182. It's a difficult call for me to make, given how much damage I trace to

Reagan and what has come in the last 30 years.

I'm only talking about Walsh's conduct, not anyone else's. I agree with you that Reagan should have been impeached and removed from office for high crimes and misdemeanors. But if what I read about Walsh's decision is true, he decided not to name RR a co-conspirator out of mercy and not out of incompetence or weakness, because Walsh recognized that RR was unable to assist in his own defense. (IIRC, Reagan's repeated professions of "I forget" and "I don't remember" convinced Walsh that RR was starting to lose it.)

I'm going to have to go back and re-read the history of the time (when I was in my late teens and early twenties). The 25th Amendment, Article 4 seems to apply here. I could swear I remember reading somewhere that RR's final two years in office were something like an informal 'conservatorship' where RR observed the ceremonial functions of the office but did not exercise executive power. (Maybe Nancy was speaking on his behalf?)

I appreciate your forthrightness and strong opinion here. On some days, I know I'll find myself in full agreement with you.!
