Former President Donald Trump has promised to support an amendment to an existing constitutional amendment, as part of his attacks on Democratic opponent Vice President Kamala Harris and his allegations that President Joe Biden has been unfit to hold the Oval Office.

"I will support modifying the 25th Amendment to make clear that if a vice president lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president of the United States — if you do that with a coverup of the president of the United States — it’s grounds for impeachment immediately and removal from office, 'cause that’s what they did," Trump baselessly accused.

The 25th Amendment is the one that codifies the line of succession should a president resign or be killed; it also allows for the president — or their cabinet to decide, by majority vote — to temporarily transfer the president’s duties to the vice president, and scaffolds a way for Congress to decide who will hold presidential powers in case of a schism between the president and their cabinet.

In this case, it seems Trump wants to create a mechanism for a situation he has no proof of having taken place — one in which he alleges Democrats covered up Biden’s challenges in executing the duties of his office. But a mechanism for removing an executive officer already exists — it’s the Congressional power of impeachment and subsequent Senate trial, which Trump, as the only president to be impeached twice, has already experienced.

Saturday afternoon’s rally in Wisconsin had Trump firing out of the gate, as his grand entrance from his "Trump Force One" campaign jet — led directly to a crowd champing at the bit to hear him. He showed himself to be in form quickly, promising his supporters that they would defeat "comrade Kamala Harris" — his new favorite moniker for his Democratic rival for the presidency — and turn around a "failing nation" that he says is a "laughing stock all over the world."

"Over the past four years, our country has seen the sickness and corruption of the Washington swamp exposed like never before," Trump said, reviving his 2016 pledge to "drain the swamp" of Washington bureaucrats.

The rally was an opportunity for Trump’s followers — including a group of women he frequently calls out as following him across the country, and a handful of men known as the "Front Row Joes" — to cheer as he calls Harris and Biden "stupid" and the worst elected leaders "in the history of our country," insisting that "there’s never been anybody that’s done the damage of these people."

To try to prove that on Saturday, Trump argued that Biden and Harris have weaponized government and abused law enforcement, saying that "Christians and pro-life activists are in prison for the crime of praying in public." (He offered no examples during the rally, but has previously cited the arrest of Paula Harlow, a woman who was convicted for obstructing access to a reproductive health clinic in Washington D.C.; in that case, a group that Harlow was a part of blocked patient access to the clinic, injuring a nurse a nurse in the process.)

Trump argued that "good people" like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro were locked up for following the advice of their lawyers. (Both were sentenced to four-month prison terms on charges of contempt of Congress; both refused to sit before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot.) And he said that Democrats want him in jail for "exposing their corruption." (Trump has been convicted on 34 counts of fraud in New York related to covering up hush money payments, and faces charges in cases related to obstructing justice and attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election; a third case, which was dismissed by a Trump-appointed federal judge, is being appealed.)

In a statement, Trump claimed that his sentencing in the hush money case was done “because everyone realizes that there’s no case, because I did nothing wrong.” In a decision letter, Manhattan District Court Judge Juan Merchan wrote that the sentencing delay was done to protect against perceptions of election interference.

The former president also twice invoked the name of his lesser rival-turned-ally, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who he said will be involved in a "panel of top experts to investigate what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic health problems and childhood diseases," as well as a plan to "take on the corruption" in federal and international public health organizations. The Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization and others, Trump alleged, "are dominated by corporate power and dominated, really, by China."

Trump also pledged to "sign an executive order banning any federal employee from colluding to limit speech, and fire every federal bureaucrat who is engaged in domestic censorship," as he claims that there’s no "free speech in America, because it’s been taken away." (He said this, of course, standing on a podium in the middle of a field, surrounded by thousands of people, in a speech being broadcast globally by some of the largest social platforms in existence today.)

His planned executive order promise appears tied to a lawsuit led by two Republican state attorneys general against the Biden administration’s attempts to restrict COVID-19 vaccine misinformation. That case, Murthy v. Missouri, was thrown out by a 6-3 majority of the U.S. Supreme Court, in which two Trump appointees joined with the court’s liberal wing and Chief Justice John Roberts to state that the plaintiffs didn’t prove a link between misinformation restrictions and government official actions.

Trump also pledged to "rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner unjustly imprisoned by the Harris regime" — meaning those convicted for crimes during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — as soon as he wins office. 

This week, a pair of Capitol Police officers who were present for the Jan. 6 attack signed on to a letter endorsing the Harris presidential ticket.

“He put my life and the lives of my fellow Capitol Police officers in danger on January 6. He doesn't care that it was because he encouraged a mob of violent insurrectionists to march on the Capitol that five officers died because of that day, and now he's running to pardon those very same insurrectionists, pardoning the people who pled guilty, people who had their day in court," former Capitol Police Sgt. Harry Dunn told reporters. "He doesn't care about Capitol Police or any law enforcement."
