The 25th cannot be invoked by Congress. This is a political stunt.

Americans need a real leader, you need a Canadian President.

Where’s the port of surrender for it?

Well, there IS a way to do an end-run around the Cabinet here. But Congress has to create or designate some other body to make the decision.

The 25th cannot be invoked by Congress. This is a political stunt.

Read the Amendment clause "or another body created by Congress".

And no, it is not just a stunt. It is a Congressman and co-signers presenting publicly available evidence of possible mental unfitness for office. Checks and balance stuff that was also considered for Biden late in his term.

Biden IN HIS PRESENT CONDITION remains more mentally competent than Trump ever was on his best day.

It'll never happen.

 

[Wilson23]

It'll never happen.

It will when Trump's dementia becomes undeniable even by MAGAts.

And that will not be very much longer.

The thing about freedom of speech in the US is that you are free to be as ridiculous as you want with the things that you say. It's very amusing.
Trump doesn't have dementia; it's just another unsubstantiated attack by the left.
It will never happen.

 

[YDB95]

It will never happen.

Probably not, but it could happen if enough Republicans in Congress are persuaded that leaving Trump in power is a bigger liability than removing him. Unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Especially when Trump was involved.

 

[Bray123]

Imagine if President Biden or Obama had chosen to be as ridiculous as they wanted and come close to what the Demented Supreme Leader has done. The MAGATs would not be calling a 25thA an unsubstantiated attack.

Launching wars against other countries and arsing around with taxation rates is not 'freedom of speech'.

Today's blip: A British journalist asked Trump what he thought of the 'Special Relationship'. Trump replied, 'What's that?'

Interesting. I never caught that clause.

"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,"

 

[eric_erosfan]

And you would think even dumbass MAGAcunts would want a stronger leader in there now.

It would still need the Vice President.

This is purely a political stunt.

This is purely a political stunt.

Even if it lacks political support to succeed, stating a legitimate concern of high importance to the Congressional Record demonstrates that at least someone is minding the store.

I applaud Raskin. His statement may be prescient of far more outrageous behaviors. That's been the trend, and more statesmen need to draw the line.

Yes, politically it would benefit.

I don't mind the action, but it's important to understand what it is and what it isn't. When people set expectations higher than reality, the result is frustration.

 

[Wilson23]

Have you not heard him SPEAK recently?!

 

[Wilson23]

It would still need the Vice President.

This is purely a political stunt.

The Vice President is the only person in the relevant room who is MOTIVATED to get it done.

 

[Wilson23]

And you would think even dumbass MAGAcunts would want a stronger leader in there now.

Trump, not Vance, is the one in whom they are emotionally invested. St. Peter is no adequate substitute for Jesus.

Do you drink a lot of cough syrup?

 

[Wilson23]

Do you drink a lot of cough syrup?

You cannot really believe Vance is too loyal to Trump NOT to picture himself behind the Resolute Desk EVERY FUCKING DAY.

 

[CuriousFan1C]

You cannot really believe Vance is too loyal to Trump NOT to picture himself behind the Resolute Desk EVERY FUCKING DAY.

I will take that as a yes.

 

[Wilson23]

I will take that as a yes.

You know I'm right, with or without cough syrup.

 

[CuriousFan1C]

You know I'm right, with or without cough syrup.

Mixing meds with cough syrup can be dangerous; you should really consult your doctor before continuing.
