We may as well agree to disagree because I pretty much completely am on the opposite universe to everything you suggest.
Your proposals come down to ‘hide in a corner and pray’. Mine are enact the 25th as it was intended. Granted, it came after GW. That was hyperbolie. but it is in fact the constitutional remedy and any argument against it is simply an argument to do nothing.
He is unable/unwilling to discharge his duty. 100% Fact.
The Constitution gives us A25 as a direct remedy. 100% Fact.
We have a constitutional solution for the exact issue at hand. Oppose it or don’t. your call.
“Your proposals come down to ‘hide in a corner and pray’.”
No, quite the opposite. My proposals are do everything that is actually possible to hinder Obama and the Democrats until we can win the next election, and the one after that.
“Mine are enact the 25th as it was intended.”
No, yours are to try to twist the 25th to be a secondary route to impeachment, for which it was never intended, and in fact, nobody will ever use it the way that you propose.
“any argument against it is simply an argument to do nothing.”
No, that’s total nonsense. It’s not “your way or the highway”, except in your own mind.
“He is unable/unwilling to discharge his duty. 100% Fact.
The Constitution gives us A25 as a direct remedy. 100% Fact.”
The 25th Amendment was made to govern the succession when a President is medically incapable of fulfilling the duties (that’s why it was passed after Kennedy’s assassination, because people realized that he might have been kept alive medically but still would have been braindead). It has nothing to do with the President not fulfilling his duties the way that Norm Lenhart thinks he should. Your 100% fact, the way you apply it, becomes 100% fantasy.
I just noticed another thing in Amendment 25 that makes your proposal absolutely impossible. If the President sends a letter to Congress saying no inability to serve exits, it takes a vote of 2/3s of both houses of Congress to override it.
So, if impeachment is impossible (and it is), your route is even more impossible!
