The coup plotters aren't very smart (but they do have the - media working with them). Posted: Feb 15th, 2019 - 1:27 pm In Reply to: I don't trust Congress to investigate anyone involved. - They talk with forked tongues. AOC
Invoke the 25th, and all the president has to do is certify that he is not disabled and he is right back in office. That can only be done by 2/3 vote of both houses. The 25th was designed for president being ill. Not as an impeachment shortcut, or a method for the FBI to dispute national policy.
he operative word is "UNABLE" -- as constitutional expert Dershowitz says, the legislative history of the 25th Amendment plus its plain language makes clear that this clause is about some extreme physical/mental incapacity such as Woodrow Wilson's stroke, or potentially a near assassination badly wounding a president, etc.
There is zero constitutional basis for a bunch of Deep State thugs like McCabe et al. to try to rally a group of cabinet officials plus the VP to try to overthrow a constitutionally elected POTUS.
This is total "Banana Republic" stuff and worse.
