Whenever the Vice President and...

"and" means the VP has to be in on it.

Also, or of such other body as Congress may by law provide

What law, maskless fascist? There is no law that you have passed. And there is this little issue about the Senate.

Can't we just arrest this power crazed psychopath for sedition and insurrection?

Exactly: but since the VP would effectively be the leader of the cabal, it’s much more likely — at least in Nan’s mind — that Kamala would use this clause to remove Joe.

It seems pretty clear that the 25th isn’t there so that the President can be overthrown (which is what Nancy wants).

The 25th is there because of Woodrow Wilson — the president is truly incapacitated … what happens next?

Basically, if the VP and the cabinet say the president cannot serve, the president can choose to counteract by writing a letter saying, “I’m fine”.

And, by the way, with a vibrant President (ex. Donald J. Trump) if the cabinet makes a move against him, I would expect the President to seek new cabinet members. Because overthrowing the president isn’t part of our system. If the president is truly incapacitated, the cabinet can do it’s duty without repercussions. But under the situation we are in today, if the cabinet tries to overthrow, there will be payback, and they know it.

And Pence would never join in.

And if the impossible happens — if they move to overthrow, and if they choose to ignore a letter from the President saying “I’m fine”, what follows?

Next move is two-thirds of the House and two-thirds of the Senate can push him out. That would never happen.

This overthrow is sedition at best, treason at worst.
