Gerson urges Republicans to join Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) in publicly raising two questions: “Is Trump psychologically and morally equipped to be president? And could his unfitness cause permanent damage to the country?”
If the reports are true that the majority of Senate Republicans agree with Corker’s comment that Trump could cause “World War III,” then Gerson exhorts them to publicly act on their convictions.
Though Gerson does not explicitly state how he would like them to act, the Washington Post offers a clue.
At the very end of Gerson’s column, the Post has embedded a video made by one of their staffers titled “How does the 25th amendment work?”
The video’s caption reads: “The 25th Amendment sets forth a procedure for removing a president from office. Here’s how it’s enacted.”
As the video explains, “Section IV of the amendment states that the Vice President and at least 13 of 24 cabinet members must agree to transfer power out of the hands of a sitting president. They would notify Congress and the vice president would take office as the acting president.”
From Gerson’s column in the Washington Post:
[T]he real problem has always been Trump’s fundamental unfitness for high office. It is not Trump’s indiscipline and lack of leadership, which make carrying a legislative agenda forward nearly impossible. It is not his vulgarity and smallness, which have been the equivalent of spray-painting graffiti on the Washington Monument. It is not his nearly complete ignorance of policy and history, which condemns him to live in the eternal present of his own immediate desires.

One thing it would do IS OUT THE SWAMP CREATURES who are making up these lies.
Trump hates criticism. Hated it long ago. It’s all psy-ops against him and at the same time getting the flock of sheep all riled up. Actually, isn’t this one of the rules of Alinsky?
Isn’t there anyone besides Bannon fighting this kind of crap?
War with NK is about an even money bet. the MSM have not covered the verbiage from both defense and state that about say this. US vital interests are involved, this time. When the bombs and missiles start tsling thr Norks apart there will be a large scale effort to drive Trump from office. This will be unlike anything i. prior US history.
As the video explains, “Section IV of the amendment states that the Vice President and at least 13 of 24 cabinet members must agree to transfer power out of the hands of a sitting president. They would notify Congress and the vice president would take office as the acting president.”
The video misleads people as to the 25th amendment. Even if the cabinet did that, Trump could just send a letter to Congress and nullify it. If the cabinet persisted, Congress could only remove Trump with a 2/3 vote of both houses, so it is functionally no easier than impeachment. If they can’t get the votes to impeach Trump, then they can’t get the votes to remove him with the 25th amendment either, so this is a pipe dream.
Gerson, along with Corker and the rest of them, expose themselves daily. May the Good Lord deal with them all in His unique way.
Every time I see an article like this, it’s almost as if they’re trying to rile up the crazies.
