Inspector General's Agenda: We The People

We The People should have the right to demand that any sitting President be held accountable for their words and action if they give the appearance that they are not of sound mind, mental state, or judgement.
The lack of political experience is no excuse for lying. Nor should one political party be allowed to block or interfere in any investigation of the White House. They are not by default above the law.

It is clear that Donald Trump is not fit for the office of President, but the proper protocols must be followed. The United States of America's Constitution must be followed and it is clearly not. So-called President Trump does not even understand the Constitution.

Besides what might amount to high crimes and misdemeanors , there are all of the bigotry, lies, falsehoods, misrepresentations, broken promises, smoke screens and plain old stupidity displayed on a daily basis by Trump and his crew of misfits.

Article II (Article 2 - Executive) Section 4

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Amendment XXV affects 9 (Amendment 25 - Presidential Vacancy, Disability, and Inability)

4: Whenever 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, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office. {Passed by Congress July 6, 1965. Ratified February 10, 1967.}

Can Trump be removed without impeachment?

With the arrival of the Trump administration we have a state of governance in which no matter where you turn there is either paralysis or uncertainty. The Supreme Court is in a deadlock; we have an attorney general who had to recuse himself from involvement in a major issue; a Congress without a compass, moral or otherwise; and an incoming secretary of housing who doesn’t know the difference between an immigrant and a slave.

And topping off this discombobulation is a president whose latest early morning tweets is to blame President Obama for tapping his phones during the last election.

So, what’s to be done? Can we start at the top of the government with the removal of the president to clean up this mess?

For several weeks now there has been talk about invoking the 25th Amendment and a provision that allows the vice president and most the cabinet to author a letter to Congress indicating the president’s inability to “discharge the duties of his office.”

When a sitting president accuses a former president of tapping his phones, there is a clear indication that he’s out of touch. First, the president is not authorized to call for such action. That’s a process that must be court-ordered and approved by the attorney general, who is practically, now, dysfunctional.

Removing Trump from office without impeachment would not be easy because it’s unrealistic to expect Vice President Pence and members of the cabinet to unite for such an action. And Trump could quickly remove members of his cabinet if he discovered such a move was in motion.

According to Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, Congress can form its own body to evaluate Trump’s fitness to govern that would be able to sidestep his cabinet. This body would not need any medical diagnosis of Trump and could compose its own criteria to judge the president’s ability to govern.

All such discussion and possible means to remove Trump are theoretical and would require a concerted and sustained effort from Congress, which, as we know, is ruled by the Republican Party. Even talk about a president’s mental condition is a cause for alarm, and it becomes particularly disconcerting if a critical situation arises requiring a quick and sound judgment.

Trump hasn’t demonstrated during these first days in office that he can render a thoughtful decision. His tweets are evidence of a man who makes snap judgments without mulling the consequences or without consultation with his staff, though that would not be a useful course of action in this case.

As for Trump’s recent allegations against Obama about the wiretapping, Sen. Al Franken may be on the right track when he concluded that the president’s tweets are merely a gambit of distraction. He is “trying to distract the American people from the facts by putting forth outrageous claims,” Franken tweeted.

There is good reason to expect more outrageous claims because more distractions will be necessary for a clueless president without a rudder of intelligence or decency.
