Tuesday

Under the 25th, after the VP and a majority of the cabinet declare him unfit, the President can immediately declare to the Senate Pro Tem and House Speaker that no disability exists. Then the VP and cabinet would have to petition Congress to decide the issue, requiring 2/3 vote of BOTH HOUSES to remove him. The process will get ugly and a Constitutional crisis will ensue. Plus, there is virtually ZERO chance of both houses voting to remove.

None of this has ever been tested.

Furthermore, if Dotard even gets an inkling that the 25th is even being considered, he can simply fire everyone in the cabinet and hire even more sycophants to worship him, thus ending any prospect of removal.

Impeachment or death (however it happens) are the only real hopes for removal.

Meanwhile, as always, Putin is in Moscow sipping champagne while watching the unraveling of America.
