Trump LOSES IT as 25th Amendment DEMANDS MOUNT - Legal AF



More than 80 Democratic lawmaker have called for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump from office, but supporters of that effort now include Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor Greene. It's an almost unthinkable long-shot, requiring buy-in from J.D. Vance, most of Trump's cabinet and two-thirds of both branches of Congress.

The burden is higher than impeachment, but it keeps gaining support. Top political scientist Norm Ornstein, who backed the effort in an essay in The Contrarian titled "Break Glass." explains why he believes the time has come. - 04/12/2026.

Norm Ornstein, Alex Jones, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are just the beginning of it. But I bet they’ll bring more support this cause.

It’s a cause that has the potential to bring most (if not all) of us together. I fear we’re going to reach a point where a majority of us has to decide: him? Or us? Donald? Or America?

The Senate can block it if two thirds of them vote against the removal and it should be limited to a one time shot by SCOTUS for that single four year term of the President. At least then we would have a backup incase of danger break glass option.
