[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]nah,  Obama may have been Kenyan (lol) but he wasn't a crazy idiot.  Trump needs to go. [/quote]

You can try and remove him in 2020 and if that does not work, you don't have to worry about having to run against him in 2024.[/quote]
I have a great suggestion for a New Year's Resolution for you: be an American this year. Try it. He commit treason. He has dementia. He's laundered money. He's threatening nuclear war, just cause. Be an American and not just a stupid Republican.[/quote]

I am a liberal ..... but I am not an irrational, hysterical liberal. I am realistic and am pretty sure he is going to be around until 2020 and unless we offer a viable candidate in 2020 there is a distinct possibility that we'll end up with Trump until 2024.[/quote]
You may be a liberal, but you're kind of a jerk. I'm not irrational or hysterical. He cheated to "win." With Russia. He literally has dementia. If neither of those things gives you small pause, re-evaluate your beliefs.[/quote]

You are an idiot. You are not going to get him out of office before 2020. You can go on ranting about Putin and Russia and dementia and other crap. Wishful thinking will not get Trump removed.

There is a thing called the Constitution and there are two ways to remove him from office: impeachment and the 25th Amendment. You can impeach him if the Democrats take control of the House but you need 67 votes in the senate to remove him from office and that is not going to happen.

To use the 25th Amendment there are whole bunch of hurdles to overcome - read about it rather than spewing nonsense. It is a high hurdle to meet - and rightly so because the intention was to allow it to happen in only rare instances.

In fact, here it is for you:

[i]Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble,[b] determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses[/b] that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office[/i]
