He commits sedition against the legislative branch of the government. Trump is the executive branch. Are you sure you went to those classes?

No...it needs to be done for a variety of reasons like having the nuclear football in trusted hands, continuity of government, having a Commander-in-Chief that can be trusted to make decisions in the event of a threat.

Trump essentially committed among other crimes like sedition, domestic terrorism by encouraging his followers to do something yesterday. This is not forgiveable.

I can it pray Mr. Pence does what is necessary.

"Sedition" is advocating the overthrow of the government.

Trump is literally the head of the government.

How could he commit "sedition" against himself?

Jeebus, do they teach civics in school anymore?

Almost 30 years as a lawyer, including practicing constitutional law, and teaching at a major law school.

Pretty sure I got the concept.

So from a purely legal standpoint what good would going after a 25A removal this close to a political turn over do?

Does it prevent Trump from running in 2024, or is there some kind of little talked about stipulation with the 25A that is being overlooked?

If I could read the minds of men ...

Anyhoo, the only "purely legal" reason to remove the President using the 25th Amendment is if "he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office". That's legally what the 25th requires for removal. There's no trick bags in there.

Of course, the powers and duties of President are detailed in the Constitution, Article I sections 2 and 3.

Here, read em' for yourself:

The only reason they would do this is to stop President Trump from releasing "some things over the next 2 weeks that will shock you", said the President in Georgia on Monday night.

Always tomorrow, never today.

I think this is more journalist wet dreams and posturing.

"What if Trump won't leave"?
"What if Trump barricades himself in his office?"

That reminds me.

Where did he go last night after he stirred up the crowd, promising to lead them to the Capitol?

SS probably nixed that. They've done it before. Trump probably thought about it and decided not to put the SS in that position and headed back to the WH.

Even better: where's he been all day?

Not even a "thoughts and prayers" for the dead people?

Something's up.

Yeah, I know what the 25A is all about, but why use that to remove him this close to leaving office? It's almost like their grab bag of tricky buzz words have a limited amount of items to chose from. I thought maybe that there was some kind of loop-hole that could be used to prevent Trump from fighting back or running for re-election in 2024.

Strange thought: At this point, if Trump is able to retain his position in office, then does he meet all the requirements to run for a third term? I mean at this point we can all agree that he didn't win a second term, so if he was able to legally prevent Biden from taking office and was allowed to stay in office, then would a third term be possible?

Could all these theatrics be about being in office for three terms? Something to think about.

LMAO. Yeah, the shining beacon of other peoples welfare that he is, just couldn't bring himself to put them in that position.
