Many legal experts from around the country have already suggested that in just one month, Donald Trump has done enough that will make Congress consider the plea of everyone for his impeachment. As earlier reported by the Inquisitr, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters has made it clear that Trump’s executive order that bans citizens of Muslim-majority country are enough for his removal from the office. If this was not it, then Waters has also openly criticized Donald Trump’s associates and during her recent interview, she has even called the members of his cabinet “a bunch of scumbags.”

However, removing a sitting president is not in the hands of people who are filling online petition, but it is the job of the Senate and the House. The House of Representatives can vote to impeach an official, but in reality, it’s the Senate who actually tries the case of the removal of the president and the vice-president.

Donald Trump’s rumored association with the Russian government has already created a lot of tension in just the first month of his presidency. According to a report from The Sun, the American president at one point, has even defended the Russian president over claims he murders his enemies.

That being said, Donald Trump’s impeachment is not easy and so far, the sitting president has not done anything that will create consternation in the political circle. Do you think that the odds of Donald Trump’s impeachment are looking in his favor? Tell us your views in the comments below.
