Now we know what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s bizarre 25th Amendment comments were really about.
During her Thursday press conference, Pelosi told media to come on back Friday to hear something regarding the constitutional amendment by which a president may be removed from office. Passed in the wake of President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, the 25th spells out what may be lawfully done when a sitting president is deemed no longer fit to serve.
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.
The 25th Amendment to our august Constitution was never intended to be a partisan cudgel. It was intended to bring order out of chaos for a nation reeling from some tragedy.
But welcome to 2020, where literally anything can happen, and it usually does! We’ve nearly had World War III, we have had space aliens a couple of times, and we’ve had a deadly virus sweep the world and we’re all supposed to stay mum about where it came from while we stay locked up and watch our economy crash and burn. Well, mainly in the locked-up Democrat states. Red states that have reopened seem to be bringing more jobs back.
We have other means besides the quite serious and scary mechanisms of the 25th for removing presidents. They’re called “elections,”

Total nonsense, just arrest her for sedition.
I’m so sick of all the fighting! I want my country to move ahead. I pray one day sanity will return to DC after the voters finally get enough to do something about it.
I know and agree. NO VP = DOA. I want this nit wit and others swinging from a gallows!!
In the old days she would be committed and receive the help she needs.
The 18 years that followed merely confirmed my knowledge.
"In Russia, we put insane people in asylum. In America you make them Speaker of House."
Zactly. See my above post.
Imagine a Chinese attack with Pelosi Schumer and Biden in charge?
Why would the Chinese attack? The Democrats will give them everything and more that they ask for (as long as the Chinese keeps sending them their cut).
“Maybe their internal polls are showing Joe Biden is losing the election.”
Maybe their polls say it’s very close.
Cruz is freaking out about the election for some reason.
coup coup Nazi Pelosi
Attack???
Why would the Chinese attack?
The fact they are even discussing this is yet more proof internals are not showing well for Joe. Why waste effort even discussing this if Biden’s so obviously going to win as they like to keep claiming.
So, for the entire 4 years to date following Donald Trump's ELECTION, the opposition has sought endlessly to VOID the VOTER's CHOICE under the ACCEPTED US Constitution LAWS! He has been successfully IMPEACHED by the Democratic Party in the US House BUT NOT CONVICTED NOR REMOVED! [Note the dead silence from the same 'impeachers' when they accuse him of dereliction on Covid-19!] At no point in this time has he been free from legal / quasi-legal attacks. Not even Abraham Lincoln, leading the fight in a Civil War, has been so legally endangered.
Now, a month prior to this year's Presidential Election Day of 3 November, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, #2 in the Succession order, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA12-D), perpetuates this mania with this idiocy. UNREAL!
Trump 2024, they owe it to him!
Watching now.
What a looney b!tch and evil gang these Dems are.
Our provider did an emergency alert test during....lol.
I didn’t take it, from what Sen Cruz said, that he’s freaking out about the closeness of the race.
I took it that he doesn’t put anything past these evil minions in attempting to steal the election.
What NanFreako is doing, right now, with this commission is part of their evil quiver.
Cruz is freaking out about the election for some reason.The reason he said it out loud, true or not, is to get you to the polls.
Wasn’t President Trump offering to do a drug test before the debate? And Didn’t ol’ Joe refuse to do a drug test prior to the debate?
Because she has never done anything of value while in office. Wasting taxpayer dollars is her only specialty.
Exactly!!
NO stimulus, for Americans...but, plenty of time to push non-stop, taxpayer funded attempts to remove POTUS, who has done the MOST for American workers, minorities, etc.
There’s a great Trump ad in there, somewhere :-)
