25th Amendment not a variable. [View all]

Why:

1. Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are in charge of Trump.
2. If 25th Amendment is a consideration, they will go to the Cabinet -- and the VP -- and threaten them when it fails.
3. And if it is pursued, Trump will replace a lot of them, save for Vance. "You're fired!"

Impeachment is more viable, provided that Republicans in the House are concerned they will lose their seats in the Midterm Elections.
