It seems to me that if someone is designing a removal mechanism for the executive to be used by the legislature—a no-confidence motion or impeachment—that it should be a secret ballot on final removal.

HELP! I'm being inspired against my own will! I'm feeling seen! I'm uncovering hope under layers of cynicsm! Who is this spokesperson for a self-reflective party that is committing to fight back, and what does he think he's doing??
