The Senators walked over to the White House... [View all]

...and told Mr Nixon in no uncertain terms, that he must resign or he would be impeached. They were Republicans. Unlike the quislings now in power, they cared about their country and they had backbones. It would be a long crawl for these invertebrates that now call themselves "Republicans". They are a disgrace to America.

But, we have reached a similar point in history at this very moment, in my opinion. We need 3 or 4 Senators with a love for our country and our Constitution to take the short walk to the White House. And they need to tell the criminal now occupying the Presidency that he needs to step down immediately. He has become an existential threat to our freedoms and he must go. It is a matter of national security of the highest urgency.
