Mnuchin and Pompeo discussed removing Trump after Capitol attack, book claims

Two cabinet members considered invoking the 25th amendment, new book by the ABC White House correspondent says

Donald Trump's secretary of state and treasury secretary discussed removing him from power after the deadly Capitol attack by invoking the 25th amendment, according to a new book.

The amendment, added to the constitution after the assassination of John F Kennedy in 1963, provides for the removal of an incapacitated president, potentially on grounds of mental as well as physical fitness. It has never been used.
