Pence and the cabinet need to be held accountable

these are the folks who are empowered to invoke the 25th amendment.

trump is clearly unable and unfit to carry out the duties of president
to me his threatening a law enforcement officer and potential witness
is clear proof!!!

Hence the whole reason they have been allowed to possess such powers...

Legislative branches also hold power to authorize removal from duty under 25...

But the majority of the majority meet the criteria for classification as co-conspirators w/ 45 , VP & his cabinet pals...

And they seem to be accountable only to the 'plan'.


Unless some of these possessors of power finds themselves
backed up against a wall (no pun intended)
under the threat of imminent prosecution
and the severe penalties of law that accompany said prosecution...

it will be tough to change their allegiances.

That means [font size = "+1"]persisting.[/font]
