House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested during her weekly presser on Thursday that someone needs to stage an “intervention” on President Donald Trump “for the good of the country” — and she didn’t stop there.
After being pressed by reporters about what this “intervention” would involve, Pelosi found herself admitting that invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office may be a “good idea” after all.
Democrats keep coming back to the idea of the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president, alongside Congress or the president’s Cabinet, to remove a president from office who is deemed incapable of performing his or her duties.
While Pelosi has been hesitant to support impeachment efforts, it seems she doesn’t mind the idea of Trump being removed from the White House in other ways.
An intervention?
At one point during her Thursday question-and-answer session with the media, Pelosi expressed her concern for the president’s state of mind and said she hopes someone in Trump’s circle will step in.
“I pray for the president of the United States,” she said. “I wish that his family or his administration or his staff would have an intervention for the good of the country.”
Pelosi went on to assert that she was truly concerned about the president’s mental well-being before suggesting that Trump’s behavior toward her and Democrats is a sign that “maybe he wants to take a leave of absence” from the White House.
Pelosi gets confused
Later in the press conference, a reporter sought to clarify Pelosi’s earlier remarks about an “intervention.” But Pelosi misheard what the reporter said and assumed he had broached the topic of the 25th Amendment.
“OK, the what intervention?” Pelosi stammered. “Oh, I thought you said statutory intervention. That would be good, Article 25,” she joked.
She went on: “That’s a good idea, I’m glad you suggested it. I’ll take it up with my caucus, not that they haven’t been thinking about it. But your support will be important to them.”
Take a look for yourself:
It seems Democrats have found themselves unable to compete with Trump on a number of fronts, so they have resorted to personal attacks and smears against his state of mind as a way to diminish his popularity.
How’s that working out for you so far, Nancy?

The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
This is a topic that is near to my heart… Take care! Exactly where are your contact details though?
In the awesome design of things you secure an A+ for effort. Where exactly you misplaced me ended up being in your specifics. As people say, the devil is in the details… And that could not be more true right here. Having said that, let me inform you exactly what did do the job. The writing is certainly very powerful and this is most likely why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can see the leaps in reasoning you make, I am not necessarily certain of just how you seem to unite your details which in turn make the actual conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt yield to your issue but hope in the near future you connect the facts better.

I used to be able to find good advice from your blog articles.
A large percentage of of whatever you mention happens to be supprisingly appropriate and that makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this light before. Your article truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular subject matter goes. Nevertheless at this time there is actually one particular point I am not necessarily too cozy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the core theme of the point, let me see what all the rest of your subscribers have to point out.Nicely done.
Wonderful work! This is the kind of information that are supposed to be shared across the web. Disgrace on the seek engines for now not positioning this publish higher! Come on over and consult with my site . Thank you =)
