| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77834885 United States01/09/2021 09:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Invoking the 25th is no simple task. Section 4 of the 25th — which has never been invoked — lays out the process. It starts with the veep and the Cabinet. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. Mike Pence and a majority of the Cabinet would have to give a written declaration to the Senate president pro tempore (Chuck Grassley until January 20) and the speaker of the House that the toddler-in-chief "is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." That would make Pence the acting president. So first, Pence would need to get most of Trump's Cabinet to declare that he's unfit for office. While this is clearly true, getting Trump's hand-picked bootlickers to agree is no easy task. And the people who are trying to save face after yesterday's fucking disaster have already started to resign. But it doesn't stop there. Trump would have 4 days to challenge Pence & co. and say he IS able to perform his duties. Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. And then the issue would go to Congress, where both the House and Senate would have to get a supermajority to keep Trump away from the nuclear codes. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office. This is incredibly unlikely to happen in Mitch McConnell's Senate, but it seems downright impossible in the House, which is full of far too many dangerous idiots who voted for sedition, EVEN AFTER the fucking stupidcoup terrorist attack. |

| Lily o' the Valley User ID: 75944363 United States01/09/2021 10:17 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | President Donald Trump has refused bipartisan demands that he immediately resign following the fatal insurrection by his supporters at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77963421 The president is expected to be impeached for the second time next week, but Republicans may take action to immediately hold him accountable. "Vice President Mike Pence has not ruled out an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment and wants to preserve the option in case President Donald Trump becomes more unstable, a source close to the vice president says. The source said there is some concern inside Pence's team that there are risks to invoking the 25th Amendment or even to an impeachment process, as Trump could take some sort of rash action putting the nation at risk," "For now, the source said Pence and his advisers hope to provide a bridge to the next administration and do as much as possible to assist President-elect Joe Biden's team in preparing for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. But, the source cautioned, it has become clear this week that it is necessary to keep the 25th Amendment option on the table based on Trump's actions." Pence has confirmed he will attend Biden's inauguration on January 20th. Trump tweeted he will skip the ceremony shortly before his account was permanently suspended.

What they need to face up to is the fact that the Fraud President of the United States is not going to be welcome in 2/3rds of the United States for a long freaking time. Joe Biden will be unable to appear in public. Attacking Trump is just going to exacerbate that. |

Their problem is they can't get the cabinet support. Rather than support it, cabinet secretaries are quitting. Those remaining won't go for it. Therefore, sneaky lying Pence pretends to "take the high road" and says he won't go for it. They'd much rather do the 25th than expose the Senate to more humiliation trying an obviously corrupt impeachment.
