When JD Vance has a Congress that will back him (which he will have in 10 months), he, and a majority of the Cabinet, can invoke Section 4 of the 25th amendment. He can declare the President incapable of performing his duties, and step up to the plate. Congress then has the opportunity to decide whether to support his coup, or reinstate Trump to the presidency.
To be successful, he will have to immediately blame Trump for attempting to block the midterm elections, and appoint a special prosecutor to look into the full scope of Trump’s numerous, unadjudicated crimes.
For (most) of the next 10 months, JD Vance will have to continue to appear to support Trump’s presidency, and Trump will have to continue his own Trumpiness.
Yes. And I am being serious.
