He can try to do all that. How, practically, would that allow him to remain President?

In the second impeachment, his defense council's argument went, words to the effect "the POTUS sets policy in the national interest, as he sees it. If he sees it in the national interest to overturn the election, and stay in office, that makes it OK."

SCOTUS has already given him blanket immunity from criminal prosecution, for his policies as POTUS.

He has already survived two impeachments.

What practical restraint on his actions remains?

Steve
