906: Hitler's Playbook

Nicholas Kristof, 250th Amendment, Trump Removal Theory

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof proposed using Section 4 of the 25th Amendment as a "cleaner route" than impeachment to remove Donald Trump from office. The process would require a majority of the cabinet and the Vice President to declare the President unfit, followed by a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress. The feasibility of this "cabinet mutiny" is dismissed as a pipe dream given the loyalty of Trump's hand-picked officials.
