When is it too late to resign?

The Government should have been out the door within days, considering how they just wiped out hundreds of millions in debt owed to the state by Bob Dole.

In most other countries, you wouldn't just be looking at a resignation; you'd be looking at a prison sentence.

The US isn't even a democracy or a rule-of-law nation at this point—I mean, people actually took to the streets to say what they think, but honestly, they have themselves to blame since they keep voting for the exact same anti-American politicians over and over again. If this were actually a functional republic, why wouldn't the people's will actually be enough to flip the government?
