==WHY IN SUCH A HURRY TO IMPEACH? CAN'T THEY JUST GET PENCE TO INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT?
No.==
[And Pence has supposedly declined. Did he really have a choice?]
Why did DeVos and Chao resign from their cabinet positions? Forced/Leveraged?
PENCE CAN'T INVOKE THE 25TH WITHOUT A MAJORITY OF THE CABINET:
"Section 4. Whenever the Vice President anda majority of either the principal officers of the executive departmentsor of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."
POTUS doesn't need to force everyone out, just enough so that a majority of those who remain won't side with VPOTUS.
Brilliant move.
Keep putting the ball back in congress' court. Don't let them pass the buck. Make them do the dirty work and dig a deeper hole for themselves.
