... unless he was in a coma. He has enough loyal cabinet members to prevent this from happening. Even if successful, it would be temporary since he (and his loyalists) could challenge the results. The 25th Amendment removal is even harder than impeachment. And the 25th Amendment only makes the VP and "acting president" not THE president. Meanwhile, Trump and his crooked loyalists can continually challenge and send it to Congress where a two-thirds vote is required on BOTH houses, not just the Senate. --- It's meant to be a difficult and high bar in order to prevent a palace coup.

Better to focus on Impeachment instead.
