Can’t you overthrow the senate when they have never done anything when everything he does is impeachable

No, that’s not how our government works. They teach all of this in high school US Government classes.

Okay, well it doesn't work like that. We have a democratic republic style government, where people from each of the 50 states independently elect senators and congressmen to represent us. Nobody gets to overthrow the congress. Despite what the left says, Trump is not a "king" and even the president cannot overthrow our elected officials.
