His approval ratings plummeted and he caved after airports started shutting down.
Look at what happened to his approval in January. That was when he shut the government down.

Trumps veto and reopen the government.

impeach and convict him. No investigation needed. He just shut down the government in a blackmail scheme to stop the House from impeaching him. That's obstruction.
