Think you get better luck with impeachment and conviction.... His staff are way too loyal. Mean if it ever happened that he was 25th that'd be something for history whatever made that even happen and I hope it does not.
Mean pretty much every action he takes is worth removing him, but apparently the US citizens are accepting what is happening for their lifestyle. Yes I know but it's their mess they should have to deal with it.
Whole idea of being a democracy is you don't put your finger on the scale so the say. Not that the US (and others) strictly followed that. But when you got that big penis ... Sorry military that's more an internal matter to figure out. Heh as I f 'that big' really says what their military power is, yeah they're huuuuge.
Course there's the Venezuela operation, get some military to offer him up in exchange for less conflict? Yeah won't happen with their military.
The trick with impeachment is you need more people on board. 50% of the House to impeach and 2/3rds of the Senate to convict.
For the 25th amendment, it starts with Vance, who takes it to the cabinet, and it only take a majority of the cabinet.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/cabinet/
Scott Bessent - Secretary of the Treasury
~~Pam Bondi~~ Todd Blanche - Attorney General (acting)
Doug Burgum - Secretary of the Interior
Lori Chavez-DeRemer - Secretary of Labor
Doug Collins - Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Sean Duffy - Secretary of Transportation
Tulsi Gabbard - Director of National Intelligence
Jamieson Greer - United States Trade Representative
Pete Hegseth - Secretary of War
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. - Secretary of Health and Human Services
Kelly Loeffler - Administrator of the Small Business Administration
Howard Lutnick - Secretary of Commerce
Linda McMahon - Secretary of Education
Markwayne Mullin - Secretary of Homeland Security
John Ratcliffe - Director of the Central Intelligence Agency
Brooke Rollins - Secretary of Agriculture
Marco Rubio - Secretary of State
Scott Turner - Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Russ Vought - Director of the Office of Management and Budget
Chris Wright - Secretary of Energy
Lee Zeldin - Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
So 21 people in the cabinet, 11 votes needed to remove.
So if you eliminate the obviously batshit crazy members of the cabinet:
Tulsi Gabbard - Director of National Intelligence
Pete Hegseth - Secretary of War
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. - Secretary of Health and Human Services
Linda McMahon - Secretary of Education
That still leaves 17 rational voters and you only need 11.
Kelly Loeffler - Administrator of the Small Business Administration
Brooke Rollins - Secretary of Agriculture
Marco Rubio - Secretary of State
I could see these three backing Trump, everyone else is a wild card.
According to Wikipedia you only need a majority of the principal members which narrows it down to 15, basically just the ones with secretary or attorney general in their title. Acting titles can participate as well. Meaning you only need 8 voting yay
