The 25th Amendment Isn’t a Fast Track to Oust Trump
TL;DR
The Vox explainer argues that while the 25th Amendment has triggered attention, it’s not a practical route to remove President Trump: it requires a cabinet majority and a two‑thirds vote in both houses, an almost insurmountable hurdle in today’s polarized politics. By comparison, parliamentary democracies can remove leaders more easily, so the United States is unlikely to oust Trump before 2029 via the 25th Amendment.
