I think it's pretty clear by now to many people that the Trump administration is so corrupt with its business ties and special interests and its treasonous ties to Russia/Vladimir Putin, that it is a real danger to our country.

Therefore, I suggest that the U.S. Congress immediately impeach the entire Trump administration, and temporarily appoint Barack Obama and some key members of his administration to govern our country until a complete new election can be held. Each political party/persuasion — independent, Democrat, Republican, etc. — would have one month to declare and campaign with one candidate team for president and vice president, including one national debate with all candidates.

After that month, a national election would be held with the winner of the national popular vote being declared our country's new president and vice president. They could then begin the process of setting up their new administration following all protocols to affirm their Cabinet positions. Our country should not have to endure another day of this current administration.
