Warren calls for 25th Amendment to be invoked against Trump
What planet is she from? This is some kind of masturbatory fantasy.
First of all, she’s technically correct in that the 25th Amendment specifically covers this issue. As she mentions, if his subordinates feel he can discharge the duties of the Presidency, they should not be subverting him. If they do NOT think so, they should invoke the 25th.
In theory.
But that’s only a theoretical scenario, and has nothing to do with reality. The chances of removing a President this way are infinitesimal when his party controls Congress, because the actual removal process is political, not legal or medical. After various other tests have been met, ultimate removal requires a vote of 2/3 of BOTH houses of Congress. As I’ve noted before, that’s not going to happen unless Trump and Putin jerk each other off live on Fox News and shoot their loads on a picture of Jesus.
Maybe not even then.
It is actually simpler to remove a President by impeachment, which would require a 2/3 conviction vote only in the Senate, plus just a simple majority to file charges in the House.
If Warren wants Blond Elvis to leave the building, her party needs to win big in the mid-terms, and even then they will not have the Senate votes they would need. The Dems can’t force this to happen. Only the GOP can, if they get together as a group and decide they are better off with Pence.
