It's Coming....The Drum Is Being Beat
The 25th Amendment
The 25th Amendment, proposed by Congress and ratified by the states in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation.

Guess we can keep hoping.

3. Nope, I don't want the 25th amendment.
I want indictments. Lots of them.
I want the dossier validated.
I want the truth about how he "won" this campaign to be known to all.

43. If there is probably cause to arrest him, Congress would proceed via impeachment
which is procedurally simpler and politically less dangerous than going the 25th amendment route, where Trump remains, in effect, the president even after the VP begins exercising the duties of the office as "acting president".
The bottom line is that a repub cabinet, VP and Congress are never going to invoke the 25th amendment against Trump for being "unable to discharge the duties of his office" because his tweets are ****ed up.
:lmao:

6. This might really be something. Corker
seems to be a well respected guy. His resume indicates that he has done some pretty decent things in his life. I'm wondering if he decided that Trump had to be stopped and then decided to retire from politics in order to try and make that happen. I'm sure his fellow senators know what he's up to. This may be wishful thinking on my part but, as you say, we can always hope.
Corker is on his way out.

34. Pence may be guilty of the Russia thing
and for all we know may be more eager to bring about Armageddon.
It is the leadership of the Republican Party that needs the stake through the heart. (the garlic treatment just has not been working)
(Thus ever to the political vampires that are sucking the blood out of our democracy and replacing it with slow-flowing poison).
If they are proven guilty no Republican should be in the Oval Office.
....and I thought the old vampire movies were just fake news---little did I know).
:yawn: calling for the death of republican politicians.... again...

38. I mean, I'd love the 25th amendment to be inacted
But I'm not expecting it. It takes the vice president and EIGHT cabinet members. And if doesn't accept to step down, it takes 2/3rds House and 2/3rds Senate.
As long as Trump has his base and is still popular in the south and midwest, no one in his cabinet is going to risk shattering their political career to turn their back on him.

1. Not going to happen. No crimes have been committed.
2. That'll happen in a parallel universe, not this one. Sorry ....... well, not really.
3. Trump worked hard. HilLIARy didn't or couldn't. Trump worked smart. HilLIARy dismissed the advice of her smart people and did not. It's simple, but DU-winer "Merlot" doesn't want to see it (HilLIARy prefers chardonnay, BTW).

I thought that I saw a little blurb last Friday about that dossier . . . that it had conclusively been proven false.
I could be wrong.

Cannot wait to announce the 2017 Ralphie DUmmy term of the year. Unless something dramatically changes, which is highly doubtful, decided on this one long ago.

It's more like a stable-full of dead horses that they beat in rotation: 25th Amendment <---> Trump will resign <---> impeachment <---> Muellermas <---> Treason <--->
