Invoke the 25th Amendment before he ends the world. He is afraid to die alone (and of the #Epstein files being released and his criminality, yet again, held up before a world that loathes him) and will bring us all with him.

This is out of hand...
I am worried he will start using nukes as he has gotten away with everything else.
He thinks he is the almighty now.

The 'grown-ups' in the room just need to dig out his 'bigger button than yours' button (remember that?), and let him mash it to his heart's content. Bit like my 2yr-old many years ago with a Fischer-Price toy with the bell on it... 'Ah well, it keeps him happy!'

@CindyWeinstein

@CindyWeinstein correct me if I am wrong but does the 25th need to have support of the VP?

@TheComfortableSpotPodcast

I've been reading about this and like all things seems complicated. Perhaps an expert on the Constitution could weigh in?

@CindyWeinstein

Will #JDVance be any better? The 25th Amendment would have to be invoked by a majority of #Congress, since we know Trump's cabinet is composed of loyal toadies.

But do you really, honestly think THIS #GOP Congress would side with #Democrats to invoke the #25thAmendment

I personally think that the #ACLU, #HumanRightsWatch and other civil rights groups should sue #Congress and #SCOTUS to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

14th Amendment, Section 3
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

It's been well-documented that #Trump is indeed responsible for an #insurrection against the #USA. #politics

@KathyLK

Yes, I agree that Vance is utterly contemptible, spineless, mendacious (pick your adjective) but (and this might be a stretch), I think he is less reckless than Trump.

@KathyLK @CindyWeinstein I think quite a few people misread the mechanism of the 25th amendment. First, it’s about an inability to function as President. As to declaration of inability, Congress is not directly involved. It may designate another group that could make and send a declaration of inability to the Senate President Pro Tem.

I would say on the side that a Congressional majority for 25th amendment suspension would bypass impeachment and conviction.

@KathyLK @CindyWeinstein Also upon a legitimate invocation of the 25th amendment, the Vice President is an acting President. The President, through a declaration that the inability has passed, returns to power, except in case of a restated disagreement by the Cabinet, and then Congress settles that disagreement.
