White House Floats Idea of Partial Impeachment


19 January 2019

In a surprise last minute maneuver, White House negotiators offered a pathway for ending the partial government shutdown.

"We are prepared to insure that there will be no shutdown, but in return, we want assurances from Congress that there will only be partial impeachment.  For example, let's say that President Trump would no longer carry out the duties of Chief Executive, but still gets to live in the White House ... and still gets to fly on Air Force One!  That last one's important: the President was very clear that he will not back down on Air Force One.  He really likes Air Force One." 

"But does the constitution allow for a 'partial impeachment'?"

"Actually, this is something the President just came up with after someone explained why it will only be a 'partial' government shutdown.  It's still a work in progress."
