Well, he's clearly demonstrated he won't be shamed out of office.....so, it needs to be formal.
But that's the problem. I'd like to think that prior to the Trump era, if someone from the GOP was so ludicrously unfit for office and so openly caught in a multitude of lies, he or she would have been kicked out of Congress by their own party.

However, that's not the case in the GOP any more. It speaks volumes to the problems we have here.

In the U.K. I often think that the beginning or acceleration of this lack of political accountability was massively influenced by Blair and Iraq. In the US, it was Clinton that should have been kicked out of office.
Now you get the impression that politicians say ‘well do I have to quit?’ and as they generally aren’t legally obliged and the news cycle moves so quickly relieving the pressure, no one seems to give a fat one. Dunno how that Santos guy can even show up for work every day.
