Coup D’Etat, Part 3
One path that the coup plotters appear to have been contemplating was using the 25th amendment to remove PDJT from office after the firing of James Comey. The 25th amendment was originally passed to provide a framework for replacing, either temporarily or permanently, a President who became incapacitated and was unable to discharge his duties as President. President Wilson’s stroke in 1919 is one example of the situations that might occur. Another example was President Reagan on the operating table after being shot and also for shortly thereafter. There had been discussions of this nature after President Kennedy’s assassination. These discussions led to the passage of the 25th Amendment in 1965.
