Oh good grief...a "coup d'etat.."? Go learn some factual history and remove the tinfoil. And BTW, when Nixon had to replace Agnew, the political environment was worse than it is right now.

What's scary is the fact that so many people here are posting so much unmitigated tripe.

Please go back and read what I wrote. Not what you think I wrote. I just said that the 25th amendment makes the government more vulnerable because it requires both houses of congress to replace a VP.

As far as the political environment, people are so polarized that you will probably never see a landslide presidential election again. True red states will always vote for the republican, true blue states will always vote for the dem, and the others will vote somewhere in the middle.
