If Congress cannot get its act together in time to impeach President Trump for inciting a violent mob to storm the U.S. Capitol to pressure lawmakers into overturning the election results, then they should take their time and do it right.

A full process would also look closely at his behind the scenes efforts to overturn the results of the election.
