Dozens of Dems Support Bill to Create Panel That Could Remove Trump From Office

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.) has introduced a bill that would create a congressional oversight commission that could declare the president incapacitated, leading to his removal from office under the Constitution's 25th Amendment.

Twenty-four House Democrats are now backing the bill, including the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. John Conyers (D., Mich.), Yahoo News reported Friday.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.), the former chair of the Democratic National Committee, is also co-sponsoring the legislation.

The support from top Democrats for the bill comes despite House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and other Democratic leaders telling more ardent members of their caucus to stop talk of impeaching President Donald Trump.

"In case of emergency, break glass," Raskin told Yahoo News in an interview. "If you look at the record of things that have happened since January, it is truly a bizarre litany of events and outbursts."

This is an outright coup attempt and the Democratic party MUST BE DISSOLVED.

[Eddie01]

Go for it.

Really.

[pfflier]

Jeez, all you have to do is look at the names supporting this nonsense.

It is time for the republicrats to remind this scum who lost all the recent elections.

[NormsRevenge]

Personally, anyone that signs on to this ‘piece’ of legislation should be expelled from CONgre$$ and their pensions&benefits canceled.

After that fails they’ll try something else

Meanwhile, Trumps supporters become more distant from and in brinwashable from the press and media, Nancy Pelosi gets wackier and Trump gets happier big league

Works for me

These Rats are bat guano crazy.

Is this type of legislation even constitutional?

---

Yes, yet it is. Sec. 4 of the 25th reads in part:
“Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide...”

But for it to work, Congress would have to pass and the President sign the legislation providing for this.

I believe what would be more useful is to have a committee look at some of these congressional fossils.

Further proves the worst has yet to be revealed.

The dims have been terrified since before the election.

They have a lot to hide.

[broken_arrow1]

Why didn’t we think of that when Obama was in office?

[chief lee runamok]

These elected obstructionist clowns have nothing better to do. Actually creating meaningful legislation is a non starter.

"This is just 24 backbenchers trying to impress their constituents."

Most are probably from the CBC, along with Debbie Blabbermouth-Scheiße, and we all know how she worked with Donna Brazile to sabotage Bernie's campaign.

[EnquiringMind]

Don’t get your hopes up.

[Bullish]

Keep this crap up and they will truly regret it in the mid-term election.

[LibWhacker]

Those assholes can pound sand. They’re not going to do anything that can “remove” a president. And if they do, Trump will round them up and bury them alive. And we’ll all be cheering on the sidelines.

They are supposedly following the outline laid out in the 25th amendment.
