Hawk takes on a question circulating among frustrated voters: if Democrats retake the House or the Senate in the 2026 midterms, should they impeach Donald Trump a third time? He starts with the procedure many people still misunderstand, walking through how impeachment is a two part process, articles passed in the House that function like an indictment, followed by a trial in the Senate that requires 67 votes to convict and remove.
From there Hawk lays out the political reality. Even with 52 or 53 Senate seats, Democrats would be far short of the Republican votes needed for conviction, and a Republican-controlled Senate might decline to hold a trial at all. He notes how Mitch McConnell pointed to the courts after January 6th, and how impeachments historically boost a president's poll numbers, as they did for Bill Clinton and for Trump twice before.
Weighing it out, Hawk points to an open 2028 White House, a Senate GOP already tired of Trump after the primary losses of John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Thom Tillis, and his own mixed feelings. He explains why he leans toward moving on rather than grinding Congress to a halt, while acknowledging the constitutional argument for using the remedy the founders provided.
