Someday the public will realise that impeachment isn't the actual removal of someone from office, and in fact (AFAIK) there really isn't a mechanism in place to do that other than shaming them till they quit of their own accord or imprisonment (and technically they could still perform their job from a cell)
The House can impeach and the Senate takes that impeachment and decides if to remove from office. So there is a mechanism, but it doesn't work so well when one major party is so far up the presidents ass they would never vote to remove
We do need another failsafe mechanism, perhaps a way for the people to remove a president from office
"No confidence" voting would be great too, but at this point I'm not convinced it wouldn't result in the same problem with the MAGA cult astroturfing the fuck out of every vote.
