It seems to me that teaching potential demagogues that they will go unpunished if it's sufficiently inconvenient is a bad lesson to teach if you want to keep a republic.

You can't impeach or have any justice done in two weeks. It's just not worth it.
If there's some kind of crime that's been committed and it can be prosecuted successfully, then by all means after he's out of office. I don't think that's the case though.

You can prevent him from pardoning the rioters. You can bar him from running again.
Impeachment actually does things other express disappointment.

I have been hearing this same shit for 4 years and look at this smoking crater.
Just maintain order and wait it out.
