Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson addressed the Republican National Convention on the fourth and final night on Thursday, where he lauded a man of whom he once said, "I hate him passionately."
Vice president doing it wouldn’t be but once he kills the president, he is automatically president per the 25th amendment. Then he just pardons himself. Bam, criminally immune. And pardon power is in article 2, can’t be questioned, automatically an official act with presumptive immunity.
This supreme court ruling is so dumb.
Using the 25th amendment to remove a living president would require cooperation of the cabinet and congress (if Trump contests the removal).
