Sheen is gone. He resigned under the 25th Amendment. And because he has M.S., although they could say he had recovered from this attack and should come back, he really should never return as the same thing could happen again under another stressful crisis. But they left the door open for a totally falacious means of returning him to the show.

OK .. the 25th amendment states that if the VP is vacant then the President has to appoint an new one with the approval of the Congress
25TH AMENDMENT
The Twenty-Fifth Amendment (1967) to the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES provides procedures for fulfilling the duties of the presidency in the event of the removal, death, or resignation of a PRESIDENT; it is also concerned with the prompt filling of a vice-presidential vacancy.
The amendment has four provisions stating that: (1) in the event of removal, death, or resignation of a president, the VICE-PRESIDENT becomes president; (2) in the event of a vacancy in the vice-presidential office, the president nominates a vice-president who must be confirmed by a majority vote in the SENATE and HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES; (3) when a president declares himself or herself unable to serve in office, his or her duties will be taken over by the vice-president as acting president until the President declares himself or herself able to serve again; (4) when the vice-president and either a majority of the heads of the executive departments or a specific congressionally determined body considers a president unable to fulfill his or her duties, the vice-president becomes acting president; when the president then declares that he or she is again able to fulfill the office, he or she resumes those duties unless the vice-president and either a majority of the heads of the executive departments or a specific congressionally determined group declare within 4 days that the president is unfit. At that point CONGRESS is required to assemble to decide the issue within 21 days. A two-thirds vote is required to declare the president unfit, in which case the vice-president continues to be acting president.

Sheen is gone. He resigned under the 25th Amendment.Wait ... RESIGNED? The 25th does not require the president to resign. He simply declares himself unfit to serve, and someone else takes over until he's okay again and redeclares himself president. (Congress can declare him still unfit at that point if they believe him to be so.)

I like the show, dislike Sheen's politics and DO NOT want them on the show. Dislike his attitude and most of the actors/actresses saying things about politics, they are actors/actresses, I could care less about what they think other than their shows/movies. John Goodman, I think, is going to be a real add to the show. *shrug* My thoughts for whatever they are worth.
