Only CABINET MEMBERS can invoke the 25th.
Spicer and Priebus are not CABINET MEMBERS.

Yes, I think Price was one.

Cabinet Members (not "Cabinet Level") who have left/been replaced since Trump inauguration:
Tillerson
Mattis
Sessions
Zinke
Puzder ** (Name withdrawn before confirmation – real reason ??? hmmm)
Price
Shulkin
Kelly
I don't think if Kelly was one, Trump would have appointed him as his CoS.
I believe Mattis is one of the two, though.
The Jussie Smollet hoax and the "anti-lynching" bill are designed to stir up emotions and reinforce stereotypes.
The internal polling #'s showing AA's moving away from Dems and into Trump camp must be much much bigger than we realize. Trump is developing ALOT of AA support in the grassroots, something the media and D's are desperate to reverse/staunch.
-Shulkin is an MD. Perhaps could use "moral persuasion" from his status as an MD to convince other Cabinet members?
-Shulkin appointed by Obama as a VA undersecretary
-Shulkin only Cabinet member to have "unanimous" vote for confirmation in Senate.
"Every dog has his day".
There is more to the Mattis puzzle than appears on the surface. Perhaps after he was exposed as a Deep State player, his real power was sidelined/taken away but he was allowed to remain in place as an "actor" to play his part. I suspect more info about "sortof a Democrat" Mattis will drip, drip, drip out in the days ahead.
McMaster not a Cabinet member, but held a "Cabinet level appointment". Not the same for the purposes of invoking the 25th.
Just because 2 possibles were mentioned in the FBI plot to effect their coup, does not mean the Cabinet/Cabinet Level officials/Executive Key staff were not further infested with others who were working from within to undermine the Agenda, leaking info to turn public sentiment against POTUS, gather info that could possibly be valuable for an impeachment attempt, etc etc etc.
The rot is deep and it will be hard for many to accept.
Except that Chao remains in place.
I agree that both Chao and McConnell are dirty/corrupt AF. Even a small effort at digging reveals enough to make you want to puke.
