He needs to be impeached, not 25A'd.

[EndlessWire]

To remove him by 25A is iffy. And what will it get you? 25A will be forgotten in a week after he is removed. He plays golf for two years, and then returns.

Impeach his ass. This denies him the defense of "I didn't do anything, I was mentally ill." And, we can keep him from ever holding office again. This is an issue that will come back to haunt us. Start the impeachment process now.

I don't trust any of these Repubs. Whatever they are doing post insurrection is all show. They as a party still put Party Over Country. Nothing less than an impeached and convicted President will impress them. Now is the time, when they are posturing to appear as Patriots amidst the chaos they created, to impeach Trump. This riot is just another part of the crimes he committed. His blackmail over GA votes is enough to impeach him.

1. Both nt

[EndlessWire]

3. Yes, that would work, too. n/t

[still_one]

2. Can it be implemented quickly enough?

[tinrobot]

5. If they want, they could do it in a day.

[EndlessWire]

6. Yes.

He can be impeached after he is out.

[still_one]

15. Really. Isn't the purpose of impeachment to try and remove him from office, and if he is out of

office what would impeachment do

[EndlessWire]

22. Two purposes

To remove him, and to prevent him from EVER holding any kind of public office. "Late impeachment" would be used for the second purpose.

Trump has indicated that he wants to run again in 2024. Do we want to go through this again?

[still_one]

23. Thanks

[bluestarone]

4. I'm for impeachment also PLUS

A second vote to NOT ALLOW him to ever run again!

[EndlessWire]

7. I agree. n/t

[scarletwoman]

8. Impeachment means nothing without a conviction by the Senate.

This is an emergency, we need trump neutralized immediately so he can't cause any more damage.

If, as you say, you don't trust "these repubs", why would you think the repub Senate would vote to convict?

[EndlessWire]

10. I think we have a shot because

they are jumping ship right now. And, we hold the Senate.

[scarletwoman]

14. We don't hold the Senate until Ossof and Warnock are sworn in, it's still a repub Senate until

January 20.

[EndlessWire]

20. Not a problem.

Perdue is out of office. His run was over on January 3rd.

An impeachment would probably not be completed until after the 20th. We have won the Senate.

[zooks]

11. I don't think that particular hyperbole is a great idea

Advocating violence even in jest isn't the best idea.

[BlueIdaho]

13. You are correct - but

If it gets pulled down - I can live with that.

[NYC Liberal]

12. Both. 25th allows immediate removal now. Impeachment/trial

would realistically take a few days and can be done while he’s “suspended” via the 25th.

[scarletwoman]

16. He can be impeached even after he's out of office in order to prevent him

from ever holding office again.

[NYC Liberal]

19. You can't impeach a private citizen.

If Trump is out of office he’s literally no different than you or me.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is what you’re looking for:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

[EndlessWire]

21. Yes, you can impeach him for what he did while in office. n/t.

[Hortensis]

17. And if the 25th were reversed on appeal, which could be likely,

his term would have run by then while removal proceeded in future. I oppose misuse of the 25th, but he is demonstrably dangerous and mental examination should be required.

[EndlessWire]

18. That works for me!

Haul him off now! Before he starts a war with Iran. Or invokes martial law. But he also needs to be impeached.

Some Repub has figured out that 25A is softer and less against Trump than an impeachment. That way, they preserve their options. I want to end Trump's run. Permanently.
