  • Per the 25th:

    Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue [of the presidents inability to govern] … determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

    It’s easier to impeach him rather then hit him with the 25th, impeachment doesn’t take his cabinet and 2/3 of the House and Senate to do it. It just takes a majority of the house and 2/3 of the Senate. Considering that didn’t work the previous couple times, I doubt something that adds an extra layer along with a more difficult vote would either.

    Maybe one could argue something like “They’re waiting until after the two year mark so Vance can get the benefits of being the incumbent while also getting two terms” but c’mon, Vance is a charisma black hole. No shot that’s the plan. IMO until the outcry drops his approval to like, sub 20, R’s aren’t going anywhere near getting rid of Trump, and even then I have my doubts.
