Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

For what it's worth, successfully removing Trump using the 25th amendment would be much harder than impeaching him and removing him.
Impeachment and removal requires only a majority in the house, then a 2/3rds majority in the senate. That 2/3rds is almost impossible unless there are huge defections from the MAGA side.
The 25th requires first that Vance and the majority of Trump's cabinet declare that he's unfit. That's going to be a massive hurdle already because he's packed his cabinet with people who are loyal above anything else, including competence. If you managed that, all it would take for Trump to resume being president was that he declared he was capable of resuming the job. He'd be tweeting that out within the hour. To override that would require a 2/3rds vote in both the house and the senate. So all the barriers that exist to impeachment and more.
The 25th was designed for a case when the president was dead or dying. It's also handy in cases where the president has to undergo surgery and will be medically sedated for a while. It was never designed to take power away from a madman, at least not from one who was sane enough to resist in any way.
