I felt the same about the California recall and I haven't changed my mind a bit.
The threat of impeachment or recall needs to be there to keep them honest. It should have a very high threshold but political crimes should be inbounds as in California. It needs to have 2/3 vote though to raise the bar.
I'd say that if you can't find a third of the people who want you to stay you're not going to be an effective leader. It doesn't hurt for them to worry about that.
I do still like the idea of naming the tollbooths after him.
