political salvage

the 25th Amendment's all the rage
as scholars grasp at any floating straw
to save us from the latest Trump outrage
the remedy's untested, but it's law
impeachment needs the House to take the lead
and Ryan hasn't shown such gumption there
but maybe he'd show sense enough to heed
dementia when the VP makes it clear
half-literate, and immature to boot
Trump couldn't organize a paragraph
before he ran, I didn't give a hoot
but now, he'll prosecute me if I laugh
had voters exercised due diligence
we wouldn't now be settling for Mike Pence
