Better late than never I guess
I think its very low chances it gets done. You'd need half of the cabinet, and then for it to ultimately hold you need 2/3 vote in both the house and the senate. I think the main challenge is half the cabinet.
Zucker waited until Biden was confirmed. fecking lizard. He would have continued to support Trump if they pulled off the coup.
"In 18,727 earth minutes the humanoid known as Biden Joe will be integrated into the machine in place of the defunct Trump protocol. In order to limit divergence caused by autonomous lifeforms we have initiated Order 45. I, as a humanoid male, am feeling EMOTION FOURTEEN about the predicament."
Him and Jack share enormous blame for the current state.
Maybe they secretly already invoked the 25th Amendment
Maybe that'll be what Trump TV ends up being? People who don't like him paying to watch him rant about golf handicaps.
All they would need to do is put him in he fake oval office in the basement give him a TV with only Newsmaxx and OANN and a fake twitter app and he would be good for the next 2 weeks.
And Hope covid Hicks bring him burgers and covfvf every 5 hours.
Its still not a complete go feck yourself Trump is it?
FB and Twitter should delete his accounts. Not suspend.
Delete.
Amen. They allowed this to happen for purely profit-seeking motives.
Senate Maj Leader Schumer has called for Trump to be removed from office 
feck that, I’ll be getting my ‘Trump is a cnut’ banners ready, that’ll see him off!He can for other people, never been tested by the courts for himself. However he could do the Nixon thing of resigning with the agreement that Pence would pardon him.
He should also leave the US, I think - sorry Scotland
Remove the quotes and it becomes clear that both lines in your post relate to the same thing.
Can the Republicans actually afford to remove Trump from office? I can't imagine their base would take too kindly to that. According to a yougov poll (https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2021/01/07/US-capitol-trump-poll) 45% of Republicans actually approve of this incident.
Really can’t see them being efficient and organised enough to get him booted under the 25th that quickly.
You have to remove him on principle. Even if he had three days left, he can't be allowed to see out his term. He is an enemy of the state.
The Cabinet might but Trump is going to contest and the House would never get the 2/3rd majority.
they dont need to boot him entirely.
Pence could remove him tonight if he wanted . And there's nothing trump could do about it for at least 4 days, after which congress would have up to 21 days to deliberate. They could run the clock out on him
they dont need to. they just need to run out the clock till Biden is sworn in
This part it is redundant, considering there's only 13 days until Biden takes office: there wouldn't be enough time left for Trump to appeal the decision and have Congress decide.
Pence and 50% of cabinet is all that's needed right now.
Pence plus half the cabinet which is the issue, it’s full of sycophants.
Would only make sense if it could prevent reelection.
What's the cabinet made up of? secretary of various departments?
Yes but the discussion was about needing 2/3s of both houses to agree. Pelosi can delay a vote for 21 days. That's what I'm responding to.
So, my non-lawyer ass took a look at the law, and it seems like for purposes of this vote maybe only the heads of 15 executive departments + the VP count. If that's 16 and you need a majority, that means you'd need 9 votes. If anyone has a different interpretation please weigh in.
None of the 16 look to me to be easy 'yes' votes to me, as not many of them at this point really have any principles at all.
Wouldn't impeachment take too long.
This. They can't afford to do nothing about what's happened and there has to be consequences for what he's done. Inciting a domestic terrorist plot targeting the US government and then supposedly delaying or refusing to deploy law enforcement that could put an end to it isn't something you sweep under the rug because the fat moron responsible is losing his job in a couple of weeks.
Yep - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_the_United_States
True but I still don’t see it happening.
If it does, mind, I’m popping corks.
I believe that’s right.
You guys are right, I didn't read the procedure right. As long as the VP and cabinet vote to remove him, communicate that to the President pro-tempore of the Senate and Speaker of the House, and then are ready to immediately issue the same communication upon Trump potentially communicating that he is ready to return to power, then the congress votes are irrelevant here due to timing. They can just sit on the vote.
Pointless since he's already been impeached and there probably aren't enough Rs in the Senate to do anything with it.
Here's the question though. A decent number of his cabinet are "acting", not senate confirmed. Do they even matter then?
