Former President Donald Trump vowed to change the 25th Amendment to allow for the removal of the vice president if they hide the “incapacity of the president.”
During a Saturday rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, Trump offered a new proposal to modify the 25th Amendment. Trump and his supporters have often attacked Joe Biden by alleging he is mentally unfit to serve as president while claiming Kamala Harris has hid this fact from the public.
The 25th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution is designed to set up a line of succession if the president dies or becomes incapacitated. It allows the vice president to become president if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office by impeachment.
Mitt Romney was literally the only Republican senator who voted to remove Trump for both impeachment trials. Not sure what you’re referring to but all the other Republicans voting party over country are to blame.

Had they impeached Trump after Jan. 6th the. Trump would be ineligible to run for president now and we wouldn’t be in this mess
I stand corrected on part of it. He did vote guilty on the first impeachment article, just not the second for obstruction of Congress. I guess at that point it didn’t matter, as the Senate overall wasn’t going to remove Trump anyway.
Right, there were 52 other Republican senators who could have had some spine and voted for their country over their party, but didn’t. If anyone should be singled out for being at fault, it’s Mitch McConnell, who voted against Trump’s second impeachment conviction, even though he stated “There’s no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day”. As the senate majority leader, he could have whipped the other Republicans to stand up to Trump, but didn’t, effectively finalizing handing the party over to Trump.
