trump can be removed under many many many different methods at this point.

The problem is that he controls the house and senate and his entire party is terrified of his dying words being a condemnation of whoever stuck their neck out AND avoided getting lynched.

They can't even answer simple questions of fact without pissing their pants. Just look at how they answer when asked if Biden won the 2020 election.... "He... Well... He was certified."

... Fucking cowards

But how? Even the courts are rigged in his favor.

"In yet another shadow docket ruling the SCOTUS voted 6-3 in favor of denying the action of invoking the 25th amendment. The 6 votes were cast stating: It's very very clear that the 25th amendment applies to everyone except Donald Trump."

Just like the 14th.

No one ever voted their way out of fascism.

Still using the system to unrig the system eh.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

What a great way to put it.

you know, when a significant chunk of the population views the president as an actual divine ruler, it might be a bit difficult to get rid of the president in a nonviolent fashion..

zealot lives don't count as casualties iirc

The section in question:

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.

No way Vance agrees to this. Sure, he'd be President, but MAGA outrage would strip him of power. Hell, if Trump dies in office, Vance is going to take the heat for Trump's decisions. Imagine if Vance forced Trump out.

Careful. Vance is younger, more charismatic, and smarter than Trump.

Can you guys get your shit together, please?

[–] arin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Korea did it, we can do better

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

It’s a bit late now.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No.

That would require bipartisanship.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not to mention the cabinet would have to invoke it.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Even after that, he just sends a letter and gets to be President again. And the only way to override that is a 2/3 vote in both houses — which is a higher bar that’s impeachment and removal.

[–] 8H2k2139@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Killing him is the only way out, back to safety.

[–] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

And leave Vance at the helm?
