    Unfortunately impeachment is also meaningless. I don’t see a circumstance where 67 senators would ever vote to convict.

    The only thing that might work is to be barred from public office and placing the secret service under congressional control to enforce it. But since presidents are untouchable kings now, 2/3rds of Congress and state legislatures are never going to give that up when they could be the king one day themselves.
