            If I recall the issue there was gop controlled senate which dictates punishment for impeachment. So unless midterms turns senate blue then yeah nothing other than history saying agent orange was most impeached president ever.

      because of how massively unpopular the Iran War is

      I haven’t even read the articles but I’m going to take a guess and say this Demonrat only has qualms about the handling of this war and says nothing about how fucking disastrous it was starting it in the first place.
