quote:

“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,” Ms. Warren said, according to the newspaper. “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 should know that it takes more than ranting with smoke signals for the elder council to declare a chief unfit to lead his village. You'd need him to be crazy with firewater or peyote before they were willing to go on the war path and count coup.

"Doing things I don't like" is not a failure to fulfill obligations of the office.

First, I have no love for Warren, and I see no evidence that Trump has been incapacitated for purposes of the 25th at any point during his term of office. But I MUST ask “what the Hell are you talking about?” She said
quote:

if they believe that Donald Trump cannot fulfill the obligations of his office, then they have a constitutional responsibility to invoke the 25th Amendment,”
That is almost a verbatim recitation of Section 4 of the 25th:
quote:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of (the Cabinet) transmit to (Congress) 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.
I have seen no evidence that she claims he WAS incapacitated. She is just restating the law.

What is it that you contend she does not understand?

Is there anyone left in Washington, who actually knows what they’re talking about?

Let me translate for you peasants:

Washington belongs to US, the elites.

If per chance yet ANOTHER outsider ever DARE think of running for President and upsetting the pig trough, let this serve as a warning: There is a WAY we, your overlords, do things in Washington....if you even THINK of coming to Washington and interfering in the graft, corruption and lies that have made us all millionaires, we WILL get you, truth and Constitution be DAMNED.....

They are literally grasping at straws. Trump has fricked them up so bad that they don't know if they are coming or going.

Uh false.

They serve at the pleasure of the President who is in charge of the executive branch, not them, and is charged with carrying out his orders.

If they disagree with him and can't or won't carry out his orders, then they had best resign.

The 25th amendment was only designed for scenarios in which the President was not able to credibly discharge the duties of the office, not mere disagreements the cabinet might have. It was never a blank check for insubordination.

Before Trumps arrival, the narrative was always "Washington is corrupt, we need change...."

Now, the election of Barak Obama was indeed fortuitous because it had the OUTWARD APPEARANCE of change, even tho' none was to be seen because we soon found out that Barak Obama was just as corrupt and greedy as anyone in Washington.

What we are seeing with President Trump is REAL change, the first we've seen in Washington in modern history.

Change makes most people uncomfortable and the way for the piggies at the trough to remain in power is to make EVERYONE uncomfortable and afraid so we will pine for the "good ole' days" when the Left and Right played at "Punch and Judy", all the while enriching themselves and screwing the country.

Make no mistake: The constant harping from the Media and the Left is from a place of fear, not for the country, but for themselves.

A bull has shown up at the pig trough and if they can't convince the American Public that the Apocalypse is just around the corner, the pigs may lose control forever.

The 25th amendment was never meant to be a blank check for insubordination amongst cabinet members and bureaucrats that have a policy or character disagreement with the President.
