Impeachment vs. 25th Amendment: Weighing Constitutional Removal Options #3566730 (License: Personal Use)

The illustration depicts a classic balance scale with two weighted spheres: a green one labeled “IMPEACHMENT” on the left, and a red one marked “25th” on the right. The scale tilts decisively toward impeachment, visually suggesting its greater historical use and perceived legitimacy as a removal mechanism compared to the 25th Amendment’s limited application. Hand-drawn in ink with watercolor accents, the image conveys both legal gravity and political nuance.

This image is commonly used in legal commentary, political analysis articles, or educational resources discussing presidential accountability mechanisms. It serves users seeking to understand differences between impeachment (Article I) and Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, especially during periods of political crisis or leadership challenges.
