If this last year showed up in the West Wing, everyone would've stopped watching and started complaining online that it wasn't realistic at all.

Woodrow Wilson became disabled after a massive stroke and his wife basically ended up running the government for him. She's been called The Secret President.

"The 25th amendment has several sections. The first is Section Three. "
Makes sense.

"[President Regan's assassination attempt happened] just down the street from where I live"; luckily he had a good alibi since he was in Wisconsin and 12.

In 50 years people are going to take this scandal over Nixon's for history lessons

I'm forty-five years old and this year was the first time in my life I even cared about watching Congress verifying and counting electoral votes. Could Trump stop making even the most mundane government functions insanely terrifying FOR FIVE MINUTES!!!

1:50 "But this is real life." Thank you for the confirmation. I've been getting increasingly unsure.

“4 years for a president to serve their term is a long time. It’s a long, LONG time.” Yea I can confidently say I don’t think it’s ever felt longer.

[BenjaminGlatt]

"Four years is a long, long time." Indeed. By my calculations, it's been almost three and a half centuries since Donald Trump took office four years ago.

The sheer logistical hassles of evoking the 25th have always seemed very daunting to me. Like, imagine if Pence and the cabinet marches in to the Oval Office and tells Trump he's evoking the 25th. Who would physically get Trump out of there? Could he just move into a different office in the White House until all the legal challenges were done?

Just imagine being so bad at your job that you give your two weeks notice and they go, “is there any way we can make this happen sooner?”

I can only imagine how much Devin pines for the days he was just doing legal analysis on My Cousin Vinny and Top Ten Lawyer Memes.

If he can't be responsible enough to have a twitter, he shouldn't have the power of the most powerful military in the world.

In parliamentary systems, we have the idea of ‘confidence’. A motion might be put that ‘the prime minister no longer has the confidence of the house’. This would seem to cover the middle ground between actual incapacity, and full competence. The US constitution doesn’t seem to cover this middle ground without stretching the use of the word ‘unable’.
