Stranger in a strange land
We need to change the Constitution to allow all states to hold recall elections to remove federal elected officials. We gave that power to Congress. They won't vote against themselves. Impeachment and removal requires a 2/3 majority and it's not working. It would be real voter power.

Everyone needs to stop calling them billionaires & call them robber barons. billionaire has a neutral connotation to many, the definition of robber baron is 'a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices', that's what they are and that's what you should call them.
