Elizabeth Warren endorses use of 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., a 2020 candidate for president, on Sunday endorsed the idea of President Trump's team invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office if the circumstances call for it.

“My point here is that if they believe that Donald Trump cannot fulfill the obligations of his office, then they have a constitutional responsibility to invoke the 25th Amendment,” Warren said during a press conference following a campaign rally in Las Vegas. “Their loyalty under law is not to him personally. It is to the Constitution of the United States and to the people of United States.”

Warren, a frequent target of Trump's due to her dubious claims to Native American ancestry, is increasingly defining herself as the 2020 candidate who uses provocative comments to counter the president's bellicose brand of rhetoric. For instance, Warren told an Iowa crowd last week Trump "may not even be a free person" by the time the 2020 election comes around.

It's high time to put into law a mechanism to remove Senators as well.

Right now, the only way to remove them is to vote them out of office, or the Senate body refuse to seat them.

The seat was created by the Founders to represent the state, however now they do not as the 18th Amendment took that right away.

It needs to be restored so a State can remove a Senator who no longer represents that state.

Pocohantas sounds pretty desperate. She's not getting the traction she hoped for.

The constitution provides the only allowable remedy...expulsion by a 2/3rds vote.

I'm beginning to think she's not that bright.

He is doing that.  She may not like the way he's doing it, but that's not what the 25th is for.

Policies that Liberals (mostly) hate and a lot of bluster on Twitter does not equate to an inability to fulfill the obligations of the office of the President.

Fauxahontis knows the President can and will fulfill the obligations of his office without exception.  She just wants to stop him.

...and to think, she's one of the more 'sane' liberal females running.  God help us.

 Art 1, Sect 5:  Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.

18 was repealed.  16, 17, and 19 left to go.

Fauxcahontas has committed repeated acts of fraud in her lifetime, sufficient for the Senate to begins actions against her remaining in the Senate.  Where is their Ethics Committee?

If you're talking about her claiming Native heritage, you would never get a conviction.  First of all, what law prohibits it?  Secondly, she would insist, again, that it was family lore and she really believed it.  Like millions of other families.   That's a non-starter.
