I'm so grateful for your in deep explanation.

Thank you.

Edit: Forgot something.
You mentioned the Vice President. From what I understand Mike Pence isn't exactly going to stab his boss Mr. Trump in the back, but I do not know him personally, so who knows what he is thinking or capable of.

You are most welcome.
I think it would require some pretty clear evidence before the VP would agree to invoke the 25th. Evidence like the President being in a coma for instance.

As long as the President is present and functioning, I doubt that any VP would start 25th proceedings. And it can only be started by the VP. Congress has no authority to initiate proceedings under the 25th. They only have authority at the end.

So all the talk about invoking the 25th either in the news or on the Internets Tubes is meaningless unless and until the VP makes a decision.

Even if 100% of the cabinet is in favour of invoking the 25th, it goes no where without the VP. There is no provision for compelling the VP to take action with regard to the 25th.

Foreign cars are also a national emergency, "Threat to the USA's national security":

Especially since most of those "Missiles from Germany" are actually manufactured in US plants...

Sanders has the same problem that all the other declared and undeclared Dem hopefuls have. The constant reminder of the positions they once held that are no longer 'woke' enough. Or no longer 'left' enough. If the MSM or the group-think socialist types don't do it you can be assured that Trump will.

If its cheaper to build those BMW's, Volkswagons and Mercedes here then so be it. We mustn't let national pride and patriotism get in the way of whats best for the world economy.

Exactly. When we want to go to the stars we have to bury nationalism, patriotism and the concept of "nations". We can see how well already all this works in Russia, China, North Korea, Romania, England and the US...

That would mean one world government.
