The 25th Amendment gives a president the power to object in writing to his removal from office under its provisions. When he does that, his powers are immediately restored. The Vice President and the full Cabinet would have four days to overrule the president. Some say the Amendment is unclear as to who would be the president during that time, but since it says the president "is restored to power" the thoughts about it being "unclear" seem to be wishful thinking.
This is where it gets interesting. During this period President Trump could promulgate the information he has on the dirty cops in the FBI and everybody else. He could also appoint Special prosecutors and bargain with the feckless Pence for a pardon in return for dropping the 25th A action. If Pence doesn't go for it because his new BFFs Nancy and Chuck won't allow him to, he sinks deeper into the sewer where he belongs and will be ultimately destroyed by history. That would also force The Court to embarrass itself one more time and seal its fate as the most corrupt court in history. In the meanwhile President Trump rides off to be a hero of the American Spirit and shadow president. The bad guys will exposed - oh they will walk but they will serve as a reminder of the corruption we must keep fighting. How much of this can happen? All of it. How much of this will happen we don't know. The next twelve days will answer that, but we hired a street fighter in 2016 and I have the feeling President Trump has not yet thrown his last punch.
I still say it ain’t over til it’s over. Fight on.
He should absolutely go for it.
Author still thinks there is rule of law. Bust out laughing when I read Trump could appoint special counsel. The courts and our officials abandoned us, he is out of his mind if he thinks anyone will act on Trumps behalf.
Why you waste time in thus crap.
You think well. Plan ahead. Post long term thoughts.
Don’t let media thought blitzkrieg sidetrack you.
We need not react to their sideshow.
Why wouldn’t Trump just expose them now?
25th 46.
If they do anything to Trump, think of what happens when Biden takes office with the nation in upheaval. Biden will do something stupid, and the chain reaction will be more than Slo-Joe can deal with.
Good way to start a Civil War. But, maybe that is what they want.
WHY are these people so afraid of Trump?
If The President has an Ace up his sleeve, I’d say it is time to play it.
There is no downside for anyone in this other than Trump.
You are mis-reading that section of the 25th Amendment. It does not say that he will have his powers immediately restored if he objects in writing. It says: “...he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
Note the words “unless” and “within four days.” If the President objects but the VP and Cabinet immediately transmit their written declaration, rather than waiting any length of time after the objection, then he does not yet get his powers back. The VP remains Acting President, and Congress then gets 21 days to make a final decision on whether the VP gets to continue as Acting President or the President gets his powers back.
Wednesday was weird for us. We despaired - then remembered GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL - AND HE HAS AN INFINITE TOOL KIT TO BLOW OUR MINDS.
Never give up!
Trump says, “go ahead, make my day.”
Threats of harm to him and his family?
or
There is no "there" there. Like "Q", the evidence simply and sadly may not exist.
Great stategy to run out the clock. Do some Kabuki posturing as if its going to happen.
Long term thoughts are becoming obsolete by the hour. Pelosi, Schumer and the RINO's are on a roll, they know they have no time to waste and they are not taking their foot off the throttle.

They’re not doing anything but distract.
Don’t let the hysterics lead you around by the nose.
Get a grip, pal. You have neither the knowledge or experience to make such a recommendation. Sell your B.S. somewhere else.
