These clowns should actually read the 25th Amendment.

But reading laws has always proven a problem for people in Congress.

Pelosi floated going the Congressional route during President Trump's first term, but it went nowhere.

For people who haven't read the 25th amendment:

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...

Pelosi wanted to introduce legislation that would define this "other body" that would bypass the Cabinet. It would still have to be gate-kept by the Vice President, so it's going nowhere.

But imagine what might happen if Pelosi were able to define such a body, and have it made up of the, say, publishers of the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and the presidents of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and Brown?
