    25th Amendment is a fantasy, it ain’t happening. It requires the VP and half the cabinet, then to override it all the president has to do is write a letter to Congress saying they’re fit to serve.

    If the VP pushes back on this letter, then it requires a 2/3 vote in both chambers to remove the president.

      Yep, impeachment is a (slightly) more viable strategy, but impossible without major Dem gains in the midterms. Like I’m not even sure there are enough Senate seats up for reelection.

        There are EXACTLY enough Senate seats in play. But Dems need every last one.

        But then there’s Fetterman…
