After the 2016 election

Not sure what the Democrats can do about it (referring to your title)

The 25th Amendment is just The Walking Dead version of impeachment. Every 30 days or so Trump could petition to resume the duties of the President. In fact since it requires a 2/3rds vote from the House to affirm the decision for removal, it is harder than impeachment.

Maybe if someone can bait Trump to repeat the accusation????
