Self-proclaimed Man of God and Notorious Schemer Mike Pence, who believes that God is “calling” him to be President, was disturbed that Trump has tried to draw Pence into the Ukraine scandal that has triggered a serious Impeachment Inquiry in the House of Representatives.  After consulting with “Mother,” Pence decided he could no longer afford to put his fate in God’s or Adam Schiff’s hands and hope that Trump either died from a massive heart attack due to his horrendous diet and obesity or is convicted in the Senate after being impeached.

So Pence has been quietly sounding out other Cabinet members as to their views on invoking the 25^th Amendment. In order to eliminate the possibility that some Secretaries may be reluctant to cross Trump while he is not yet mortally wounded, Pence found a work-around.  He told the Cabinet Secretary that he, Pence, would take attendance at the next Cabinet meeting.  He then developed a “sign-in sheet” that is actually the second page of a 25^th Amendment certification by Cabinet Officers that Trump is so mentally incapacitated, he should be removed from office.

To build his case publicly, Pence persuaded Trump to try on, in the Oval Office, a so-called “Straitjacket,” as a show of support for Pence’s efforts to efforts to promote gay conversion therapy.  “This Straight Jacket prevents the gay man from touching HIMSELF or another MAN in an INAPPROPRIATE MANNER,” Pence explained, as Trump sat there in his typical arms crossed, petulant posture.

Pence believes this will be the final straw that tips Mitch McConnell over the edge and will lead to a Senate vote to uphold the Cabinet declaration and install Pence in the Oval Office much sooner than Impeachment would.
