The 25A is actually quite messy. If the VP and the majority of the cabinet agree, then Joe is out, immediately.
But wait. If Joe then sends a letter to Congress saying that he’s indeed fit, Congress must vote. Unless a 2/3 majority in both Houses agree with the VP, Joe is back in.
That 2/3 is a high hurdle. So Joe might well survive a 25A attempt.
I think the Democrats are meeting today, and they are going to get everybody on the “replace Biden” bandwagon this week. They know they have lost the media, and nobody is covering for Biden any longer, it’s just a matter of time before the Bidens stand alone.
