    The top law enforcement officials in the country conspired to overthrow the elected president, thereby effectively overriding the expressed will of voters. If that happened in Uganda or somewhere, US media would be declaring a thwarted coup attempt and breakdown of society

        Nope. Article 25 of the Constitution allows for this and it's legal. A coup would not be legal and is not protected by the Constitution.

        You're dreaming if you think the 25th Amendment (not "Article 25") has one straightforward legal interpretation, and using it in that manner would not be furiously denounced as illegal and challenged immediately. It would be declared a coup

        Also, not that it matters to you one iota, but "discussed a legitimate mechanism to legally remove a President and then didn't use it" is miles away from "thwarted coup."

        Let’s not bother with technicalities like “The Constitution”. That’s so passé these days.

        Eesh. 1: not a coup, using the extant mechanisms of the state 2: the US is pretty traditionally coup-happy in other places, so why would folks care if it were a coup? 3: it's not a coup

        Attorneys discussing if a Constitutional provision applies in a difficult circumstance is nowhere close to a coup. They should be more worried about Trump's corruption.

        Sounds like the rumors that Pelosi was starting a coup to become president were true.

        Top law enforcement officials discussed using a legal and constitutional remedy to deal with a corrupt leader elected despite the expressed will of the voters engaging in obstruction of justice and stating publicly that he was obstructing justice.
