Forum Post: 25 time

Will the Republicans come to their senses in time to save their party from further humilation by the orange clown in the white house? It's hard to believe anyone still defends Trump. The SNL Weekend Update (10/12/19) was more honest in their approach to the issue of Trump's criminality than the Sunday morning news shows that still pretend there are two sides to the issue and are complicit in deploying repugnicant "weapons of mass distraction."

But even if almost half of Americans are still [or at least pretend to be] bigger morons than Trump, the majority of us are or have been awakened to right wing perfidy. Greater than that of his clownish crimes is the evidence of his mental instability. It's time for the VP and cabinet to come alive and invoke the 25th. I refuse to accept the possibilty that more than 30% of the US population is so brain dead as to continue to embrace the insanity that has its death grip on America.

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...."
