Reading the anonymous New York Times op-ed written by a current Trump administration official and published on Wednesday, we should be alarmed at the flippancy with which the writer posits invoking the 25th Amendment.

The writer, which the New York Times inadvertently identified as a male, argues, “Given the instability many witnessed, there were early whispers within the cabinet of invoking the 25th Amendment, which would start a complex process for removing the president. But no one wanted to precipitate a constitutional crisis. So we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction until — one way or another — it’s over.”
