Section 4
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

wanna bet? oh wait, never mind ...
The 25th Amendment? No way that's going to happen. Trump may be incredibly ignorant when it comes to everything else, but he was smart enough to surround himself with and lucky enough that there isn't anyone with the balls or brains to invoke it.
If Trump is removed, as he certainly deserves to be, we get President Vance, a fascist through and through. If they remove Vance we end up with Mike Johnson. No matter how you look at it, it's a total horror show.
You're doomed, at least until November 2026, unless the majority of voters are as ignorant and/or fooled as they were iin 2024.
For the record, Trump did not win a majority of the vote in 2024. He won by a plurality.
Whatever. He didn't lose, which would have had him screaming that the election was rigged and stolen from him.
The liar said yesterday that newspapers are publishing articles about all kinds of fraud being discovered about the 2020 election. Of course, it's not on this planet.
historical revision concerning his past is just important as his future agenda ...
Well, you know what Goebbels said about repeating a lie often enough...
Which proves how stupid Pam Bondi is......
The three of them should take a seat on the next SpaceX Starship endeavor … with Elon.
Trump will never be removed until they carry him out feet first.
Not soon enough.

He will subtract for US, so don't add Vance
The midterms are coming. Ostensibly...
