The Constitutional Plan to End The Trump Regime

[bucolic_frolic]

I wake up daily to disturbing posts from the President of the United States. These disturbing rants prove we are no longer dealing with normal political discourse, but a calculated authoritarian playbook. The noise gets so loud that many people tune it out. We can't afford to look away.

We must connect the dots between history, psychology, and the Constitution to see exactly where we stand:

The "Invasion" Narrative: Trump uses specific language against Minnesota, Governor Walz, and Rep. Ilhan Omar that mirrors the exact historical propaganda used to justify cruelty.

The Psychology of "But...": Interviews with Minnesota voters reveal a pattern: they acknowledge the chaos but refuse to leave the narrative. MAGA operates as an identity, not just a vote.

The Constitutional Solution: The "Nuclear Option" exists. A specific, multi-step strategy involving the Midterms, the Speaker of the House, and a double impeachment process (starting with J.D. Vance) finally leads to accountability.

The Global Cost: Our domestic chaos serves as a direct gift to Putin and threatens Ukraine.

We move beyond just surviving the days. We find the way through.

2. K&R

We are running out of options — this might be the solution.

For the love of all that is good and holy — we need a solution to make sure these EVIL FUCKERS don’t win…

3. "impeach vance first" is a good idea

as for confirming a new vp , i don't think we should confirm anyone. maybe a career diplomat as ambassador but certainly not an appeals court judge or federal prosecutor..

4. If both Vance and TSF fall to impeachment before a new veep is selected

...then the Speaker of the House becomes president. And after January 2027, it's very realistic that Speaker will be Hakkem Jeffries.

5. That's not unlike what happened with VP Spiro Agnew when Nixon was president

Members of Congress recoiled at the idea of Agnew becoming president if they impeached President Richard Nixon over Watergate. Agnew had to go, and go before Nixon.

He came under investigation by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland as part of a corruption scandal. Agnew eventually pleaded nolo contendre (no contest) to one count of tax evasion and resigned as vice president in 1973. Nixon replaced him with Republican Gerald Ford.

Nixon was named by a grand jury as an unindicted co-conspirator in connection with the Watergate burglary, while seven former members of his administration were indicted on charges of conspiring to hinder the investigation of the burglary. He resigned in August, 1974 after meeting with Republican leaders on Congress who told him he wouldn't get much support in a vote on impeachment.

6. it's a simple plan

I think it could work. If McConnell can refuse to confirm Garland back in 2016, we can refuse to confirm a vp.

7. It's a completely unrealistic plan.

In what universe are there sufficient votes to convict and remove Vance from the Vice Presidency? It takes 67 votes, assuming all 100 Senators are present. Including Sanders and King, the Democrats currently control 47 Senate seats. There are 20 Republican held seats on the ballot in 2026 -- does anyone, anywhere, believe the Democrats are going to capture every Republican-held seats? Does anyone, anywhere think there would be sufficient Repubs willing to vote to convict JD Vance or Trump?

8. if anything could do it

the state murdering U.S. citizens could.

also, you assume all republicans would continue to vote as a monolith. That may not necessarily be the case.

Finally, you have completely ignored the fallout from Epstein.

You can’t just look at numbers under the circumstances of today. You have to take into consideration events that are present now and how they might play out.

10. They would be stupid to convict and remove both in Democrats take the House

That would mean Jeffries becomes President. No Republican is voting for that. We need 67 votes. At best, there will be 53 Democrats in the Senate next year. 54 in a mega landslide.

[Buckeyeblue]

13. Agreed. The strategy is sound but Republicans aren't going to vote to install a Democratic president

Let's just say that Trump continues to be Trump or worse and Dems crush it in the midterms. Like the country sends a signal, like Democratic candidates win in places they haven't won in years. And couple that with Trump having a meltdown about everything being rigged. Maybe Republicans become open to moving him. They would probably insist on JD being president. Or if that wasn't palpable, he would have to be removed and replaced with another Republican. Trump is not going to go along with that. So this plan us fantasy.

9. Everyone really glossing over the part

where removal in the Senate required 67 votes, and we could have 51 or 52 or so under the most hopeful circumstances.

Let's go through this idea.

Democrats win the House. Ok, I'll buy that.
Democrats win the Senate. Lets say for the sake of this that we do, and let's even give us 53 votes there for lulz.
Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker, and 3rd in line for the Presidency.

Democrats bring impeachment against Vance. OK, the House with a Democratic Majority could do this at any point they wanted.
Remove JD Vance......This is where the whole plan falls apart. Who are the 14+ R Senators that you need to make that happen?

Hold the VP open. Sure Democrats could do that with a Senate Majority, no problem.

Impeach Trump. The House Majority could absolutely do this.

Remove Trump and Install Jeffries. Again, who are the 14+ R's that you'd need to go along with the idea of removing a Republican President and putting in a Democratic one?

12. Conviction is a bipartisan event

It lacks political legitimacy without votes on both sides. Republicans stared down Nixon for the good of Constitutional order.

I don't say it's not a stretch, but removing the chaos to appease angry voters who are ringing their phones is not impossible in the moment. Vance is a nasty, awkward wreck.

[Boo1]

14. Its more than a stretch

It's fantasy.

We've been diqn rhis road. Republicans wouldn't even vote to remove when he staged an insurrection and wasn't even in office anymore. They arent going to do it in this case either.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Never underestimate the jolt value of a repudiating election

They don't need a spine as much as sobriety. When power concentrates in the upper echelons of government, no telling what can happen. SCOTUS could invalidate the Constitution, politicians could sense low level MAGA power, they could even think of their legacy, the consequences of being thrown from office, their duty to their Oath, or the Republic itself.

Don't extrapolate the new normal we've been living through as a universal blanket reality. There are eras, periods, and moments. There's also let's get it over with, it's no longer of any use to us.

16. In the highly unlikely event it was certain that there were sufficient repubs to convict, the following would happen

First, the only thing I see as making it remotely likely that Trump would be convicted would be smoking gun evidence of his having engaged sex with a minor. And by smoking gun evidence, I mean photos. Nothing else would be sufficient to convince repubs to jettison him.

Second, if there was such evidence, and it was certain he was going to be convicted by the Senate, he would be convinced to resign and Vance would become President. There is no circumstance in which there would be sufficient votes to convict Vance. And it would be political suicide for the Democrats to prevent the country from having a vice president going into the 2028 elections.

Third, an alternative scenario would be that despite it being certain that Trump would be convicted, he refuses to resign. His cabinet invokes the 25th amendment and after the back and forth, it goes to Congress, where, in this theoretical scenario, there are sufficient votes to prevent his return to office and Vance becomes President.

Both of these scenarios are far-fetched, but they are 100 times less far-fetched than the nonsensical fantasy laid out in the OP.

17. So after the VP is impeached, a replacement has to be named?

I don't think it works like that.

[onenote]

18. Section 2 of the 25th Amendment

"Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."

Seems pretty clear.
