President Donald Trump removed from office because of mental incapacity? (novembre 2019)



Huffington Post 

The much-anticipated book “A Warning,” reportedly written by an unnamed senior White House official, claims that high-level White House aides were certain that Vice President Mike Pence would support the use of the 25th Amendment to have President Donald Trump removed from office because of mental incapacity.
According to the exposé, which is written by someone that The New York Times and the publisher of the book say is a current or former senior White House official, using the pen name “Anonymous,” highly placed White House officials did a back-of-the-envelope tally of which Cabinet members would be prepared to sign a letter invoking Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which says that if the president is deemed unfit to discharge the duties of his office, the vice president would assume the role.

Unfavorable demography and economic troubles are also major Italian disadvantages. The ratio of seniors to working-age adults is the highest in the Western world. Italy’s growth record is deeply disappointing: Per capita G.D.P. has stagnated for two decades. When it came to dealing with Covid-19, howeve...

Adesso i democratici se volessero avrebbero materiale per impicciare Donald (Luglio 2019)

  Adesso i democratici se volessero avrebbero materiale per impicciare Donald By   Jonathan Allen (NBC News) WASHINGTON — There was no made-for-TV moment, but former special counsel Robert Mueller still delivered plenty of breadcrumbs for Democrats who want to follow the politically risky trail toward impeaching President Donald Trump. A grizzled G-Man out of the central casting era dropped anachronistically into the viral-clip moment of cable-televised clapbacks, Mueller immediately dispelled the notion that he had cleared the president of wrongdoing. "No," he said when House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler asked if he had totally exonerated the president, as Trump has frequently claimed. Then, over the course of seven hours, testifying before two committees, Mueller would intimate that there was evidence of conspiracy between Russia and Trump's 2016 campaign, acknowledge with the simple word "true" that he found it unethical and wr...
