Unlikely 25th Amendment path to remove Trump amid cross‑party calls
TL;DR
Despite cross‑party calls to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Donald Trump, the path remains highly unlikely: it requires the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet (Congress does not initiate it) and Pence is not expected to trigger it; past uses by Reagan and Bush were for health-related handoffs, and there is no established congressional body designated to act under the amendment.
