Won’t happen. We need an executive order that makes it so term limits and age limits are done for Senate and Congress. Also won’t happen, but those limits are more realistic than self-impeachment.
Tennessee already demonstrated what ‘self impeachment’ would look like….
(Thankfully, they were later able to be reinstated.)

Nashville has suddenly become the center of the political world, after the GOP-led Tennessee House of Representatives expelled two Black Democrats on Thursday.
State Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson were expelled for breaking House rules as they protested in favor of gun control on March 30.
Jones and Pearson had marched to the well of the chamber without having permission to speak and, using a bullhorn, joined in with chants from protestors in the public galleries.
A third lawmaker who stood in support of them but did not use the bullhorn, state Rep. Gloria Johnson (D), survived her expulsion vote.
Jones and Pearson are Black. Johnson is white.
The original protests followed a March 27 mass shooting at Nashville’s Covenant School, in which three adults and three children were killed.
The three children were all nine years old.

Two Black state lawmakers in Tennessee are expelled: Five takeaways
Clearly, the only government that works long term is dictatorship. that’s why democracies keep voting to let autocrats run them.
My several greats grandaddy owned slaves and treated them well, they were expensive. He also had poor white sharecroppers who barely scraped by. They were willing to go to war and die to protect his way of life, as long as they got to call themselves superior to the n——-s. Obviously, there’s no correspondence between that and Maga world’s support for Trump…
The kinda piece that works for lame people, who don’t want to address matters as adults, you know the kind I’m talking about…………….“They’re ALL crooks” and other weenie stuff like this, which, ultimately, and someone please explain it to “Men in Tights,” renders this just another Stanti, FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT!!!!!

but first they need to convene a committee to investigate the possibility of impeachment

Oh, they’ll do that — right after two or three more dozen hearings about Hunter, and another dozen about The Laptop.
And some more Benghazi hearings, of course.
.
I mean, God forbid they EVER pass legislation to improve the lives of American citizens.
After all, we’re talking about a legislative chamber controlled by Republicans.

All those republicans, in districts that Biden/Haris won, will lose and the dems win back the house. Hurrah!

They would just be replaced by the exact same type of people.
