Just to follow up on this with another question. If the dems DO win a veto-proof super majority in the House and Senate in November, and they pass a law to create a committee to decide if the 25th amendment should be used to remove the president, and that committee concludes that POTUS is no longer capable of fulfilling his duties, does Vance really have to agree as is seemingly stated in the Constitution?
If Vance still gets a veto, despite the overwhelming contrary conclusion of a committee of Congress, this is a serious flaw in the Constitution. Because it fails to provide a remedy if BOTH the president and the VP are corrupt/bonkers/compromised/incapacitated/etc.
Reminder: The Amendment 25, Section 4:
Whenever the Vice President a͇n͇d͇ 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.
