Byron York, Washington Examiner: Byron York: 25th Amendment chatter: Dems, pundits mull ways to remove Trump
As President Trump finishes his fourth week in the White House, a number of opposition lawmakers, political commentators, and self-styled members of The Resistance are discussing ways in which the president might be quickly removed from office.
Some have talked about impeachment for quite a while, even before the Trump inauguration. But that could take a long time, and it would require Trump to commit, and then be charged with and convicted of, "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" to meet the Constitution's standard for removing the president from office.
That's too long term, say some. So now, there is increasing discussion of the 25th Amendment. The 1967 amendment, which has its roots in the Kennedy assassination, covers ways to replace an incapacitated president.

Americans love to fight and stand up for their democracy.
But when a unpopular controversial figure gets elected by the people - Where is the democratic patriots?
Too busy trying to find ways to remove their democratically elected president.
Hypocrites.

Beyond the two FBI field offices, FBI counterintelligence agents based in Washington are pursuing leads from informants and foreign communications intercepts, two of the people said.
This counterintelligence inquiry includes but is not limited to examination of financial transactions by Russian individuals and companies who are believed to have links to Trump associates. The transactions under scrutiny involve investments by Russians in overseas entities that appear to have been undertaken through middlemen and front companies, two people briefed on the probe said.
Will leave office to avoid impeachment on conflict of interest and Russian connection
Not for a long time, it takes simple majority to start the process, so a minimum of 3 Republican Senator's would have to vote to impeach.
That's not gonna happen .
Removal via the 25th Amendment or Impeachment will likely and rightly trigger a second civil war, this time rural America vs our anti-democratic cities. The city folk should keep in mind that the rural folk are the ones who know their way around guns before deposing the man they put in office by working hard and following the rules.
LMFAO

The only way there will be impeachment, is if:
A) a majority of Republican Senator's abandon Hair Furour,
B) a majority of House Republicans lose their seats in the 2018 Midterms, and a majority of Republican Senators abandon Hair Furour, ( only 4 Republican Senate seats are up for election in 2018.
Trump could get caught with a trunk full of dead Russian hookers, and Mego Lar could be found to have dungeons full of Bosnian Sex Slaves and the Republican's would still stand solidly with him.
Hell, Hair Furour could not actually build "The Wall", he could just claim he already did, and the Mexican's paid for it, and the Trumpshirts would believe him over any actual reporting.
*note to self, TrumpWall Bus Tours, $15 dollar cheeto's, $50 MAGA hat's made in China.
the same people who refused to impeach Dick Cheney for the real war crimes he was responsible for are now talking about impeaching Trump before he's even done anything? All this talk about him being a pawn of Putin is nonsense. The Dems want us to believe there's no other reasons why Clinton could've lost the election, also nonsense, particularly after she characterized Trump supporters as "deplorables" and ignored the millions of Americans who were economically disenfranchised by Obama's Wall Street first economic policies. Rather than impeaching Trump, the best thing the Democrats could do for themselves and the country is help drive George Soros and his billions of corrupt dollars out of the country.
the collective fascist left is in tears, talk of assasination and impeachment display their desperation as well as their lack of respect for anything that isn't socialism/hand-outs/anti-American/revisionist/etc...also proves how closed minded the left has become.
