No, it’s because the President, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court are allowing him to do it. It really takes all four to allow this to happen. If any of them were doing the job their supposed to be doing, this wouldn’t be possible.
What we’ve found out is that it only takes two to collude. The court takes too long to deliberate, and by the time they reach a decision, the damage is done. AND they depend on the executive for enforcement.
The courts have said a bunch of stuff he’s done is illegal and must be reversed. He’s either ignored them or done the ketamine shuffle (modified his actions to accomplish the same thing without technically breaking the letter of the law).
And even if Congress were to impeach Trump, and let’s say that they somehow threw in Vance and the entire administration along with him (not remotely feasible or legal btw), then the democratic will of the people would simply elect him in again, after first electing new Senators and Representatives to make that legal.
This is democracy in action: people elect their representatives, who then act as they best see fit to do, subject only to those existing checks and balances.
