Benjamin Franklin helped to create Impeachment Clause of US Constitution. He realized that if a president were to “render himself obnoxious,” then people would logically consider assassination unless there was a legal way to get rid of the president.

Just obnoxious. Not treasonous or acting outside of the best interests of the American people. Just really really fucking annoying.

Ben Franklin understood people.
