About a year ago, I bought this mug because I thought it was hilarious. One year later, I have no regrets.

Turns out you can’t impeach a president for gross incompetence but you can and should impeach a president for withholding congressional approved funds from a country so they’ll do you a personal favor.

You are even allowed to impeach a president for having consensual sex with an adult.
But for gross incompetence? That would be declaring open war on American Democracy. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/474134260149157888 …

.@realDonaldTrump, there really is a tweet for every occasion.

We didn’t impeach you for gross incompetence, although we could have. You abused the power of your office and obstructed Congress.

Congratulations, you have made history.

Yes @realDonaldTrump, that is indeed possible. That's why you're being impeached right now

Final Answer:

I don’t think so, but we can impeach for bribery and obstruction of justice

Ps. If we could impeach for gross incompetence, you would have already been cancelled/deleted/impeached/removed#ImpeachmentEve
