'Former President Donald Trump on Saturday called for modifying the 25th Amendment to allow for the removal of a vice president who lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president, a political nonstarter and the latest escalation of his attacks on President Joe Biden and the change atop the Democratic ticket.
If you do that with a cover-up of the president of the United States, its grounds for impeachment immediately and removal from office, beause thats what they did, Trump said during a campaign rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin.'

(11,474 posts)JD would be removed covering up Trumps incapacity. Trump would never admit to being "incapacitated"
This is ALL about Biden/Harris.

All he has to do is get his family puppet RNC to pass a new rule,
and he can get rid of Vance now!
We can call it the "doughnut rule"

Plus, your premise is not applicable to this Election.

(1,563 posts)The VP can be impeached for whatever high crime and misdemeanor the House sees fit. Good luck getting 2/3 of the Senate to agree.
So he wants Congress or his cabinet to be able to impeach a VP? Is he scared of JD or something?

(10,611 posts)thought it up all by himself - he's looking for a way to disqualify Harris because she's stealing all the attention from him.
The US Constitution specifies that the vice-president can be impeached by a majority vote of the House and removed by a 2/3 vote of the Senate - and that's not going to happen before November 5.
