Magical thinking

 There's a lot of folks who imagine that the path to removing Trump runs through the 25th Amendment. This is just as much magical thinking as that he'll be convicted on impeachment charges, and for the same reason. Ultimately, both rely on a 2/3 vote in the Senate, which will require all 50 Democratic votes and 17 Republican votes. This isn't gonna happen, peeps, no matter how much we click the heels of our ruby slippers. Don't take my word for it:

"Invoking the 25th Amendment would require Pence and a majority of the Cabinet to vote to remove Trump from office due to his inability to "discharge the powers and duties of his office" -- an unprecedented step.

Trump could dispute their move with a letter to Congress. Pence and the Cabinet would then have four days to dispute him and Congress would then vote -- it requires a two-thirds supermajority, usually 67 senators and 290 House members to permanently remove him.

On Thursday, sources close to the VP said it was "highly unlikely" Pence would attempt to invoke the 25th Amendment. The sources said it appeared such an effort would ultimately be unsuccessful. Pence had not discussed invoking the 25th Amendment with any Cabinet officials, an administration official previously told CNN.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said during a news conference earlier this week that he and Pelosi tried to call Pence to invoke the amendment to oust Trump from office, but they were put on hold for 25 minutes and then were told he would not come to the phone." https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/09/politics/mike-pence-25th-amendment/index.html?fbclid=IwAR3nkiuNMYTPyUHv3Liw5zKwi5PtbRK4w-ZPMLJkq9jLh30wLQGkyVHRVYo
