25th Amendment: Do You Understand It?
The 25th Amendment was put into law February 10th, 1967.
It was done for the true purpose of replacing a President if:
In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President
Those are the very words. If you are too stupid to understand them, then you are too stupid.
Here is the full text of the 25th Amendement:
1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
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.
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.
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.
Now. If you aren't dumber than a post, you know McCabe and the DOJ were meeting (at least once) about this little part of the 25th Amendment:
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.
McCabe and our DOJ, were actually looking to overthrow our POTUS via measures of influence upon the VP via the 25th Amendment.
Could you imagine the outcry if this was going on behind the scenes to unseat Barack Obama as our POTUS?
Yet, Dems says it is warranted cause our current POTUS is mentally ill and incapable of being the POTUS. That is the reasoning. (Along with all the other bullshit of Russia, and that crappy Electoral College thing).
The batshit craziness never ends.

The real reason was simple.
She wasn't supposed to lose.

You'll be fine without the link. Most reasonable adults would have realized well before they hit the submit button that something like that wouldn't stay up...

Was it a response to my sarcastic reply to his original post which I also see has been removed?

Man, I wish I could find this little book I read years ago. The story goes Lincoln survives the assassination attempt, Johnson takes over as Prez while Lincoln goes through an extensive rehabilitation period, then Lincoln re assumes the Presidency, being thrown head first into the mess that was Andrew Johnson vs. the United States Congress.
Can't remember who wrote it to save my life. I can't find it anywhere either, and Google isn't bringing it up with some simple searches either.
Maybe I didn't read it. Maybe I imagined it, and now I need to write it.

Sounds like one of Harry Turtledove's alternate-history novels.

If this wasn't a wildly corrupt country aided and abetted by a morally corrupt mainstream media, McCabe, Brennan, Comey, Rosentein, and a lot of FBI agents would probably be awaiting trial for treason (and potentially be facing execution). In fact, as long we were rounding up criminals in government and the intelligence agencies, we should also be rounding up lying scum journalists.

It seems Andy McCabe has thrown down the gauntlet on Brennan, Comey, Rosenstein, Lynch et al. After watching the 60 Min. interview he seemed to dare DOJ to charge him and he would take them all down with him, but I think they must charge him.
All hell will break out as they turn on each other like rabid dogs.
Out it will come. The wait will be well worth it.
