It's getting absurd at this point. I've spent over 10 years plotting against this person. At one point I had over 500% plot power but some of the backers have died out since then. She just won't die. I've spent over 500 gold on these attempts so far. I need her to die damn it!
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:

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

> A presidential pardon for two United States soldiers accused of war crimes, and a sentence reduction for a third, "Run against the letter and the spirit of international law which requires accountability for such violations", the United Nations human rights wing said on Tuesday.
> "While pardons exist in international law, and can properly address issues of injustice or unfairness", Rupert Colville, Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, told reporters at a regular press briefing in Geneva that these cases showed no circumstances to suggest anything other than "Simply voiding the otherwise proper process of law in the cases".
> "These three cases involve serious violations of international humanitarian law, both proven and alleged, including the shooting of a group of civilians and execution of a captured member of an armed group", said Mr. Colville.
> "International Humanitarian Law establishes the obligation to investigate violations and prosecute war crimes", reminded Mr. Colville.
> He pointed out that by investigating the allegations, and initiating and completing criminal proceedings, the US military justice system had been in compliance with international law.
> Underscoring that "Victims of gross human rights violations and serious violations of international humanitarian law have the right to a remedy", Mr. Colville maintained that the pardon terminating further criminal proceedings in the case of Major Mathew Golsteyn, was "Particularly troubling".
