No reason for the 25th amendment. Impeach!

He committed a war crime. No one can refute it. It is not the cabinets job to get rid of Trump. Its congresses. Can they get the votes to impeach? Would Republicans dare to vote no?

Even if half the cabinet says Trump is unfit, as long as he is conscious, he can claim that he's perfectly fine. When he does that, it goes to the Congress.

And when it goes to Congress, it takes a 2/4 2/3 majority IN BOTH HOUSES to remove. With impeachment, it takes that supermajority only in the Senate.
