Cute but I doubt American government will fully admit that they were compromised in similar fashion to a third world country. No vote tallies were changed--- people have made misinformed decisions before voting for hundreds of years.

This does raise a fascinating question though: what would happen if there was clear evidence that an American presidential election had vote totals manipulated by an outside party?  (To be clear: I do NOT think that happened in 2016.)  What would Congress do?  What could they do after the President was inaugurated, other than impeachment?

If the president was not involved with the hacks, I don't think impeachment would necessarily be appropriate in that case (of course, if he/she were, then definitely).

You're right: what would happen?

Actually, vote tallies were changed, and the vote tallies were changed from a situation where Hillary Clinton won the Electoral College 334-204 to a situation where Donald Trump won the Electoral College 305-233.

This didn't happen. At all.

The Russians didn't magically change votes in AZ, FL, NC, WI, PA, MI, and ME-02.  Stop trolling.

Yes. Only minds.
I don't think they were responsible for convincing that many voters, either.
