The 25A was ratified 61 years ago [1965] and, a good read of the text will reveal that Congress gave itself an opportunity to be one of the options to launch the 25A [other than the President, himself, the VP, or a majority of the Cabinet, all of whom do have that authority by the. 25A], but in the ensuing 61 years, Congress has never bothered to do so. They must pass legislation, or amend the 25A, to give themselves the authority to engage to 25A; they do not have that authority today, and I wonder what they have been waiting for all these years. When didn't Congress want to enhance its authority? Well, this time,

The Republican congress refuses to take a position that opposes Trump even when his executive orders are illegal.

So you are not ruling it out. Typical fence sitter.

Well the American people were split very much down the middle at the last election, so I would suggest that the fence is the most appropriate place to sit.

This time the Democrats will win. Or the country will be in a mess.

Well, I would suggest that it's less about political parties and more about the sensibilities of the population.


Just call it the Not Trump Party.


Hopefully, drooling white supremacist backwoods people and swamp dwellers are actually mostly characters of fiction.

You need a party to win the majority in Congress and senate to be able to pass legislation.
