Have those morons even read the 25th? They see a provision for removing the president and they don’t even care if they have no say in the matter. It would be Pence and Trump’s cabinet that would take that action - and that just ain’t happening.

The 25th amendment explains what happens AFTER a President is no longer President (for whatever reason).

It has NOTHING to do with making a President a non President.


Does anyone read English ?

The media needs to be checked if they are mentally unstable since the election. Maybe they were unstable before the election too.

Maybe protestors in the media are the same as the protestors in the street.

The same folks who wouldn’t “invoke the 25th amendment” when BJ Clinton was using a cigar on an intern in the oval office. Total scum.

Actually it does provide for replacement of a president who becomes incapacitated while in office. The kicker for his detractors is that it requires the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet officers to invoke that provision.

Yes, they’ll first have to prove/establish that he’s impaired.

One sign of serious mental problems is believing anyone who I disagrees with you is mentally unsound merely for doing so.

All these global Communists are the experiencing a mental health breakdown. They do not typically bother with the Constitution. It is time for their doctors to up the dosage on their meds.

Section 4 allows for Congress to pass a law creating another body to make the determination that the President is incapacitated. If, in their wildest dreams, the Democrats had control of both houses of Congress in 2019, it’s virtually certain they would not have a veto-proof majority.
