Former President Donald Trump vowed to change the 25th Amendment to allow for the removal of the vice president if they hide the “incapacity of the president.”
During a Saturday rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, Trump offered a new proposal to modify the 25th Amendment. Trump and his supporters have often attacked Joe Biden by alleging he is mentally unfit to serve as president while claiming Kamala Harris has hid this fact from the public.
The 25th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution is designed to set up a line of succession if the president dies or becomes incapacitated. It allows the vice president to become president if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office by impeachment.
The impeachment process relies on good faith of both parts of Congress. The Senate, controlled by Republicans, at first denied there was evidence, then when presented with obvious evidence decided that they were okay with it and no punishment was needed on a verdict already established (the actual impeachment from the House). It’s like the jurors agreed there was a crime, but the judge said it wasn’t a big deal and let him free.
There was literally a republican senator that said he was convinced of all the charges but that he didn’t think trump should be removed.
Mitt Romney. Had a chance to do the right thing, but followed the party line.
Mitt Romney was literally the only Republican senator who voted to remove Trump for both impeachment trials. Not sure what you’re referring to but all the other Republicans voting party over country are to blame.

Had they impeached Trump after Jan. 6th the. Trump would be ineligible to run for president now and we wouldn’t be in this mess
