it takes the vice president and majority of the cabinet to decide it. Not sure if congress has to then vote on it ?

7. Get screaming at Cabinet members and make it Issue #1

They should threaten to shut everything down if they don't remove him. If things get loud/bad enough they could force the issue.

Then the VP and a few Cabinet members would have no choice. I'd be willing to bet the letter has already been drafted and Pence prays to it at night before he goes to bed.

If Trump is talking 'fire & fury' don't you think they should be involved in any decisions? Did the deplorables vote Trump in to potentially start a nuclear war? Don't you think we the people should have a say in this?

Or maybe as Response #1 in this thread is suggesting - using the 25th Amendment.

Otherwise, stay away. You've already done enough harm.

to one up the UN, which acted with an an amazing show of togetherness, and it was pretty amazing. If you do, there are consequences. To increase the chances of nuclear war is a MAJOR thing. They need to rein him in. If it ruins their vacations, well, he's their little boy, and they need to be responsible parents.
