I'm not an American, but can I ask how they can get rid of him before his four years is up? Is that what impeaching is? Didn't they already do that last time? Didn't seem to work...

I’m no expert on american politics, but from what I understand they would need to impeach him or him stepping down due to mounting resistance from the public. Impeachment needs a majority vote (2/3 I think) which won’t happen unless the democrats have enough votes.
Last time they did not.

The last seems unlikely, but I do believe most republican reps will change their tune if their constituents threaten their job security.
My reasoning being that they are in it for themselves first and foremost.

What confuses us (read: me) in Europe is how much shit they all get away with before voters change their mind. Hopefully more and more americans get fed up with the administration as prices rise and allies choose to look elsewhere for trade and weaponry.
