Removal of the president under the 25th Amendment requires a 2/3 majority vote in both the Senate and the House.

That is a tall order. A lot of Democrats would cling to a Biden sinking ship rather than admit the truth.

If that action were to fail, we would have a U.S. president with absolutely no confidence, from anywhere, in his mental condition, who continues as a babbling idiot - president.

The VP is necessary, but insufficient. The VP must be on board, but only a majority of the Cabinet. The AG, being part of the Cabinet, does not have to be on board. Nothing in the Amendment requires the VP to initiate the process, but it does require the VP to be on board.

Any Republican pushing this is doing so to undermine Trump.

Tenney is pro Trump. She's endorsed him, defended him, nominated him for the Noble Peace prize...etc.

Tenney's latest endorsement...

Just to be precise, the 25th Amendment does not provide for “removing” the President. It only provides for the temporary transfer of the powers and duties of the President to the Vice President. Biden could reclaim those powers and duties by simply writing a letter to the Congressional leaders asserting that he is, in fact, able to discharge his office. The VP and Cabinet could disagree again, and the decision would then devolve upon the Congress. But in all cases, Biden would still be President, although, perhaps, in name only.

Well... somebody has to transmit the letter to Congress. It's the transmittal of the letter that formally initiates the process.

It would be a bad look for Harris if she lets a Cabinet member transmit the letter since she's the person who was elected.

I agree. It should come from Harris, although the Amendment doesn’t require it. If she were let the AG do it, then she will have failed in her first duty as Acting President.

Very good point. Perhaps you could post the whole statute and we can do an entire thread on the mechanics.

Dumb for the GOP to pursue the 25th. Let the Democrats deal with the dummy they placed in as President either by removing him themselves, or by explaining to voters this Fall why a walking vegetable should be reelected as President.
