38. I understand your point that the path is clear for impeachment and removal

... however I believe the 25th Amendment can and should be invoked in this case, where Chump is clearly incapable of finishing out his term. The longer he continues, the greater the danger for all of us.

I'm not happy about the idea of JD Vance becoming President, however I believe he's at least sane. There's no guarantee that he'd win another term in 2028, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. The greater danger to us and the world is allowing Chump to continue in his current state.

JD Vance would have to be on board with this, but Rubio wouldn't be essential to the plan. Let's face it, they're ALL greedy and corrupt as fuck.
