'Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, seizing on an explosive op-ed from an anonymous administration official, said Thursday that it's time to use constitutional powers to remove President Donald Trump office if top officials don't think he can do the job.
"If senior administration officials think the President of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment," Warren told CNN. "The Constitution provides for a procedure whenever the Vice President and senior officials think the President can't do his job. It does not provide that senior officials go around the President -- take documents off his desk, write anonymous op-eds ... Everyone of these officials have sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. It's time for them to do their job."'
Elizabeth Warren: Time to use 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office - CNNPolitics
Is this the beginning of a trend? Or the end of one?
My hope is DEFINITELY 'beginning'. Though I am not optimistic.
Let Mueller finish his job before people demand he be removed.
If he has committed crimes he needs to be held responsible for his actions.
If he's taken out of office any other way than through the vote of the people, trump will not have to face any consequences from our federal government for his crimes.
pence will pardon him and anyone else involved.
If that happens the only way he can be brought to justice is if it's done on the state level.
The best thing we can do for our nation is to vote. Not just yourself but get everyone you know to vote and get them to get everyone they know to vote and so on. Help people to get to the polls to vote.
We can elect a congress that will put some checks and balances on that man. All it takes is to get everyone to vote. A congress that actually follows the constitution with putting those checks and balances on him will help to keep our nation safe from the worst of his damage until 2020 when we can vote him out of office. Once out of office then he can and should face justice for all if his crimes.
We need to stop with the policy of letting politicians get away with serious crimes. No one is above the law. Especially those in our government and including our president.
