968: Pelosi and Nadler aim at impeachment in order to disenfranchise Trump. @AndrewCMcCarthy, @ThadMcCotter

Andrew C McCarthy, @AndrewCMcCarthy, Ball of Collusion; and Thaddeus McCotter, @ThadMcCotter, American Greatness, in re: The 25th Amendment, spoken of by Schumer and Pelosi, and Pompeo and Mnuchin. The 25th is an option if they're willing to abuse it, as it wasn’t designed for this purpose. Could only run the clock. If it’s for punishment, that’s what impeachment is for, and definitely will not lower the temperature. In a sub rosa way, preventing Trump from ever holding public office again might help the GOP. His running in 2024 frightens them. To unite Republicans and baseline MAGA supporters, just impeach Trump. Self-pardoning: Best option is for Trump to resign and be pardoned by Pence, with the Gerald Ford–Richard Nixon precedent. No good—you can be impeached without a crime. A bumpy ride, and we have seatbelts for it.
