OP
Personally, I think he already is. There is no requirement that Pence has to tell others

Section 4 of the 25th does not necessarily require the cabinet heads to be invoked

No that would require the traitorous nitwits in his cabinet to do the right thing

yet that he is the PINO now, instead of trump...imho, based upon Pence calling out the NG, not trump...
Or that trump has resigned? IMHO too, as a option that we don't know about yet...

Won't happen, unfortunately.

(12,165 posts)10. Section 4 of the 25th does not necessarily require the cabinet heads to be invoked
The text:
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.
The key word is or. I dont know who such other body could be, but it sounds like it is a rather broad clause.

(7,638 posts)8. For me the Twitter lock is the biggest clue on this.
I just have a feeling that Twitter was contacted by people and told to lock it. I think we're going to get a double feature tonight, certification and 25th. Just a gut feeling and considering no one in the cabinet is coordinating with Mad King Poopy Pants.
Back room deal under fire maybe.

which they are incapable of doing.
