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?

We both have freedom of speech and the freedom to seek redress of grievances.
If either of us come to believe, for any reason, that the President is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office," we are within our rights to petition the vice president and cabinet to exercise their authority in this area.
Now, neither of us are likely to be intimately familiar with the rigors of the Presidency, and neither of us have personally or candidly interacted with Trump. So neither of our opinions would count for much.
But it would be 100% constitutional for us to express them.
