They could remove him anyttime they want.
Instead, they just whine. They don't really want the soap on a rope.

Anyone who thinks there are actually going to be fair and legitimate midterms is completely delusional.
The time to buy a firearm is now.
Bought most of mine in 2019/2020, been practicing, preparing and building community since then. The writing was on the walls and clear as fucking day.
The time to coordinate, collaborate and train hard is now.
Not sure what exactly you’ve been waiting for.
The time was at least 5 years ago. Learning takes practice and that takes time. Everyone make sure you practice with your weapon.
The best time was 5 years ago, the second best time is now.
Progressives need to prepare for the worst if it comes to it. If a civil war comes, the antifascists better form a more organised and unified resistance than the Spanish antifa ever did during the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish antifascists made up of liberals, communists, socialists and anarchists were more busy shooting at each other than at actual fascists.
That was largely down to the communists. Stalin already had Molotov-Ribbentrop in his sights, and it was signed around the time Franco won the Spanish civil war.
Maybe he’ll fuck that up too
Which is why the time is now.
Don't wait until Republican voter registration becomes a requirement to pass a firearms background check.
I mean, I do
Sorry to hear that.
I hope you're right to still have faith.
I really do.
I just don't think it's gonna happen.
Democracy is over in the US until you sort out your fascist infection.
If Trump had a plan he wouldn't be fighting so hard to pass the SAVE Act
Trump's plans are always spray-and-pray. He throws out a dozen things and hopes enough will get implemented.
Get your hand out of grandpa’s ass, Stephen Miller
This is him having a temper tantrum because the bipartisan War Powers thing.
Time to threaten him with te 25th Amendment removal and have THAT be bipartisan.
Time to threaten him with te 25th Amendment removal
That relies on his own cabinet, full of hand-picked loyalists. Never going to happen.
If Congress wants to threaten him with removal, impeachment is the mechanism for that.
Impeachment, conviction and my personal favorite:
Yeah. But unfortunately trump has essentially proven that Congress will never deal with a corrupt president no matter what. There couldn't be a better example of someone who objectively should be removed from office
proven that Congress will never deal with a corrupt president no matter what.
I don't know. I think there are circumstances where it could happen.
Consider, for example, if the president was a Democrat.
That's absolutely true, actually.
25th only matters if Trump can't or won't cancel it.
Contesting the 25th amendment is just as hard as impeachment and removal, so might as well just go that route without the extra steps.
80 years old child
There is no need to disrespect children like that!
The GOP has a late-stage tumor, but removing it might just give them a chance to go on. Not sure why they don’t consider this.
The GOP is cancer themselves.
Heck if they went back to being as far right as Mitt Romney was, it would be considered a remarkable improvement
There's no coming back from what they've done
There shouldn’t be.
But they go low, we go high, right? /s
I lost all respect for Obama for pulling that shit
Cause the GOP just went "Okay, you go high, going low got us the Supreme Court!"
Except with the n-word at the end.
Do you think trump is aware that he can't stonewall that bill for very long?
If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
So the reason they're mad is that if they want it to pass they'll have to stay in Washington for the next 10 days and not go back on vacation? That tracks.
He thinks Congress will capitulate to him within that 10-day period.
Or, He and his toady chorus are completely unaware of the ten day rule
Anyone else confident they won’t?
More like 'cautiously optimistic'. This is Congress we're talking about.
and there hasn't been a pocket veto since gwb.
If they veto it, or pocket veto it by ignoring it, it takes a larger majority to pass it. I think you are mistaken here.

No, they're right. Trump can't stonewall because that exact clause in the Constitution takes the "ignores it" option off the table.
Read OP's quote again:
If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.
"They" don't veto anything. The president vetoes. Only him. And even then he either signs it and it is approved, or he returns it to Congress and it is rejected (vetoed), one or the other, within ten days.
That's it. There are no other options, because the clause quoted takes any other option away.
If the president simply does nothing it becomes law, "in like Manner as if he had signed it."
A pocket veto is when the president does not sign it within the ten-day period AND cannot return the bill to Congress because Congress is no longer in session or adjourns within that ten day period.
So how a pocket veto works depends entirely on Congress being in session or not. "They" don't do anything else. The bill now either gets signed or it fails, just like any other bill.
If a bill fails because it is successfully pocket vetoed by Congress' absence during its attempted return, they just leave it as failed and it dies, or they reintroduce it as a normal bill, requiring a normal number of signatures, and again the executive will simply sign it or return it.
So I have no idea where you're getting that more than a simple majority is required to pass a reintroduced bill after a pocket veto, or why this bill would require anything different than usual. If a new bill is reintroduced because this one fails, it will be voted on in the same manner that this one was.
If only there was SOMETHING Republicans Could Can and Could Have DONE to appeal to Voters! OH WELL!
Donvict is such a petty little bitch.
TRAITOR
He got paid off. Not by lobbyists to his pacs, maybe a bit of that, but under the table. Millions and millions to not sign it.
Was there ever any doubt?
The heritage foundation says [insert Trump quote here].
.... which I consider to be a national emergency
Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!...
