10. That's an interesting take on it.

I've thought that they would only impeach him if he started to represent a serious threat to their ability to hold onto their House and Senate majorities, but your formulation seems chillingly more plausible.

If they impeach, they'll claim that they've proven themselves as the mature party willing to put the nation's interests above the interests of their party, and the media will praise them for it endlessly.

But if they remove him under the 25th, then they'll portray themselves as the mature party willing to put the nation's interests first, even at the expense of their president, and the media will praise them for it endlessly.
