The high trader consensus against removal via the 25th Amendment before 2027 reflects President Trump's continued public schedule, policy execution, and lack of cabinet declarations or documented incapacity that would activate the process under Section 4. With no active disputes between the vice president and cabinet majority, and historical use limited to acute medical crises rather than political disagreements, the mechanism remains dormant. Republican majorities in Congress further reduce the likelihood of sustained challenges. Unforeseen health developments, sudden cabinet shifts, or extreme institutional fractures before the end of 2026 could still introduce limited volatility, though current conditions show no such catalysts.
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump is formally removed from the office of the President of the United States by means of the process outlined in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If the Vice President becomes Acting President via the process outlined in Section 3 of the 25th Amendment, it will not effect the resolution of this market. Only Trump’s removal from office via the process outlined in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment will qualify for a "Yes" resolution. If Trump ceases to be POTUS before this market's expiration date for any other reason, this market may immediately resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market will be official information from the US government.
