Time to Invoke the 25th Amendment!

The 25th Amendment provides for the removal of the President if s/he is unable to perform his duties. Donald Trump is clearly unable to continue to perform his duties as President due to the mental, cognitive and emotional shocks he has experienced and is still experiencing in the aftermath of his recent landslide loss to President-elect Joe Biden.
What is the evidence?
1. Delaying and threatening to veto the $908 billion Covid relief package with help for the unemployed, small businesses, renters, hungry families and low to middle incomes families and individuals. After 9 months of acrimonious disagreements, Republicans and Democrats in Congress passed a $900+ billion Covid relief bill. The President delayed acting on the legislation, causing essential-to-survival unemployment insurance benefits to expire. This delay will likely cause unemployed workers and their families to lose $9-10 billion in UI checks.
2. Veto of the $740 billion defense authorization legislation. The President vetoed defense funding, including military pay and benefits, cyber defense and other vital defense spending. He was concerned about a commission charged with renaming bases currently named for Confederate War generals — all of whom committed treason to our nation.
3. Delaying and threatening to veto $1.3 billion funding for government operations, including defense and domestic discretionary spending. There was overwhelming bi-partisan, bi-cameral support for the bill. This is in essence a government shut down despite his own Administration’s negotiations and agreement with Congress on every aspect of the bill.
4. Pardons for the four Blackwater murderers of 14 unarmed, innocent Iraqis.
5. Pardons for his Russian co-conspirators – Paul Manafort, Rodger Stone, Michael Flynn, George Papadopolous and Alex Van Der Zwaan.
6. Pardons of three convicted, corrupt Republican Congressmen – Duncan Hunter, Steven Stockman, and Chris Collins — and several corrupt campaign contributors convicted of large sums of Medicare fraud.
7. Blaming the Russian hack of vital information from US government agencies on China. The Russian intelligence services hacked Treasury, Pentagon, Energy, Homeland Security, Agriculture and the US national intelligence agencies. Trump denied the attack was serious and blamed it on the Chinese even though all his top intelligence officials identified Russian intelligence as the perpetrators.
8. Sacking the top officials of the Defense Department who had been steadfast in maintaining US national security interests and non-interference in US election results.
9. Sacking the US Attorney General and the head of cyber security at the Department of Homeland Security who had vouched for the integrity of the November elections.
10. Efforts to overthrow US presidential elections, including discussions of military rule and martial law and throwing out the results of the Electoral College, so that Trump can continue as President, despite losing the popular vote by over 7 million ballots and the Electoral College by 306-232.
11. Obstructing Presidential transition planning and collaboration on vital matters of national and domestic security.
What is the procedure?
The Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet must agree that President Trump is no longer able to discharge the powers and duties of his office and so notify the House and Senate. If the President disagrees, it requires a 2/3rds vote of the House and Senate to remove him. While it is not likely, it is becoming increasingly imperative that the Vice President and the Cabinet act in a manner consistent with their oaths of office to prevent further harm to our nation’s vital interests at home and abroad from the vagaries, whims and increasingly bizarre conspiracies of a President who has become clearly unhinged by the electoral results and his imminent removal from office on January 20, 2021.
