    Yes, and that process involves a higher threshold (2/3 of both houses) than impeachment (1/2 of the House and 2/3 of the Senate). It also needs the VP to agree.

    So if impeachment won’t work, then this won’t work either.

      If his condition is in decline and this is not the last stupid thing he does it might become more likely.

      Honestly, if you can get 2/3 to agree, they shouldn’t need to have any qualifying condition. That should just be the bar for getting fired even if enough people simply don’t like him being there.

        That’s already how it works with impeachment. You need 1/2 of the house and 2/3rds of the Senate to agree to remove. You are describing what already exists
