Now is the time to use the 25th!

He's proven over and over again he doesn't have the mental capacity to do the job, especially now. How many deaths that he causes before Republicans turn against him? A million. Just think if this had been Ebola , or worse, a war. Republicans failed the country and the American people already once when they had the chance. He's threatening this country on a daily basis, and they are escalating in numbers and more dangerous, while the Republicans are scared to stop him. This was put into law just for this situation , and refusal to use it now is an injustice against the American people. End this nightmare before he makes it a lot worse .

But trump is delusional and mentally unfit, and corrupt. Do you think trump is better than Pence acting out daily like this causing people to suffer, and die because he's mentally unfit? His policies are racist, and corrupt, he can't tell the truth, he says one thing one day then claims the next day he didn't. Pence may have issues with his policies, but he's no where near the national security threat to us and this country as trump has been, or is now, I think.

As he continues spiraling out of control into his delusional state , and more people run away . The Republicans in Congress may turn on him quickly knowing he cannot win, and is dragging them down everywhere too.

Have you read it?

See, the President's cabinet has to invoke it with a majority of the cabinet on board with doing it. What do you think the odds are of the toadies around Trump doing that?

I think it's a good idea to read the actual Amendment before calling for it to be invoked. If you do, you'll see that it's not going to happen.

Please...read the Amendment. Thanks.

Here's a link where you can read that Amendment:
