Fine, lets forget the dramatization that bothers you so and why don’t you show the article and section number of the Constitution where it say’s the president can be removed other than impeachment or becomes incapacitated. Or are you going to concoct something absurdly complicated and convoluted and connected by tenuous assumptions?

Read the Constitution. It’s utterly facinating. I read it 5 or 6 times a year and am still amazed at it’s subtleties and nuances, not to mention some short and succinct passages of clear meaning such as:

such as Article 2, Section 4.

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Or

Article 3 section 3

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Your dramatizations are as amusing as they are ridiculous, they are no bother.

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. - Art. III sec 3

The Constitution here specifies what constitutes Treason. The question of whether a person’s acts meet these specifications is determined by the Judiciary.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. - Art. II sec 1

The Constitution here specifies eligibility requirements. The question of whether a person meets these specifications is determined by the Judiciary.
