Just came over a texting group. And apparently, this was the Vice President's initiative.

Word is he's working with his chief-of-staff (Marc Short) on reaching out to Congressional Republican leadership, too.

I'll believe it when I see it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 16:34 1
- Right there with you. - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:46
I hope it's true. This fuck needs to go. It's not like he's working at being Prez anyway. -- nm - Diva Jan 6, 16:26
I wonder if this turns into a race to see which body can get 25th vs impeachment done first. -- nm - Max Jan 6, 16:22 1
- It could. I've seen stranger things happen, especially when Yertle the Turtle is in panic mode. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:31
Who are the Cabinet members who'd go along? -- nm - mara Jan 6, 16:20 9
- I dunno. I'm running down the list right now (and will edit this post as I do). Best guess is a bare majority would vote to remove. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:21 8
  - nobody wants to be known thru the rest of time as the swing vote that kept Trump. -- nm* - Peglegpete Jan 6, 16:34 2
    - yes I stole this idea from the film/play 1776 -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 6, 16:37 1

  - How many does it take? -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 16:28 4
    - Simple majority. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 16:29 3
      - And I can't remember if it is just Cabinet officials who make the decision, or if "Cabinet-level" officials are included. - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:40 2
        
        "a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide..." -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 16:47 1
        
        Yup. But the question is: Do the WH Chief-of-Staff, CIA Director, Director of National Intelligence, etc. meet that definition. - ReluctantCynic Jan 6, 16:50
