To all you dreamers, it ain't gonna happen. The left wing media can push this idea all they want but Congress doesn't have the balls to do this. They are more unfit than Trump, Bush, Obama or anyone else. They are the ones that need to be removed, not Trump.

Even before Corker’s remarks, some West Wing advisers were worried that Trump’s behavior could cause the Cabinet to take extraordinary Constitutional measures to remove him from office. Several months ago, according to two sources with knowledge of the conversation, former chief strategist Steve Bannon told Trump that the risk to his presidency wasn’t impeachment, but the 25th Amendment—the provision by which a majority of the Cabinet can vote to remove the president. When Bannon mentioned the 25th Amendment, Trump said, “What’s that?” According to a source, Bannon has told people he thinks Trump has only a 30 percent chance of making it the full term.

You honestly believe this sh*t? Who are the eight members of the cabinet that would support his removal?

If the majority of the Cabinet and the VP did it, Congress would sign off in 4 seconds.

If reports are correct that he is going around the WH saying he hates everyone, and it looks like he is unraveling and losing it, and he's incompetent when it comes to nukes, they'll find the votes.

I think the same scare tactics were used during the election.

"Donald Trump isn't mentally competent enough to have nukes under his control!"

This, too, shall pass.

If that becomes the case, they'd better find the votes. He displays mental or emotional instability to a degree anyone should be worried about this president.

IMNSHO, both sides should concentrate on trying to work with him instead of trying to undermine him. Like it or not he is President for a minimum of another 3.5 years. Get stuff done for the good of the country. IDAF, who stands, kneels or sits for a song. I do care about a strong economy, an environment that we work to protect, lower crime, a revamped tax code and a resolution to the insurance issue.

Edit - just realized this thread was about the 25th amendment and not a typical impeachment.

Those scare tactics are proving to be more and more valid.

25th Amendment
The 25th Amendment, proposed by Congress and ratified by the states in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation. The Watergate scandal of the 1970s saw the application of these procedures, first when Gerald Ford replaced Spiro Agnew as vice president, then when he replaced Richard Nixon as president, and then when Nelson Rockefeller filled the resulting vacancy to become the vice president. Read more from the Congressional Research Service here....

Amendment XXV
Section 1.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Section 2.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Section 3.
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

Section 4.
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.


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.

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.

Never happen. Impeachment would happen first, and probably wouldn't fly.

Why would any leftist believe Bannon? I thought he was a right wing, white supremacist nut job?

I'm sure your doctor can prescribe Ambien for the next...3+ years.

7+ if you're real unlucky.

This is one instance where I think Bannon may be correct. Although, I think his 30% estimate is a little high.

If, if, if. All big ifs that can be said about POTUS.

You're probably right. It isn't likely. But we don't know where the bottom is for Trump. His behavior is outside the norm and in many ways getting worse. It's possible this man's grasp on reality could slip away. It may become necessary to remove him.
