Public pressure on Congress could help it shift decisionmaking to the electorate. Congressional support would initiate a national referendum that would be open to all eligible voters in state elections. " If Congress is not willing to impeach them, why do you it would be willing to vote 60 percent to give "we the people" the option of impeaching them?
