Seems that Pence will never entertain the idea of using the 25th Amendment.
Which seems disqualifying for a VP.
I wouldn't expect him to say anything different.
Anyway, it seems that invoking the 25th would be harder to get through than impeaching again, which would still be pretty hard.

Yeah, it needs 2/3 majority in House and Senate to override Trump's objection to it, vs. simple majority in House and 2/3 in Senate.
A simple majority in the Senate can bar Trump from future office though, and Romney and Toomey would be on board.
(Senate is 48-51 until Warnock and Ossoff are seated, when it's 50-50 with Pence breaking ties. Then it's 49-50 when Harris is inaugurated, until her replacement is seated)

Some saying that's obviously a "Deepfake" video; you can tell by the 'colour of the tie' or something.
My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

Has Trump resigned yet?
