Re: U.S Election 2020
John Bolton just said on Sky News that not many people understand the implementation of the 25th Amendment, there is 13 days left of the Trump presidency, his cabinet could invoke the 25th, but Trump only needs to write a letter back to congress, to say he is fit and healthy, Congress then has 21 days to debate it.....Bolton also said it could lead to two people declaring themselves president.
From what I understand is happening now, while he still is president, he will be being bypassed already, whilst he has the nuclear codes, his authority to order a nuclear strike may have already been revoked like Nixons was in 1974, before he left office.

The scene from the White House south lawn on August 9, 1974, is vivid in the nation’s memory. That morning, President Richard Nixon famously boarded Marine One for the final time, put on a wide grin and fired off a final double-V to the assembled crowd.
But one of the most interesting aspects of that day is what didn’t happen on the south lawn: Even though Nixon had more than two hours left in his tenure, the most critical tool of the modern presidency had already been taken away from him. He never noticed it, but the nuclear “football” didn’t travel with him as he boarded the helicopter, and later, Air Force One for his flight back to California.
In a democratic country without hereditary power, royal crowns or bejeweled thrones, the nuclear football is in some ways the only physical manifestation of our nation’s head of state.
Yet, on that August day, it had been quietly removed from Nixon’s hands—remaining behind at the White House with the incoming commander-in-chief, Gerald Ford.

From what I understand, they are only revoking his access through fear or potential trouble Trump could still cause, which is fine. But in doing that ban, they are regardless of right to do so or not, alienating millions of people. |
