With 13 days left in President Trump's term, confidants and Republican officials are considering drastic steps to stop him, Jonathan Swan and Margaret Talev report.
The big picture: These measures include censure, impeachment or invoking the 25th Amendment — a move, long dismissed as a liberal fantasy, in which Vice President Pence would step in if Trump were found to be unable to perform his duties.
This talk is coming from current and former White House and GOP Hill aides, and Republican lobbyists and political consultants — all of whom have either embraced him or quietly tolerated him until now.
Senior State Department officials are encouraging 25th Amendment discussions along with other officials at the White House and other departments, according to two sources involved in the discussions.
The state of play: Republicans are furious with the president for what they see as fomenting an attack on American democracy, disgracing their party and invading the sanctity of their chambers on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.

I was just reading that Jim Acosta, CNN, is even claiming that members of Trump’s own cabinet are talking about the 25th amendment.
This is good. When you have blatant BS from CNN, you know it’s all fake news.
Their disdain for their voters is coming to the forefront. They think this is about Trump.
In other words what they’ve tried every year since he came down the elevator
mass resignations supposedly coming....
Trump wasn’t a student of Shakespeare
He staffed his administration carelessly, as if he had no concept of the real and present danger of conspiracy and treason in high places
ET tu, Pence and Pompeo?
Not going to happen. Would take weeks. The President has due process rights if used.
Source, please.
Indeed, it is a sociology. Nothing to do with trump.
Only democrats are allowed to take advantage of unrest, you know. Gop must sit on the sidelines.
They do this, they will see a sht storm for real
The harder they go at Trump the angrier the people will be. Today wasn’t really anything.
The voters must raise up and take the country back from these Politicians
They made their bed, now they don’t want to lay in it.
I wish they tried and saw the sht storm resulting.
Just do it!!!
Time for EO13848
Plenty of paid agitators, on both sides of the aisle, willing to do just that.
Cool Hand Luke about to be put in "the box", after his mother died.
yup- they ain’t seen nothing yet...
You think the d-bags in DC are a bit jealous as they could never get a fraction of traction compared to the showing for Trump today???
Their disdain for their voters is coming to the forefront. They think this is about Trump.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And there will be a large contingent of these protestors in Washington tomorrow.
