The 25th amendment.

I'm serious. I'm that worried about this guy that I think it's time for somebody, somewhere to step in.

I kinda wish there actually was a 'deep state' at this point. If there were Individual1 would be having 'an accident' right about now.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The defense readiness condition (DEFCON) is an alert state used by the United States Armed Forces.[1]

The DEFCON system was developed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and unified and specified combatant commands.[2] It prescribes five graduated levels of readiness (or states of alert) for the U.S. military. It increases in severity from DEFCON 5 (least severe) to DEFCON 1 (most severe) to match varying military situations.[1]
