Vice President of the United States Mike Pence is considering using the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution to remove President Donald Trump from power. Therefore, he can temporarily assume the powers of the head of state.
As reported by the television channel CNN, citing sources, the decision can be made in the coming days. According to the 25th amendment, the vice president is the head of state in the event of an early termination of the president’s powers. for his disability.
This amendment has never been applied since it was passed in 1967 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Its objective is to resolve situations in which illness or death prevent the head of state from performing functions or resigning. In theory, the amendment can be used against a president who is in his right mind but does not want to leave office.
Pence’s team believes that declaring the president incapacitated may create additional risks to the country’s security.
However, if Trump’s behavior “becomes even less predictable,” then the vice president will have to resort to the amendment and assume the duties of head of state.
