slight error in the article. The article suggests that the Congress created group of people replaces the VP and cabinet, but a careful reading of the amendment makes clear it only replaces the cabinet. The VP is always involved in the removal decision. So theoretically if Kamala does not go along with the group whatever the overwhelming vote is, Joe does not get removed. Of course she probably wants to go along.

One of the replies to her:

LOL - the entire article is based on a faulty premise. The language of the 25th Amendment does not say that it’s EITHER “the vice-president and a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments” OR “such other body as Congress may by law provide.”

Instead, it says that it’s (1) the vice-president, and (2) EITHER “a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments” OR “such other body as Congress may by law provide.”

Your faulty understanding of that phrase leads to this complete, utter nonsense: “This commission’s decision does not replace Congress’s final verdict, but rather the Veep’s and cabinet’s letter.” That is simply NOT TRUE - the Vice-President’s participation is a required part of the 25th Amendment process.

If you don’t understand the difference in wording, you shouldn’t be a journalist and try to explain it to everyone else.
