--thanks to Trump-- that will continue on well past Inauguration Day;
2. As VP he gets only six months of SS protection;
3. As a former President (even for a handful of days), he gets LIFETIME SS protection
If he's too reticent (cowed/stupid) to pull the Article 25 lever, then will someone point this out to "MOTHER?!"
Honestly, this leaking to CNN that it is still on the table is driving me nuts. Just do it.

(18,486 posts)The only way he becomes president entitled to all the post-presidency benefits is if Trump resigns or is removed by the Senate pursuant to impeachment

(5,525 posts)I think his ego will see his resignation as the only way .
Being impeached or 25d means other people (his enemies) are in charge.
He might just come around to the strong choice of resigning.
Soon I hope. The sooner the better.
What perks would he then have or not have?
