Source, http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/---why-the-25th-amendment-suddenly-getting-so-much-attention The 25th Amendment article 4. Well, it means Congress isn't the only institution that can remove a president from office between elections. {{{ Under the 25th Amendment, a sitting vice president and a majority of the executive branch's cabinet could, on their own, agree to transfer power out of the hands of a sitting president.}}} At that point, those officials would notify Congress, and the vice president would assume the office as the acting president. And what if the challenged president wasn't on board with the plan to remove him/her from the office? As Vox recently explained, "If the president wants to dispute this move, he can, but then it would be up to Congress to settle the matter with a vote. A two-thirds majority in both houses would be necessary to keep the vice president in charge. If that threshold isn't reached, the president would regain his powers." All of this comes up in fiction from time to time, and in all likelihood, Americans will probably never see this political crisis play out in real life #repost #presidential #25amendment #remove #wishing
