Those three sections have all been put into effect before, but the fourth, which is the process of revoking power from a sitting President, has never been used. It provides a method of removal, where the Vice President, along with a majority of quote "principal officers of the executive departments", submit a joint declaration to leaders in Congress that the President can't fulfill their duties.
這三個部分以前都已實施過，但第四個部分，即撤銷在任總統權力的過程，從未使用過。它提供了一種免職方法，即副總統與大多數“行政部門的主要官員”共同向國會領導人提交聯合聲明，聲明總統不能履行其職責。
So, in theory, should Vice President Mike Pence, and a majority of executive Department heads of Treasury, State, Justice, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Defense, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, Education, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security agree that President Donald Trump should be removed, they can jointly submit such a declaration.
因此，從理論上講，副總統邁克·彭斯和財政部、國務院、司法部、內政部、農業部、商務部、勞動部、國防部、衛生與公共服務部、住房與城市發展部、交通部、能源部、教育部、退伍軍人事務部和國土安全局部門執行領導共同認為唐納德·特朗普總統應該被免除職務，他們可以共同提交這樣的聲明。
But there's one big catch. The 25th Amendment allows for the President to simply submit a second declaration, stating that they are, in fact, capable of fulfilling their duties. In that case, the VP and those department heads have to submit another declaration, forcing Congress to address the issue. From there, Congress gets three weeks to decide, by a two-thirds majority, whether or not the President can resume his position.
但是有一個很大的問題。第二十五條修正案允許總統只提交第二份聲明，聲明他們事實上有能力履行職責。在這種情況下，副總統和這些部門領導必須提交另一份聲明，迫使國會解決這一問題。自此，國會有3周的時間以三分之二多數決定總統能否恢復其職位。
In short, the 25th Amendment wasn't really designed to be used to remove a sitting President who wants to stay President. And realistically, if the Vice President, along with most of the executive departments, and a two-thirds majority of Congress are voting to remove the President, by then, it's more likely that he just be impeached.
總之，第二十五條修正案并不是真正被用來罷免一位想繼續擔任總統的現任總統。而現實地講，如果副總統和大多數行政部門，以及國會三分之二的多數人都投票贊成解除總統職務，到那時，他更有可能是被彈劾了。
So can the 25th Amendment remove Donald Trump? Technically yes, but it's not likely. With such a low approval rating and so many calling for his removal from office, how did Donald Trump become president in the first place?

那么，第二十五條修正案能否讓唐納德·特朗普下臺呢？理論上來說是可以的，但可能性不大。既然支持率如此之低且如此多的人要求他下臺，那么唐納德·特朗普一開始是怎么成為總統的？觀看右側這段視頻，它解釋了他不太可能成功的選舉。感謝收看Now This World，不要忘記每周都點擊喜歡和訂閱更多類似的視頻。
