Recommended Posts

Did Pence send the letter?

The 25th Amendment.....

Section 1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Section 3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, 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.[3]

Being a moron and and asshole isn't the same as being unable to carry out the duties of the office.

He will be gone soon enough in a couple years.

I'd agree with the asshole part,  he's not a moron he plays the media and the partisans of both sides really well,  it's a dangerous game he plays but for a guy who never should have been president and is really in the twilight of his life he doesn't have much to lose.  HIllary proved you can get away with illegal shit with no consequence and when he walks out the door and pardons himself and his family in 2020 even if they try to pierce his self pardon he'll be dead before it ever got through the court system

From day 1 the dems had it set that they would go after impeachment. 

When 8 years is done I hope they look back at all that time wasted......... They'll wish they had spent it looking for a viable candidate.

 

Another stupid post by Mainecat.
