The Trump presidency is a failure. How could it end: impeachment? Will there he resign? Could Congress remove him from office on grounds of incapacitation?
As long as there is a Republican majority leading Congress impeachment will not happen.
Donald Trump will never omit defeat. Winning at all cost seems to be his motivation. So, any thought of Trump resigning is foolish thinking.
Removal from office because Congress declares the president too incapacitated to lead is only possible if the Republicans conclude that Trump is hurting their chances of retaining leadership in the 2018 midterm elections.
So far, twenty-five Democratic lawmakers now back a bill that would give them a path to remove President Donald Trump from office, Yahoo News reported.
“ . . . The bill would create an Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity, and it appears to be based on a section in the 25th Amendment which allows for the president to be removed from office if the Vice President and either a majority of Trump's cabinet or a majority of Congress sign off on it,” according to Business Insider.
And it appears the Republicans are turning against Trump’s presidency.
“The relationship between President Trump and Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, has disintegrated to the point that they have not spoken to each other in weeks, and Mr. McConnell has privately expressed uncertainty that Mr. Trump will be able to salvage his administration after a series of summer crises.
“What was once an uneasy governing alliance has curdled into a feud of mutual resentment and sometimes outright hostility, complicated by the position of Mr. McConnell’s wife, Elaine L. Chao, in Mr. Trump’s cabinet, according to more than a dozen people briefed on their imperiled partnership. Angry phone calls and private badmouthing have devolved into open conflict, with the president threatening to oppose Republican senators who cross him, and Mr. McConnell mobilizing to their defense.”
