Elizabeth Warren: Time to use 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office
CNN ^ | Sept. 6, 2018 | Manu Raju

Posted on 09/06/2018 2:25:47 PM PDT by Innovative

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, seizing on an explosive op-ed from an anonymous administration official, said Thursday that it's time to use constitutional powers to remove President Donald Trump office if top officials don't think he can do the job.

"If senior administration officials think the President of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment," Warren told CNN. "The Constitution provides for a procedure whenever the Vice President and senior officials think the President can't do his job. It does not provide that senior officials go around the President -- take documents off his desk, write anonymous op-eds ... Everyone of these officials have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. It's time for them to do their job."

This 25th Amendment crap is just a sign that whoever is calling for it is mentally deficient, since it is actually harder to accomplish than impeachment, and the President himself can easily stop it if the process ever started. It is not some alternative method to impeach a President.

So an anonymous op-ed piece are grounds for invoking the 25th amendment ?

What is she smoking in her peace pipe ?

It doesn’t matter any way. Even if the process somehow started, the President could just send them a letter saying he is fine and the whole thing is done.

This is really impressive to watch.

The Democrats make up stuff for a fake investigation, make up fake claims of incompetency, scream, yell, act like children, oppose everything, bark at the Moon, and act in the most divisive manner I’ve ever seen in the USA.

Then they claim Trump is divisive.

It’s an effort that would make Goebbels proud, and I’m not stretching by using the Nazi reference.

They are literally telling giant lies, often, and loudly, and useful idiots believe them.

I’m not surprised. I think the Woodward book, the op-ed, and the chatter by the left about the 25th was the lead-up to this. It’s their go-to strategy when Stormy/Russia/Putin/ and on and on doesn’t bring results.

“Section 4. 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”

Requires the Vice President AND a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments, i.e cabinet members. NOT “Senior Administration Personnel” whatever that means. It is also possible that congress can appoint a panel, but that STILL requires the Vice President to agree. not going to happen while Hell is above 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Anybody who thinks VP Mike Pence will go along with this nonsense has been smoking something recently legalized in DC.
