They could have removed him from office and barred him from ever holding political office, but didn't.

They could have told him he wasn't running for POTUS again in 2024, but didn't.

Frankly, if he went out to the Rose Garden in front of cameras, and declared himself Batman, every elected Republican would refer to him as "President Batman" from this point forward rather than invoke the 25th Amendment or have him Baker Acted. Seriously, that's where we are. Unless he dies soon, the U.S. and world are fucked because the adults in the room won't stand up and say "no more", even though it is WAY past time to do so.
