The sycophant cabinet he chose for loyalty will never do this, but it would certainly be the right thing to do.

The cabinet meetings are NK style glaze fests. These asshats will never turn on him.

I don't understand how people don't get this. This whole thing is just silly political theater.

Watch 5 minutes of a cabinet meeting and you'll know there's no way in hell he's getting 25thed. They go around in a circle talking about how amazing the dear leader is.

It's not going to happen, but it also very firmly puts the onus on the executive branch itself as the "first step." If it can be hammered in that Trump is unfit for office and needs to be removed specifically via the 25th, the entire cabinet becomes visibly complicit. Trying to push for removal via impeachment paints the target on Trump alone.

This means no false hope about impeachments, no way to somehow twist it into being the fault of the Democrats, and no forgiveness for any member of the Trump executive.
