Just like impeachment didn’t work because the GOP as a whole had neither the honor nor the spine.

It really is important to understand how much of our society depends on people having the guts to do, not even what is right, but what it manifestly obvious. The 25th Amendment won’t be the magic Trump eraser, because Vance doesn’t have the honor or the spine.
