It depends if 'acting' cabinet get a say. I am guessing that they wouldn't.

I think Mitch has nothing to lose and has the 16 or 17 votes he needs to do Donald. He might even do Hawley and Cruz while he's at it with expulsion, 2/3 needed for impeachment conviction and expulsion of senators.

Impeachment can happen real fast, as soon as the house delivers articles Mitch can have a couple of up down votes and if there are 66 senators, the Don is gone. They can do Donald in a day and it sounds like they've been having confidential discussions among the congressional big four.

Pelosi, Schumer Ask Cabinet to Eject Trump, Threaten Impeachment
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer demanded that President Donald Trump’s cabinet immediately remove him from office and threatened a new drive to impeach him if they don’t act.

Pelosi, Schumer Ask Cabinet to Eject Trump, Threaten Impeachment
- Democratic leaders urge Pence to invoke 25th Amendment
- Schumer, others flag Trump incitement of mob storming Capitol
The two top Democrats in Congress on Thursday accused Trump of inciting the mob that stormed the Capitol and called him a continuing threat to democracy in his waning days in the White House.
Trump is “a very dangerous person who should not continue in office,” Pelosi said in Washington. “This is urgent, an emergency of the highest magnitude.”
In a separate news conference in New York, Schumer echoed Pelosi’s dire warnings. “The best thing to do is to get rid of him,” he said. “I don’t trust him one bit.”
The extraordinary broadside against Trump came as the president is under siege from some Republicans as well as Democrats and from inside his own administration as top officials announce resignations.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, is so far the highest ranking official to depart. She said in her resignation announcement that the storming of the Capitol by Trump supporters “deeply troubled me in a way that I simply cannot set aside.”
Investors largely shrugged off the violence in Washington and the turmoil in the government, as nearly 70% of the companies in the S&P 500 rose in trading on Thursday on the prospect for more stimulus and the likelihood that calm will prevail once Joe Biden takes over the presidency on Jan. 20.
QuickTake: Why Trump, Yet Again, Prompts Talk of 25th Amendment
Pelosi said she wants to hear as soon as today from Vice President Mike Pence about whether he would act on calls to use the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office in the final 13 days of his term. Schumer said he and Pelosi attempted to reach Pence by phone Thursday morning but were left waiting for 25 minutes.
Although numerous congressional Democrats have been calling for Trump to be impeached, it was unclear whether there is time to do so before he leaves office on Jan. 20 and whether there is significantly more Republican support than earlier this year after the Senate voted to acquit him on impeachment charges brought by the Democratic-led House.
Although Schumer said the House and Senate should be brought back for impeachment proceedings, Pelosi said there were “no immediate plans” to call members back.
”If he wants to be unique and be doubly impeached -- that’s up to him and his cabinet if he wants to stay in office,” Pelosi said.
Schumer, who is set to become majority leader, said in a statement earlier Thursday that Pence should take over the Oval Office until Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20.
A number of rank-and-file Democrats have urged Trump’s impeachment, and a Republican, Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, also backed ousting the president via the 25th Amendment.

“Not only has the president abdicated his duty to protect the American people and the people’s house, he invoked and inflamed passions that only gave fuel to the insurrection that we saw here,” Kinzinger said in a tweeted video statement. “The president is unfit and the president is unwell and the president must now relinquish control of the executive branch voluntarily or involuntarily.”
One senior Republican senator told White House Counsel Pat Cipollone that the cabinet should consider removing Trump by invoking the 25th Amendment if he doesn’t stop inciting violence, a person familiar with the matter said.
The 25th Amendment provides for the removal of the president if the vice president and a majority of the cabinet determines that he or she is “unable to discharge the powers and duties” of the office. If the president contests the finding, and the vice president and cabinet persist, Congress can order the president’s removal by a two-thirds vote in both chambers.

Yup, it could be fun
I just don't see them going 25th for the first time in history with 2 weeks left. If they admit that he's that bat shit crazy, then the question would be why they didn't act years earlier. So they can't admit that, even though they have always known it. Their base is extremely stupid, their excuses don't have to even be that plausible.
Another impeachment on the hand is perfect for the republicans. It gets him out of the picture and they can blame the Democrats. Win win for republicans. All those pieces of shit that want his base and want to win in 4 years. Regardless, Georgia and Texas have shown us that the republicans days are numbered if they carry on like this. We may have just witnessed a change in power that may last decades.
I personally am hoping for a 4th option, that he tries to invoke martial law.
