Evidence
- Trump is Commander-in-Chief of an active war he initiated. Wartime presidents have never been removed mid-conflict — political dynamics strongly favor incumbency during military action.
- 25th Amendment removal requires VP + majority of Cabinet, all Trump appointees. Impeachment requires 2/3 Senate (67 votes) — Republicans hold majority. Neither mechanism is plausible in 23 days.
- No serious impeachment proceedings have been initiated. Congressional war powers debates exist but are far from removal proceedings.
- Resignation is implausible — Trump's political identity is defined by fighting. He escalated rather than backed down at every juncture.
- Historical precedent: Nixon took 2+ years from Watergate break-in to resignation; Clinton impeachment lasted months. 23 days is structurally impossible for constitutional removal.
