    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.
