There is a constitutional law for "emoluments" (bribery) that justifies impeachment. Trump has an extensive list of violations dating from first term. But the defense of "there were days I did not take a bribe" shifts to "no one said anything about the previous 100 bribes". Only a military coup fixes the US because democracy is too corrupt, and constitution is worthless.
