Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Key Democrats Back Effort to Remove Trump

July 1, 2017 · 9:11 am ET · Leave a Comment

“For months, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders have privately counseled their more militant members to forswear talk of impeaching President Trump, telling them the political support for such a step simply doesn’t exist in the GOP-controlled Congress,” Yahoo News reports.

“But 25 House Democrats, including the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, are now pushing an equally radical alternative: They are backing a bill that would create a congressional ‘oversight’ commission that could declare the president incapacitated, leading to his removal from office under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”
