How long before they invoke the 25th amendment?

That debacle yesterday, where the Intel heads testified about the state of global threats to US security, and Trump's subsequent dismissal and personal insults to them was a watershed moment. It certainly scared me! God only knows what they told the committee in a closed session. And now Schmer's letter is a dire warning and a threat to "Do something, or else!"

Surely "25th amendment" is being secretly mentioned and signaled among Republicans. Only that the vast majority of Trump's cabinet are criminal enablers of him. What do you think?

Fucking Trump is dangerous

When they get a veto proof Senate. One by one, Republicans will join together against him. He is ruining their brand forever, and they want to get reelected. Not all money is Russian.

25th Amendment requires 2/3 of both houses of Congress. It's right there in the Amendment's language.

If impeachment is impossible, a 25th Amendment solution is even more impossible. Please read the Amendment and the section of the Constitution on impeachment and removal.

Thanks.
