minus-squarelntl@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up20·10 months agohe won’t resign unless he is compelled by the law or court order. there are too many people who have invested in him for him to just walk away.
minus-squareHelixDab2@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·10 months agoThere is literally no court aside from SCOTUS that can compel him to resign.
minus-squarejasondj@ttrpg.networklinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoWell, he could be impeached. Simple majority in the house and 2/3 in the senate though, iirc. Don’t see that happening any time soon.
minus-squareHelixDab2@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoRepublicans hold the house for now, so that’s absolutely not happening, esp. since the poorly-name “Freedom Caucus” would immediately move to remove McCarthy if he even brought it to the floor for a vote.
