The 25th Amendment Isn’t Coming to Save Us

«The Vice President and a majority of the cabinet send a notice to Congress stating that the President is unable to perform his duties. At that point, the Vice President becomes Acting President.

The President then has the opportunity to dispute this. The Vice President and cabinet must reaffirm their declaration, and Congress must assemble and vote within 21 days. A two-thirds majority in *both* chambers is required to keep the Acting President in place.

By now, everyone has come around to the idea that removing Trump via impeachment is an impossibility. If the Senate wouldn’t convict Trump on his way out of office — right after he sent a mob of his supporters to murder them — it’s hard to fathom a scenario where they’d vote to remove him now.

And the degree of difficulty on the 25th Amendment is much, much higher than traditional impeachment.

It starts with getting J.D. Vance and a majority of Trump’s cabinet to vote for his removal. Look at that roster of sycophants and incompetent lackeys and tell me which one of them would put loyalty to country over loyalty to Trump. I can’t think of a single one, let alone enough to constitute a majority.

Even if somehow that happened, you’d still need two-thirds of both houses to remove him. (For comparison, impeachment only requires a majority in the House and two-thirds of the Senate.)

And let’s say all of those impossible things somehow occur — we still end up with J.D. Vance as President and Mike Johnson as Vice President.

What a win!»
