If the man at the top may be unstable - then the White House is likely to exhibit some instability - as well as some efforts by the White House staff - who are normal infighters - to undermine and replace the man at the top. The problem, however, is how to accomplish regime change (the replacement of a mentally unstable incumbent with another member of the ruling political party) within the very strict confines of the United States Constitution - and within the constraint of maintaining the full faith and confidence of the citizens. Time to bring Mike Pence up to bat.

We missed our chance. President Obama is already no longer the President. And Lt I don't believe that the military would be involved so this is not the venue to discuss that particular "matter."
Why would someone vote you down for this? It's a perfectly valid, though silly, question. People, listen up! There are no stupid questions...
What are u trying to say? Americans that are pro American anti illegal immigration and not leftist are meantally ill? Get out of the service if you want to join leftist causes. Even no longer in I am full blown American.

You are as fucking idiot. Mentally unstable? The congress needs to do their job and the media and loud mouth demos need to stay in their lane. I have never seen a bigger bunch of cry babies that are not getting their way. The last 8 years was a disaster unless you are not from America and are on the gay wagon. Each person can choose what they want in life. We wanted Mr. Trump get over it and move on.

How are you defining "we". Some statistics say Clinton won the popular vote, President Trump won by getting the Electoral College vote, maybe with the help of the Russians. Just saying. By the way, I will always have respect for the Office, and the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
ya right. who's to say he is mentally ill some shrink who's as out of touch as any crazy person or the congress who is so in the pockets of the money people
I totally agree. The atmosphere against Trump across the board is terrible. The double standard now in place should end. The latest results of the economy showed a strong economy is now emerging after years of sluggish performance
Just ANOTHER way to try and not allow him to perform - agree there are a lot more Dem's needing it and a few Repub's also. Let the man do his job!

who would replace him, we might get something worse waiting on a special election
This is a fascinating subject for someone around when this amendment was passed. Remember, the amendment was passed due to the physical inability of one president to carry out his duties and the head wound of another. No discussion of removal for psychological reasons was ever brought up to the public. Elected officials still held to the high crimes and misdemeanors standard.
My opinion (for what it is worth), is that, that is the standard today; high crimes and misdemeanors only. Was Truman psychologically impaired because he chose to deploy nuclear weapons? Was Lincoln impaired because he chose to not accept States succession? Was the use of flame throwers in WWII an impairment? What standard is set to establish impairment? When we chose to go down the path of psychological impairment, we go down the path of substituting a possible elite ruling class for that of the general populace. That by itself is the path to tyranny and what the rules established by the Constitution tried to prevent. That is why the discussion is so repugnant to the majority of Americans. Once the discussion starts, and is not dispelled forcibly, immediately, tyranny is right around the corner

I like the way you think. Don't expect a response from the left. This is all they have left since the failed election attempt, back to collusion and the attempts to reverse it.

The thing that concerns me the most about this discussion is, we are having the discussion. The SM that has originated this train of thought has described herself as not someone on the left. The idea has been planned however and the idea has necessitated discussion. How far are we now towards tranny by a self-appointed ruling class who provides the definition of mental health as a legitiment disqualification from seeking office. or, holding office. This train of thought needs to be called what it is; tyranny. That needs to be screamed from the rooftops over and over again. Because I approve of concealed carry of a firearm does no mean I have a mental health issue. So let's call this out at every chance we get.
Sorry for the passion. I am just highly concerned.

p.s. This guy is OK - he is an armed federal officer. Maybe took the Trump loyalty oath.
