—a member of the House Judiciary Committee and a constitutional law professor—will have a front-row seat to the rapidly unspooling events of the next week. Raskin, who suffered atragedy in December with the death of his son, and who was on the grounds of the Capitol as it was forcefully occupied by Trump supporters, nevertheless took the time to discuss the intricacies of the 25th Amendment and what a second impeachment of Donald Trump might look like.
Section four is the part that is about a president who for whatever reason—physical or mental—is unable to recognize his or her own inability to successfully discharge the powers and duties of office. So that’s what is coming to focus today, but understand that that’s part of a broader system of rules, which have been activated many times in our history. The other major misconception is that in section four, it requires the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to act.
Yes. None of this happens without the participation of the vice president, and the vice president is the sole exerciser of presidential powers during the period of disability. Now, the president can come forward and say at any point that the disability no longer exists. And at that point the vice president and the body set up by Congress or the cabinet, or both of those entities, could act to overrule the president. At that point Congress would have 21 days within which to act.
In the last few days, we’ve heard words like treason and sedition thrown around. Are they applicable to this situation and the actions of President Trump?
This is a power grab like after 9/11. Patriot act 2 is coming soon.
DO IT !
they should call it, Operation Warp Impeach.

While I'm all for impeaching the bastard, anyone who thinks *that* will put an end to terrorist attacks and traitorous GOP provocations is sadly mistaken.
Ridiculous. Waiting until the 11th hour of the most dangerous four year in this country's history does NOT equate to moving quickly
