25th amendment: Presidential Disability & Succession - Section 4 https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/amendments/amendment-xxv

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.

See, this requires a Congress that's willing to do this...

And Vance scares me more...he's actually smart and doesn't have active dementia. He is probably another narcissist, which makes him easy to manipulate...and that place is jam packed with manipulators. Everyone in this thread has probably worked with a narcissist that's been manipulated by coworkers (or yourself, frankly)

M1 - I think a lot / most people do talk about the conflicts at hand. But it’s only that - talk. The only way that we will know if that has any meaning is in the midterm election. If the balance continues to skew after the election, we deserve what we get unless people put more skin in the game than talking and holding up witty signs.

Nice rage-framing: America what are you on.
Clearly the vast vast majority of the country would not condone the How of our elected chief.
I bet 1/3 at best could maybe be ok with the What.
And nobody freakin knows the Why 🤠

Most people ignorantly blissfully picked a side and have no interest in independent critical thinking or classical
Liberalism either you are team MAGA (very unpopular for elites like Consultants, Coastals, and NYTimes = gospel peeps, though I repeat myself, and the kinds of people who favored the ‘moderate‘ Khomeini regime change back in the day) but to say you were part of the majority this cycle and part of only the ~47% in other cycles would put you in the ‘bad bad bad’ and that part grows the food puts up the infrastructure and has practical knowledge but they’re actually stupid racist and to a man 100% card carrying djt cult of personality rubber stampers with no dissent or nuance.
Or you’re Act Blue and the opposite: enlightened and know what’s best for the all the other ~50% of the country, all the time.
Hogwash.

I have attended a DNC and been to a campus Trump rally. I have voted both ways. My choice won this election. I despise mainstream media on both sides but I read a lot and have an incredible network of close friends who are very partisan on both sides. and we meet often and talk a lot of politics.
My point is this: grow up. Get a brain. Stop vilifying “america” “the left” “the right” and DON’T PANIC (h/t to Douglas Adams).
if you let the news tell you how to feel or think you’ll be miserable, upset, hateful, depr—-o forget it most of you don’t want balance you just want justified tribalism.
I don’t condone the how. I do not know why. Some of the what is ok. And I’m not most of the things the partisan left projects/assumes of me. And neither is the rest of ‘merica
