Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called for amending the
25th Amendment
that would allow for the removal of a
vice president
who "lies or engages in a
conspiracy
to cover up the incapacity of the president."
Trump talked about the constitutional change at a campaign rally held in Mosinee, Wisconsin in response to President Joe Biden's subpar debate performance in June and his subsequent withdrawal from the presidential race, leaving Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Trump said, "If you do that with a
cover-up
of the president of the United States, it's grounds for
impeachment
immediately and removal from office, because that's what they did."
"We're run by stupid people — stupid, stupid people,"
Trump
said. "And we found that out at the debate with Joe. How did that work out?"
