Mark, what happens if the democratically (although not popularly) elected President is removed from office on nothing more than rumours and 'possibilities'? That are being enthusiastically pushed along by politicians who've recently lost an election to him?

Not only does that set a bad precedent, if said President actually hasn't done anything compromising in the first place, then you've managed to remove an elected President for absolutely nothing.  

And do you really think *that's* going to go unnoticed by the Russian, Chinese, Iranian governments? Do you think they're as incapable of ratf*cking as Nixon's team was?
