"It has come to the attention of the House of Representatives that the acting United States President, his Excellency Floyd Olson, authorized a political assassination, an unconstitutional misuse of executive powers. Therefore, a motion for his immediate impeachment is now underway..."

For those of you who have not yet seen the new events 0.9 has added for what was the former path to avoid the civil war, here you are:

https://i.imgur.com/rMdFCVD.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/L9IbKTS.jpg

So, as has been discussed in multiple posts now, the West Coast does indeed join the opposing side of the civil war due to clear aquisition of evidence that the assassination of Long/Reed was authorized by the acting President.

Now, let's put aside the silliness that they join that side rather than form the PSA for just a moment, as that is a discussion for another post.

What I would like to discuss is what the implications are that evidence does indeed exist that Olson (or as I've heard recently also possibly Garner) has authorized the assassination, and that Establishment politicians have easy access to this information.

In this scenario, it is now known by the House of Representatives and the United States Senate that the president has committed an unspeakable crime and tried to get away with it, even if it was considered "for the Greater Good." You can bet that it's not just going to be the Pacific representatives that are going to be upset about this. And, unlike MacArthur, Olson has not declared Marshall Law and temporarily dissolved the old systems of power. Checks and balances are still in check to oppose his Tyranny.

I think that it is clear that, to save face and the integrity of the office of the United States President, Olson would face immediate impeachment proceedings.

Now what would this look like in-game?

Well, first of all, it would make an interesting alternative to the Thirty Day deadline. As the Newspaper event claims, one of the demands of the resisting rebels is for Olson to step down and the creation of a reconciliation council. Now the council idea, especially one appointed by the opposition, is out of the question I'm certain, but Olson stepping down is far from being so.

The first event you could get, mere days after the rise of the PSA/AUS, could be one in which news leaks to the public about the assassination, and the ensuing outrage. You could even have discussion about how media moguls like the Hearst services attempt to downplay the severity of the act, but that discontent among the general public is clear.

Shorty after, or maybe around the same time, you could get an event from the opposing sides that list off their demands, the primary one o

ELI5: Why can the United States House of Representatives and Senate ignore each other?

Not trying to start a political discussion. I just really don't understand how two governing bodies that are supposed to have equal authority can pretend the other doesn't exist. If I'm not mistaken, if something is passed in the Senate, the House of Representatives can just ignore it and vice versa. How is that possible? Or if I'm mistaken in my understanding of this please correct my misunderstanding.
