It was interesting to see how it worked in that storyline of that TV series -- but -- I don't think you've ever seen that even attempted in this country -- to force out a President, against his will, much less successful.
Do you know of even one such ... mere "attempt" (and not saying "success" either) to force out the President against his will, using this method?
The amendment hasn’t been around that long. I believe the only use of the amendment has been when Nixon nominated Gerald Ford to be VP after Agnew resigned and on several occasions when the President was undergoing some procedure where he was under anethesia. On those occasions, the President transmitted a statement that he was relinquishing power, and one resuming duties when he came out of surgery. For the Cabinet and the VP to initiate action would be a momentous move, and some would consider it a coup d’etat, but it IS one method available.
