They better do it, Grump have destroyed Republicunts image so severely. Like, they were always conservative but never actually anarchists and extreme. Grump have unleashed the worst in some of the party followers

That is NOT what anarchism means.

taking measures now could also possibly prevent him running in 2024

That's the most important part. I don't know if removing him when he's only got 14 days left will change anything but he needs to be prevented from running again, because he might actually win.

i do agree. moderate republicans are bearable, and sometimes even agreeable, but trump has made the party look like a reactionary semi-fascist mess

a republican party without trump and with mccarthy and pence would be a lot more reassuring and comforting than one with him. just listening to mccarthy speak makes me remember how rational the republican party actually is, when it isn't being tainted with racism and fascism. i'm still as leftist as you can be, but it's certainly more reassuring to have a republican party with their head screwed on right.

Yeah they're still a pain in the ass, covertly racist and obstructing pieces of sh*t, but they're better than whatever they're now.

i mean. with trumpism they're plain idiotic. foolish and careless. at least a non-trump gop is logical and actually shows some hints of intelligence and decent statesmanship.

realistically, how long would it take to invoke the 25th?

"Section 4 is the only part of the Amendment that has never been used. It allows other executive officials to declare the President unable to do his job. The Vice President must agree to do this. So must:

1. A majority of "the principal officers of the executive departments" (the United States Cabinet), OR

2. "Such other body as Congress may by law provide" (some other group that Congress chooses)

To declare the President unable to do his job, these people would have to sign and give a letter to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. As with Section 3, the Vice President would then become the Acting President.

The President may take back the Presidency by sending a letter to the President pro tempore and the Speaker of the House. However, if the Vice President and the Cabinet think the President is still disabled and still cannot do his job, they can challenge his return. They have four days to write another declaration saying the President is still unable to do his job. The Vice President is still Acting President during these four days. Congress then has to get together within 48 hours, if they are not already in session. Then Congress has 21 days to make a decision. In the meantime, the Vice President is still Acting President.

If two-thirds of each House of Congress votes that the President still cannot do his job, the Vice President would continue to be Acting President. If Congress does not vote this way, or if they do not vote at all within 21 days, the President takes over the Presidency again."

So they could technically do it overnight if they wanted to, at least the first part. Then they'd wait for Trump's response.

Or he's going to have Pence pardon him once he's removed from office.....:awkney:

They are not on good terms now. Pence even unfollowed him on official social media accounts.

 I just checked and Pence is following him on Twitter, did he unfollow somewhere else?
