There is some talk about Pence and the Cabinet removing Trump via the 25th Amendment. That is not a strong enough preventative against another attempted coup in the future.
It was an attempted coup of the United States Government; led and incited by a lame duck President.
Congress was violated, and Congress should exert their authority on the Executive to permanently remove Donald J. Trump from our political landscape, forever.
The 25th Amendment is reserved for Presidents who cannot function. For Trump, this would essentially be allowing an insanity plea after 4 are dead in yesterday’s mayhem. Mayhem he personally encouraged.
The only remedy that will be sufficient to ensure that this never happens again is for Trump to be impeached and removed. There is sufficient political will.
I am calling my Representatives today. This is Congress’ responsibility, not the Cabinet.
