In ancient Greece, the sons of great playwright Sophocles tried to have him declared incompetent because he spent so much time working on his tragedies and not enough taking care of his estate.
Something similar is happening today, where Donald Trumps opponents want him declared incompetent because they say he concentrates so much on his tweets and doesnt properly take care of his presidential duties.
The mechanism through which they hope to declare him unfit for office is the 25th Amendment. Adopted fifty years ago, the Amendment is a patch for the Constitution, dealing with matters of presidential succession.
In particular, Section 4 allows the Vice President to become Acting President if its determined the President is incapable of discharging his duties. This section is meant to handle situations where the President is injured, or has a stroke, or develops dementia. But some people see it as an escape clause.....

Trump already has out worked other presidents with 133 appointees hamstrung by the Miserable Senate waiting for confirmation! Obama the commie had more people confirmed at this same point in his first term.
Getting so mad!
The scum know this won’t going anywhere. They are just pandering to their base.
There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of this happening.
The VP must go along with it. A majority of a cablinet or committee and then a supermajority of both houses of congress must go along with it.
I'm of the opinion that they don't believe there are enough of us out there who will have the guts to act should they attempt it. Or, they think that there are enough of them (armed liberals, lib-loyal LEO's & military) to prevent any Deplorable actions.
I also believe they have miscalculated wildly.
Unless the military has done a complete 180 since I left, they’re drinking the bong water.
The left has a larger problem on their hands than this melodrama:
Democrats have promised their violent sheep that they can remove Trump one way or another. When is doesn’t happen, the VIOLENT SHEEP are doing to make their party pay the price.
Nobody stopped the Kenyanesian Usurpation.........
More mental masturbation by the democrats and media.
5.56mm
Didn’t Russia’s Communists send their opponents to “mental hospitals”?
Hmmm.....
Is this gambit still MORE proof that the Dems are colluding with Putin to destroy America?
The Ctrl-Left was so deep into their fantasies of ordering normal people to OBEY that they cannot accept America's survival. They are stuck on stage 1 - denial. Stuck on stupid too, but that's another story.
You are absolutely correct, and they have miscalculated badly. I, for one, am already pissed off.
They’re digging their holes deeper and deeper. 2018 won’t be kind to them because they’re proving their insane.
