Elizabeth Warren: Time to use 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office
CNN ^ | Sept. 6, 2018 | Manu Raju

Posted on 09/06/2018 2:25:47 PM PDT by Innovative

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, seizing on an explosive op-ed from an anonymous administration official, said Thursday that it's time to use constitutional powers to remove President Donald Trump office if top officials don't think he can do the job.

"If senior administration officials think the President of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment," Warren told CNN. "The Constitution provides for a procedure whenever the Vice President and senior officials think the President can't do his job. It does not provide that senior officials go around the President -- take documents off his desk, write anonymous op-eds ... Everyone of these officials have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. It's time for them to do their job."

All these woman groups screeching and protesting are making it impossible for a woman to run and actually win. Warrens soon to be in the history books if she even makes it far enough for a footnote.

Most of us are too comfortable for a civil war.

The comfortable ones should prepare for a day soon when "a Federal judge rules when you can breathe in and out"...

Until we can determine the identity of the author of the op-ed in question, this accusation against a sitting President of the United State is no better than unsubstantiated rumor or hearsay.

Are you saying, Lizzie, that the 25th Amendment should be invoked on nothing stronger than rumor or hearsay?

Are you willing to put your career as a law professor behind that advice?

Huh, Lizzie?

Perhaps that is how it's done on the Cherokee reservation, but...

Lord, I pray sir, you are right. I know just about every vet I talk to is fed up with this crap and are willing to get it on if it comes to that.

The ones who wont give their opinions are the ones who say they would sit it out.

My nephew, who is now in the reserves and is a cop in DEETROIT said he and his fellow officers would GTH out of Detroit and let it burn during that period. He is a Marine, FYI.

Trump and John Kelly need to ID this “senior administration official” ASAP...unless they already know who it is and are baiting the NY Times and the Radical Left.

If the Democrats attempt a coup then I hope they enjoy the sound of gunfire at their executions.

Correct. In fact even in times most conducive to desire for civil war your observation would hold bigly. However the few who won’t consider comfort also won’t ask anyone’s leave.

They erroneously believe we will be shooting at soldiers when we will be shooting at liberal politicians.

The 25th amendment handled several issues. Both Woodrow Wilson and FDR were incapacitated presidents. There was no way to end their presidencies even though neither could actually act as president at the end of their terms. Also there was no way to appoint a new Vice President so after Truman became President and after Johnson became President there was no Vice President until the next election.

Also, the 25th amendment allowed a President to go under the knife for a while, giving the VP full powers until he came back to full capability. This was used by Reagan when he was shot. He signed the letter allowing Bush to wield power until he came out of surgery.

But the part about the cabinet voting the President out of office has lots of steps. But the final one has both houses of congress voting 2/3s to relieve the President of his powers. If they don’t do that then he gets his powers back within 21 days unless the President acquiesces.

They don’t understand how serious we are about not letting them rule over us.
