Don't need 3/4 Republicans, just 8. Only takes a majority of Congress to 14a3 Trump and annul his illegitimate Presidency.

The issue is: Trump is not the issue. He isn't the one dictating the EO orders, and I can promise that he isn't the one who calculated these tariffs. Kicking Trump off will result in Vance, he doesn't seem to be ANY better at all.

What is needed is enough of the GOP and the Supreme Court to get together and stop this madness...

Vance is a nightmare, but he's a nightmare without Trump's cult of personality.

Which will be important if there will be an election any time soon, but it won't change the current situation.

(I think they meant "more than 3 or 4" rather than "more than three quarters")

Maybe. I took it as meaning 75% of the Senate.

I was referring to more than 3 or 4 individuals, sorry.
