True but other countries don't have an equivalent process.


Most have, but the decition is made by the local politicians instead of foreing nuclear powers. It's actually very similar to the impeachment.


Sorry I phrased that poorly. I meant countries have no means to impeach a foreign head of state so impeachment only serves as a power check if the citizenry disapproves.

Not that I think heads of state fearing for their lives from airstrikes is necessarily good, being able to act with impunity is certainly bad.
