Valleley is not wrong about this. They need to go. Invoking the 25th ammendment would certainly be in order as I think we can all agree Obama is unfit for office. Its not going to happen but that is what is needed. I don’t know if the country can take three more years of Obama.

I must admit that I had to look up the details on the 25th amendment. Very interesting:

“Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.”

“...unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office...”

and “immediately”, which seems to mean their would be no recourse from the Congress or Supreme Court.

I don’t see this as outside the realm of possibility. It would in effect be a coup. Or as Obama would call it, a ‘coupe’.
