   And just so that you understand that the entire basis of   
   the A.I. prank is that I and most Americans know a   
   President cannot be removed from office by a House   
   majority vote for impeachment but only by a two-thirds   
   majority vote in the Senate trial. No such situation has   
   yet arisen in our history.   
   They all escaped removal and punishment. The wrongdoers   
   are protected from criminal punishment by the 25th   
   Amendment.   
   After Watergate, most Americans of my age group well   
   understand the straightforward requirements for the   
   removal of a President. Neither impeachment nor   
   a Senate trial ever occurred since Nixon had found   
   that resigning and "presidential immunity" were more   
   than enough to save his authoritarian crooked butt.   
   Donald could do the same, shutting off any legal   
   retribution as Nixon did effectively, infuriating   
   Democrats and many Americans. It was then that many   
   realized the 25th Amendment is antidemocratic and   
   permits the rich and elite a way out of serving a   
   prison sentence for a criminal offense. Yet, a   
   President can still be charged with a civil offense   
   and brought to civil court during his tenure.   
   There are hardly any older Americans that do not   
   understand the process that you wrongly think they   
   are ill informed of. And that of course includes me   
   who well recalls the Watergate debacle.   
   Donald can escape as Nixon did and it is likely that   
   if overwhelming evidence awaits to convict him of a   
   criminal offense, he'd scoot away with a Nixonian   
   legal maneuver. Or perhaps seek asylum in a host   
   nation that has no extradition policy and likes him.   
   That'd only leave a very few nations he could seek   
   asylum in - Russia, Israel being the top choices   
   where slim majorities support him.   
   He could also commit suicide but that'd likely   
   engender a fierce attitude that he was simply too   
   important to deprive humanity of his superior self,   
   even aided by God's will.
