In the second season of the TV show “24,” President David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) is removed from office for failing to launch a war against three Middle East countries purportedly behind a nuclear attack on U.S. soil.
Palmer has reason to doubt his intelligence agencies’ assurances of who was behind it, and it turns out the attack was orchestrated by a cabal of business and military leaders who want to launch a war for personal gain. The means by which Palmer is removed from office during the 4:00-5:00a hour on Day 2 is the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a portion of which reads:
Section 4. 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… to the Senate and the…House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Palmer’s chief of staff explains, “it seems there are people, cabinet members, who question whether you’re fit to continue as chief executive.” The conniving vice president says in the cabinet meeting putting the president on trial, “What I intend to show is a pattern of erratic behavior since this crisis started.” Using half-true innuendos and rumors as well as deliberately false information, he convinces enough of the cabinet to depose Palmer. In other words, Palmer is the victim of a bloodless coup.

I know many who are all in for this coup and think they are to be harmless in the fight. I think they are the pendulum swing next to be lined up in front of the ditch.
“..I know many who are all in for this coup and think they are to be harmless in the fight....”
The bassturds have absolutely no idea or conception of the level of “shock and awe” that’s to be leveled on their useless commie azzes.
IIt is so laughable that it discredits them below the bottom feeding level where they are. They have no agenda for Americans, They all sit around lying to them selves and think others aren’t laughing at them, The only thing that knocks Trump off the stage is no 100% wall. Everything else is ineffective.
Way ahead of you Mollie.
Every night the liberals go to bed with visions of the 25th Amendment dancing in their eyes. Then they wait up to Trump is President in their eyes. So sad, so sad.
Mecca should have been a glow in the dark microwave oven since 9-12-01.
Yes its been a media coup attempt since day 1.
+1
24 - one of the greatest TV series ever.
Mollie - one of the best DC reporters and round table commentators.
Made for a very enjoyable read. Thanks!
That little cluster of affected academic shrinks needs to be retired to weaving baskets in a serene little group home now.
They’ve skipped the Mental Health claim now, Fakebook is pushing the talking point that he is to have a head to toe physical evaluation and could be “grounds” for being declared “unfit”.
Then there is chatter that he might not release the details of the findings “JUST AS HE WON’T RELEASE HIS TAXES!”.
JFK’s bouts (as president) with STDs and his abuse of painkillers, pot, and LSD weren’t public knowledge while he was president.
AS I recall, Bubba wouldn’t release his medical background.
Ridiculous. If they deposed Trump the same campaign would be used against Pence in seconds.
Right.
And has the public learned of all of Nana Pickles’ ailments?
The Wolffe book is the EPITOME of FAKE NEWS!!!
Exactly!! They would deem Pence crazy because he is never alone with a woman not his wife!! CRAZY TOWN!
Like racism and Russia, more crap with no basis in fact.
