This. Though I would support invoking Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to have the cabinet declare him incapacitated.

Probably, yeah. It would depend on who was taking over and what they were planning to do on some level, I suppose. A basic respect for democratic institutions would have to be a prerequisite.

If we elect him, we deserve to suffer. Obviously if he's going to literally start launching nukes or kicking out muslims who are U.S. citizens, or something similarly terrible, then impeach him. But otherwise we deserve to take the punishment as a country. If he worsens our relations abroad, starts a conventional war with Mexico, repeals Obamacare...so be it. It's what we voted for.

No, let him finish destroying the Republican Party in office. Can you imagine how fantastic the midterm election would be?

At this point, considering the temperament and mental (in)stability of this candidate, this issue transcends traditional political partisanship. His presidency would be a threat, not only to our country but potentially the world. If he made it into the executive, then as soon as he threatened human rights, constitutional rights, or international security, he should be removed immediately. I find absolutely nothing positive about a Trump presidency; not even the destruction of the Republican Party would be worth that damage.

I don't support military coups under any circumstances. Armed proletariat revolutions maybe.

I much prefer this option for swift action. Cabinet declares him incapacitated and Pence becomes Acting President. At least Pence is stable.

The only way I can support a coup against Trump is if he did something completely egregious. Military incapacitates him and they swiftly turn over the reins to his VP or the Speaker.

A military coup would be illegal so of course not.

Yes, and this thread should be deleted. Where are the moderators today?

A military coup? Mother of god this is a whole new low for Atlas. If he breaks the law, which I thouroughly expect him to, he should be impeached. The Constitution gives no precedent for f***ing military coups.
