The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

25th Amendment time.

Please stop saying this. Putting it out there gives people hope that it might happen, and it will never happen.

You need to get both the Vice President AND a majority of the cabinet to agree. The cabinet part is tricky, because they will all lose their jobs, while the VP gets a promotion, so that’s a non-starter.

If the President objects, as he surely will, then you have to get 2/3 of BOTH HOUSES to agree, otherwise the President is still President, and he is instantly at war with both his VP and the cabinet, who (I repeat myself) will instantly lose their jobs. (The VP won’t, but he will be cut out of anything, everything.)

The 25th Amendment, actually all of them, are written for honest people in a fair-minded government. We are nowhere near that situation. We are not on the same planet as that situation. Maybe not the same solar system.
