walk away.
minus-squareHelixDab2@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 年前There is literally no court aside from SCOTUS that can compel him to resign.
minus-squarejasondj@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前Well, he could be impeached. Simple majority in the house and 2/3 in the senate though, iirc. Don’t see that happening any time soon.
minus-squareHelixDab2@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 年前Republicans hold the house for now, so that’s absolutely not happening, esp. since the poorly-name “Freedom Caucus” would immediately move to remove McCarthy if he even brought it to the floor for a vote.
