A coterie of congressmen are secretly meeting to concoct a plan to impeach President Donald Trump, the New Yorker reports.

Writing for the magazine, Evan Osnos reports that “Trump’s critics are actively exploring the path to impeachment or the invocation of the Twenty-fifth Amendment, which allows for the replacement of a President who is judged to be mentally unfit.”

Osnos claimed during an appearance on MSNBC, This is a conversation that people are having around the dinner table, it’s one people have at the office, members of Congress are talking about it in private and the question is very simple: is this a president who is able to do the job and is able to go the distance?

I think they are really called “Terrorists”. They, like Al Qaeda and ISIS, want Trump removed

I wouldn’t be surprised that these conspirators are republican as well as democrat. I guess sedition is okay if it’s bipartisan.

ZMy money is on the Mormon cult mafia....and all of their ‘butt buddies” (and yes, I think Romney and most of the rest of them prefer boys, rather than their assigned beards!)

Dollars to donuts Ryan's had impeachment papers in his desk since before Trump was inaugurated. The only reason he can't go forward with them is the President's popularity.

He curses every time he looks at those polls...

There is little that would make me march armed to DC......
I would burn it down for this.....
I swore an oath to the constitution of the US when I joined the military to protect against enemies both foreign and domestic....
This would meet and exceed that standard.....
Let them try.....

I’d bet Ryan and McConnell are the leaders.

There is another word for what they are doing: Treason.

Impeachment is only to be implemented (via the Constitution) for "treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors."

Ironically, Obama engaged in all of those.

Trump has engaged in no such conduct, yet members of Congress are engaged in a conspiracy (and yes, that is a legal term with meaning) against the President of the United States.

These people are guilty of not only treason, but also sedition.

” “Trump’s critics are actively exploring the path to impeachment or the invocation of the Twenty-fifth Amendment”

nothing new here: the enemedia has claimed this was in the works each and every day since 1/20/2016.
