Don't listen to the pundits

Just read it for yourself.

It's not like it's War and Peace, after all.

The 25th Amendment

Section 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.

Ignore all the bullshit pretending to expound what has to be true about the president for him to be "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office", because nothing in the law or the constitution says what that amounts to.

He is unable if he or the VP and a host of others say he is and nobody with the ability to decide otherwise decides otherwise.

But it's not going to happen.

Trump isn't going to declare himself unable, and Mike Pence isn't going to declare him unable, and who the hell are "the principal officers of the executive departments"?

Are they just the heads of each executive department?

So, a majority of Trump's cabinet, then, would have to get on board.

And then it would all but immediately go to the Congress for decision.

Don't be too sure a Democratic congress after this November would actually go through with it.

Or that a Republican controlled Supreme Court would sit quietly by.

It's back in the news.

And somebody is lying.

Maybe several somebodies, out to put Rosenstein in a spot.

New York Times: Rod Rosenstein discussed secretly taping Trump

In the days after FBI Director James Comey's May 2017 firing, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed wearing a "wire" to record conversations with President Donald Trump and recruiting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, The New York Times reported Friday.

. . . .

Rosenstein issued a rare statement himself forcefully denying the Times report.

"The New York Times's story is inaccurate and factually incorrect. I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the Department and are advancing their own personal agenda," Rosenstein said in a statement Friday obtained by CNN. 

"But let me be clear about this: based on my personal dealings with the President, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment."

. . . .

A source who was in the room told CNN that the wire comment was "sarcastic and was never discussed with any intention of recording a conversation with the President." 

The Times, however, citing sources who described his comments, said Rosenstein was serious about the idea and followed up suggesting FBI officials interviewing to be FBI director secretly record Trump.

And sources can be liars, too.

Rosenstein isn't stupid enough for this fake news to be true. 

It's bullshit intended to provide an excuse for Bozo to fire him.

And the Times is the tool of the plotters.
