To: Political Junkie Too

It’s still a stunt.

The 25th Amendment is there to remedy physical or mental incapacitation.

This idiot wants to set up a purely political removal process.

HUGE difference.

This moron wants to be able to remove any president by triggering the “Past President’s Clause”, rendering elections worthless.

The word "stunt" wasn't mine, but perhaps I shouldn't have used it.

My point was that this bill still had the imprimatur of the 25th amendment behind it, so it wasn't some far-out whacky idea.

If there were a "whacky" component to it, it would be using prior Presidents as the basis for this other "25th-amendment group." I think a more reasonable group would be an assembly of all 50 governors, or a majority (or super?) vote from all 50 state legislatures. At least this way, the "other such group" would still be accountable to the people.
