I can imagine that too. That’s why I suggest it be removed.

I agree with the process you describe.

Democrats use the law to do the most dastardly things.

You can’t/shouldn’t leave them an opening.

This is debatable, so I’m not opposed to alternate views.

I understand your take on it.

To: DoughtyOne
The only other thing I might recommend is for Republicans to pass a "pre-emptive strike" bill during Trump's administration to define a 25th Amendment "other such body" now, so that future Congresses would need to repeal that law and replace it with another one, taking all the political heat that would go along with doing that.

Then Republicans can create a body that would have such a high bar as to be effectively non-useful. That's why I suggested a conference of all 50 governors, or resolutions from all 50 state legislatures. On the surface, those bodies seem reasonable and representative of the people (small "r" republican). In practicality, it would be very hard to get such a body to succumb to partisan antics to remove a President that 270 electoral votes had recently put in place.
