Former Bush Aide Michael Gerson: ‘Time to Panic’ About POTUS; Explains How Remove Him
Breitbart ^ | 10/15/17 | Rebecca Mansour

Posted on 10/16/2017 9:16:54 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson, a former senior aide to President George W. Bush, used his Friday op-ed to warn establishment Republicans that “the time for panic and decision is upon us.”

Gerson urges Republicans to join Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) in publicly raising two questions: “Is Trump psychologically and morally equipped to be president? And could his unfitness cause permanent damage to the country?”

If the reports are true that the majority of Senate Republicans agree with Corker’s comment that Trump could cause “World War III,” then Gerson exhorts them to publicly act on their convictions.

Though Gerson does not explicitly state how he would like them to act, the Washington Post offers a clue.

At the very end of Gerson’s column, the Post has embedded a video made by one of their staffers titled “How does the 25th amendment work?”

The video’s caption reads: “The 25th Amendment sets forth a procedure for removing a president from office. Here’s how it’s enacted.”

As the video explains, “Section IV of the amendment states that the Vice President and at least 13 of 24 cabinet members must agree to transfer power out of the hands of a sitting president. They would notify Congress and the vice president would take office as the acting president.”

From Gerson’s column in the Washington Post:

[T]he real problem has always been Trump’s fundamental unfitness for high office. It is not Trump’s indiscipline and lack of leadership, which make carrying a legislative agenda forward nearly impossible. It is not his vulgarity and smallness, which have been the equivalent of spray-painting graffiti on the Washington Monument. It is not his nearly complete ignorance of policy and history, which condemns him to live in the eternal present of his own immediate desires.

Removal using the 25th amendment actually requires more congressional votes (2/3 are required in the House), than impeachment.

They have no clue.

And this nonsense about getting the votes to remove. . . they need CAUSE to vote, and not being popular is not CAUSE to initiate a vote.

Time to destroy the Bush dynasty once and for all. They should never be allowed in government again.

Trump’s use of Twitter has been refreshing precisely because of this... we have long needed an unvarnished and unrestrained voice that comes close to echoing freedom and American greatness.

The Left are fighting a "soft" war. Any pushback from us and they retreat, hoping we will cause some violence with which they can use against us.

I wonder if eventually they will tire of trying to goad us and they will pull a radio station attack type of thing on us (see Nazi move into Poland 1939).

“Trump could cause “World War III,” then Gerson [Bush aide]..”

We wouldn’t be in this position today if W had taken on NK when he had the oppty.

NK consistently violated the terms. W knew it. W did nothing about it.

Letting bullies continue to take away your lunch money. Letting bullies continue to call you names.
Letting bullies continue to try to run you off.

Sometimes, it is necessary to smash the bully in the nose.

They usually will start to cry and run away. Like the little snowflakes and babies that they are.

When the civil war starts over this, I hope we put the GOP Progressives against the wall first.

“It is not his lack of leadership... It is not his vulgarity and smallness... It is not his nearly complete ignorance of policy and history...

In other words, it is not the fact that he is, using Gearson’s words, exactly like Obama but that he is psychologically and MORALLY unfit. Gears I cannot even justify his diatribe on psychology alone but must add morality as well. Now that Islamophobia is about to be declared a psychosis and being against abortion is a moral failing just whose morals and psychology will be used to decide on fitness?

Not that it matters. The left cannot have Pence as pres. Until there is a path that takes out Pence as well POTUS is secure.
