Ukraine has not done the new election thing yet, has it? What would be the response in the US if some group took over the WH and said they were the government?

Just sayin'....

Dunno. Would Obama run to Mexico and ask the Mexicans to intervene?

What would be the response in the US if some group took over the WH and said they were the government?

First, the Ukraine is very unlike the US, so this is a stupid analogy.

Second, no one in the Ukraine is saying "we are the government." They are saying they want new elections to establish a government.

He was impeached by their congress. I don't know what the Ukrain constitution allows, but it was not just a mob.

If that wasn't constitutional, then bring him back, arrest him on theft and corruption charges, and imprison him.

They impeached him and convicted him, so in the US he would be gone.

The question is who follows an impeached and convicted president in the USA? I assume it’s the VP, but that would cause major heartburn if the sidekick of the guy you just got rid of took over the white house. Kick out Obama and get Biden?

They kicked out Nixon and got...not vp spiro agnew...but newly installed vp Gerald Ford. I suspect someone would do something similar with Biden.
