The President’s open threat to Iran of what could constitute war crimes has led some to call for his Cabinet or Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment.

    Mark my words, the 25th amendment won’t even be considered until January 20, 2027. After that point, the remainder of the term is a freebie for Vance because he’s still eligible for 2 full terms.

      What you are ignoring us that the new Congress will be in place by then, and as long as the election isn’t ratfucked the Democrats will probably gain a slim House majority. This means not only that the Democratic Speaker will be third in line for the Presidency, but also that the Democratic House (and the Senate)will have to approve whoever Vance picks as his VP. They could just sit on it and not do anything, in which case the VP slot remains vacant, and that House Speaker is now second in line (plus, ties in the Senate can’t be broken, which can be handy if Republicans still hold that.)

      So, they may pull the trigger* early if they don’t think the Congressional election is in the bag

      *= Hey, FBI, that’s only a metaphor…

        Vance is going to need that new, impeachment-ready Congress in place before his coup, or his coup will fail.

      Which is a good thing…

      trump in office being obviously crazy will depress R turnout because their candidates have to say they agree with the crazy shit.

      Dems will have a lot of “free” votes because they just have to point out how bad shit is.

      Vance’s personal pursuit for max power is going to fuck their movement over.

      It’s why we need to start making sure every Fem.politicians values party/country over their own personal.power.
