Re: U.S Election 2020
There’s a lot of interesting debate on the merits of 25th Amendment vs impeachment floating around. I doubt either will happen, certainly not reach a conclusion before he leaves office.
25th Amendment if Trump gets wind of it he can fire the Cabinet members who would vote against, and it’d only take one loyal to Trump (he appointed them after all) for him to know. As it stands, the Cabinet can arguably stop him from acting as he gets increasingly unhinged and monitor the situation for now. If they got sacked they’re suddenly out of some of the decision making processes or chain of command.
Impeachment would almost certainly take too long but could in theory stop him running for public office but unlikely to conclude before January 20th.
