Originally posted by seer View PostWho is the "they?" Certainly not political hacks in the Dept. of Justice, that was an attempted coup.
The "they" quite clearly refers to the "required individuals" mentioned earlier in the sentence. If you're confused as to what I meant by "required individuals," I am referring to "the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide" as specified in the Amendment.

Invoking the 25th Amendment simply out of political expediency is clearly contrary to its intent.Last edited by Terraceth; 02-15-2019, 06:20 PM.
