If I grant you that point, "coup" still wouldn't be the right word. The constitution is supreme above the president. If the constitution is still in effect, with checks and balances, it's not a coup.

So, let me ask you this... When does the 25th Amendment come into play and who is the deciding group to determine the POTUS is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office?" After pondering those questions, what word would you use to describe a back door attempt to overthrow a sitting POTUS?
