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.

Has congress ever created that body?

All it takes, per the amendment, is a letter stating "i'm not unfit anymore", more or less.

A serious impeachment threat within two weeks of the term expiring, just seems pointless at best and possibly catastrophic at worst.

I hate to say it but can anyone sketch me out a timeline? I had limited internet and no people access the last two days. Was sick and off work, just mellowing out at home. I obviously get the full extend of the capitol building attack but

1: What did Trump say to incite the riots/cause talks of the 25th and impeachment? I missed that.
2: Where has he been since the attack? Has he made a speech addressing it?
3: Is it the 20th yet?

They really should just start the Impeachment and force Pence's hand.

Because they could absolutely Impeach Pence if they wanted to as well.

Trying to prevent the president from pardoning more psychopaths is a good thing, especially since it prevents him from running again

I may be mistaken but I think I saw another topic that said congress is on recess until the 19th or something?

Would stop his pardons and the only limit on pardon power is in case of impeachment.

That's why you get the Veep and cabinet to do it the 25th amendment way. Get the gang together in a conference room, declare the president unfit and send that letter to congress, and the USSS is immediately empowered to kick the president out the door.

Starting up the impeachment process is just a "if you're gonna do something stupid, better hurry" signal.

Trump has legitimately become more unhinged with each passing day, and preventing last minute pardons and reelection could be very important. Plus, and perhaps most important, it is a powerful and necessary symbolic rebuke. The move probably won't work, but it not happening at all would suggest that Congress does not have even an ounce of respect for democracy imo.

Well the full incitement obviously goes back to mid-November where he and Giuliani and Trump Jr. and others explicitly said that Trump supporting patriots need to go to war and fight to take the election back. But as far as yesterday's events go it was like:

  • Trump organizes a rally of thousands of Trump supporters in DC. Gives a speech about how Mike Pence and Congress are currently stealing the election and Trump supporters need to fight like hell to stop it. Orders the rally-goers to march toward the Capitol building right now to stop it.
  • Obviously the rally-goers do go to the building as Trump told them to and then storm inside. Capitol police for some reason are completely unprepared. Mike Pence and Congress are evacuated and staffers barricade themselves in offices. Some Trump supporters place pipe bombs around the area and one supporter is shot by police during the break-in.
  • Trump advisors reportedly beg Trump to say something to stop the violence. Trump releases a 1-minute video now deleted by Twitter where he calls them Patriots who are completely right and the election is still stolen, says he loves them all, and tells them they can go home now but they should remember this day.

Don't forget his call where he tried to threaten the Secretary of State of Georgia to change the election outcome less than a week ago. That call is itself hard evidence for impeachment, and the only reason I could think of as to why they didn't pursue it was "he's gone in a couple weeks." Look where that line of thinking got them lmao

The 25th is bad in two ways; it is easily reversible and it doesnt stop Trump from running for president again. Impeachment isnt reversible and punishment can include a lifetime ban on office. He needs to be impeached.

25th is easier to do quickly, which is important since he's a fucking lunatic who could flip out any second. Ideally, you just get him out of office quick, draw up charges for sedition, and get him in front of a firing squad before he can run again.
