Yup, I'm going to go there. I'm going to use the "I" word.

First lemme start by congratulating you for coming out of your coma, while you were asleep the rules of the game changed and it is now vogue to use/abuse the law when going after ones opponents [it's all the rage in europe as well, see LePen, german AFD party]...Why doesn't the following "hypothetical" situation warrant impeachment?

...the lead up to the 2024 election was nothing short of what is now called "LAWFARE" with folks running for political office campaigning on the use of the law to go after someone...
...when practiced by one side it has become known by journalists in the peon school of journalism as "acceptable behavior" for those introducing it as 'precedent', and "retaliation" for those who choose to even up the score when citing it as precedent.
Not really tricky, you'll be on board with it when the pendulum swings back in the other direction.

You didn't include "also, we shot the hypothetical president in the head, and then tried to do it again 2 weeks later" in your scenario.
Try that and let's see what happens...

you are designed to water down the people's faith in their nation. The Impeachment push is just one of the many tools of that agenda. If there ever was going to be the invoking of the 25th amendment, Joe would have been removed. If Progs took the House in 2026, they would of course do the impeachment game again. Wasting their time and yet watering down citizens faith in government.

“Why doesn't the following "hypothetical" situation warrant impeachment?”
It does – it warrants impeachment, conviction in the Senate, and removal from office – followed by criminal prosecution.
But Republicans are cowards and blind partisan hacks.
In fact, they’re as bad as Trump – just as criminal, just as dishonest, just as much enemies of democracy and the Constitution.

You answered your own question. Your scenario isn't representative of any reality and is thus invalid.

Sure they are, because you didn't factor in that the hypothetical president was shot in the head by the people he's now going after.
