. . . that it was grounds for removal under the 25th Amendment. Those are two entirely different things. "Impeachment" refers to a very specific political process under the Constitution; it is not a catch-all for removing someone from office, and the use of that term in the video title amounts to clickbait I'm a bit surprised, and more than a little disappointed, that David Pakman os throwomg aroumd terminology so carelessly. He does a disservice to his viewers by doing so.
