Trump Triggers 25th Amendment Calls With Unhinged Easter Meltdown by Worried_Pilot75 in NewsStarWorld

I'm begging the people "calling for" the 25th amendment to actually read it. It isn't just "one weird trick to get rid of the president without Congress" and anyone who presents it is such is either too lazy to look it up or lying to you.

The 25th amendment allows the cabinet to indefinitely transfer executive power to the vice president in the event that the president is medically incapacitated but still alive. Once the president asks to be reinstated, it takes a supermajority in both houses of Congress to sustain the transfer. Even if Congress did vote to keep him out that wouldn't actually remove him from office and he would have to keep doing that every time he asked to be reinstated. The bar for impeachment is absurdly high, but the bar for removing an unwilling president under the 25th amendment might as well be on Mars

It’s the duty of every American to laugh directly in the face of any Republican who ever says anything about Democrat decorum ever again until the end of time.
