    Fuck the 25th Amendment:

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,

    it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,

    and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

        I don’t think you understand the 25th amendment. It only works with the cooperation of the Vice President, the Cabinet, and Congress.

        None of these three have any interest in exercising their authority under the 25th Amendment.

        The only route available to achieve what you are asking for is described in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.

        When a tyrant wraps himself in the flag and the Constitution, burn all three.

          Now that’s a good one liner.
