The 25th Amendment: could Donald Trump be removed from office before Joe Biden's inauguration?

Trump has been criticised by Republicans and Democrats after yesterday's events Image: Evan Vucci Trump has been criticised by Republicans and Democrats after yesterday's events Image: Evan Vucci THE UNITED STATES is officially in the final throes of Donald Trump’s presidency.

The president’s role in yesterday’s events proved the final straw for some Republicans, who suggested that Trump could be removed from office before Biden’s inauguration in less than two weeks’ time. The amendment was introduced after the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963, when Congress felt it was important to decide upon a plan for presidential succession.

I don’t believe that Trump deserves to be unseated. He can’t be responsible for how some of his followers behaved. The vast majority of his supporters protested peacefully .

If they want a civil war, that’s a great idea.

Give it to Pencey til the end of the season.

Would be great if he was ousted before he signed off on the rest of his pardons.

Would not happen

He needs to be removed to stop him granting mass pardons to anyone involved in what happened at the Capitol.

If they try the 25th Amendment it won’t be to get him out now it would be to stop him from running in 2024...Because if he does he’s gonna win..

You think if he is removed he will go away ?, he is not going quietly
