On Monday morning, New York Daily News, race-centric columnist Sean King posited a new change to the Constitution to oust Donald Trump. He tweeted, quote, a few serious but wild questions. One, could the people of the United States somehow hold a vote now or in the next year to oust Donald Trump like a recall of some sort? And then he also tweeted, what other ways exist for the American people to legally oust an unethical president? Impeachment only?

We have long since crossed a point where real Donald Trump is so dishonest, so unethical,

0:26.3

that it is truly dangerous for our democracy. In layman's terms, what would it take for the USA

0:30.7

to pass a constitutional amendment for a president recall like California has for governor?

0:37.1

Apparently, Sean King was too busy tweeting to read the Constitution.

0:40.1

You know, the document that answers this exact question many, many times.

0:44.1

Impeachment is the only constitutional way of ousting a sitting president, of course,

0:47.7

unless Trump is declared mentally unfit for office under the 25th Amendment by the VP

0:51.5

and a majority of cabinet officers or of such other body as Congress

0:54.8

provides by law. But our constitutional system was designed to avoid the instabilities of parliamentary

democracy with its constant votes of no confidence, its constant elections, its shifting

governmental powers. As for revisions of the Constitution, the Constitution also sets out how

1:08.4

amendments work, but that would require, you know, actually

1:11.2

reading things. It would also require Donald Trump to do something so bizarre that VP Pence or

1:16.0

House Republicans had no choice but to initiate Trump's ouster. He hasn't. The left's hysteria right now

1:21.2

is so over the top. They can't even wait for Trump to implode for him to become unfit in their

1:25.5

eyes. He was unfit the day he won. Here is the truth. Trump's Twitter feed is not a threat to the Republic. His rhetoric may not be good for civil discourse, but that's nothing new. President Obama spent the last eight years undermining civic discourse in a far more sophisticated way than Trump does with his 140 character blasts. And Obama undermined faith in the government far more than Trump has,

1:44.6

which is how Trump was able to sweep into the White House on the back of popular discontent.

1:48.5

The left can keep dreaming that Trump will just disappear or they can deal with reality.

1:52.1

So long as they do the former Trump will keep winning. It looks like Trump's winning streak will

probably continue on that basis. But just as importantly, the left's lack of care about basic
