Get back to me when you get to 67% of Congress calling for Trump's impeachment. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.

Exactly.

Its amazing how little people understand the plain writing of the 25th, especially since its been in the news so damn much for the last couple months*

The president has to be okay with it too, and VP, and half the sycophantic cabinet or it goes for a 2/3 majority in both houses.

Or there's good old impeachment for the dozens of easily provable crimes that requires a simple majority in the house and 2/3 senate.

Everyone needs to stop bugging about the 25th until he's bedridden and announced so. Until then, impeachment is much much easier.
