I get the theory on trying to make it look like Vance did not act on his own behalf but for the good of the country. But what makes anyone think that Vance would actually step aside when he is bought and paid for by Thiel? And has a self-centered ego? And Thiel would not let his investment go down the drain.

Cabinet members can also call for the 25th, but none of them would.

Can Congress do it?
