Those three sections have all been put into effect before, but the fourth, which is the process of revoking power from a sitting President, has never been used. It provides a method of removal, where the Vice President, along with a majority of quote "principal officers of the executive departments", submit a joint declaration to leaders in Congress that the President can't fulfill their duties.
这三个部分以前都已实施过，但第四个部分，即撤销在任总统权力的过程，从未使用过。它提供了一种免职方法，即副总统与大多数“行政部门的主要官员”共同向国会领导人提交联合声明，声明总统不能履行其职责。
So, in theory, should Vice President Mike Pence, and a majority of executive Department heads of Treasury, State, Justice, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Labor, Defense, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Energy, Education, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security agree that President Donald Trump should be removed, they can jointly submit such a declaration.
因此，从理论上讲，副总统迈克·彭斯和财政部、国务院、司法部、内政部、农业部、商务部、劳动部、国防部、卫生与公共服务部、住房与城市发展部、交通部、能源部、教育部、退伍军人事务部和国土安全局部门执行领导共同认为唐纳德·特朗普总统应该被免除职务，他们可以共同提交这样的声明。
But there's one big catch. The 25th Amendment allows for the President to simply submit a second declaration, stating that they are, in fact, capable of fulfilling their duties. In that case, the VP and those department heads have to submit another declaration, forcing Congress to address the issue. From there, Congress gets three weeks to decide, by a two-thirds majority, whether or not the President can resume his position.
但是有一个很大的问题。第二十五条修正案允许总统只提交第二份声明，声明他们事实上有能力履行职责。在这种情况下，副总统和这些部门领导必须提交另一份声明，迫使国会解决这一问题。自此，国会有3周的时间以三分之二多数决定总统能否恢复其职位。
In short, the 25th Amendment wasn't really designed to be used to remove a sitting President who wants to stay President. And realistically, if the Vice President, along with most of the executive departments, and a two-thirds majority of Congress are voting to remove the President, by then, it's more likely that he just be impeached.
总之，第二十五条修正案并不是真正被用来罢免一位想继续担任总统的现任总统。而现实地讲，如果副总统和大多数行政部门，以及国会三分之二的多数人都投票赞成解除总统职务，到那时，他更有可能是被弹劾了。
So can the 25th Amendment remove Donald Trump? Technically yes, but it's not likely. With such a low approval rating and so many calling for his removal from office, how did Donald Trump become president in the first place?

那么，第二十五条修正案能否让唐纳德·特朗普下台呢？理论上来说是可以的，但可能性不大。既然支持率如此之低且如此多的人要求他下台，那么唐纳德·特朗普一开始是怎么成为总统的？观看右侧这段视频，它解释了他不太可能成功的选举。感谢收看Now This World，不要忘记每周都点击喜欢和订阅更多类似的视频。
