Type “the 25th amendment” into a search engine and the results throw up a lot of stories about Donald Trump. This hitherto fairly obscure codicil to the work of America’s founding fathers was among the hot topics of conversation among leading Republicans at the Munich Security Conference. Perhaps, the chatter had it, it provides the route to unseat the president. Such is the surreal nature of the conversation within the Washington political establishment about Mr Trump’s steadily more surreal presidency.
在搜索引擎中输入“第25修正案”,会有很多关于唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)的新闻。针对美国开国元勋们制定的宪法出台的这条迄今仍鲜为人知的修正案,是参加慕尼黑安全会议(Munich Security Conference)的美国共和党高层热议的一个话题。也许,这条行文繁琐的修正案提供了一条罢免总统的路径。在华盛顿的政治建制派内部,围绕特朗普严重超现实的总统职务的议论就带着这样的超现实本质。
