Has the 25th Amendment ever been used to remove a president from office?
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constituti...
Amendment XXV
Section 1. In case of the removal of the President from office !!!!
or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
3 of you failed to read section 1
Section 1. In case of the ***removal of the President from office*** !!!!
***(or)*** of his death or resignation
Key Word is OR...OR...OR DEATH
Sorry I think one needs to be removed. Need I say more? Just wondered what steps need to be taken.

The 25th has never been used to remove a president.
Section 1 has been used once, when Nixon resigned and Ford became president.
Section 2 has been used twice; the first time when Agnew resigned and Nixon nominated Ford as VP, and the second time when Ford became president and nominated Rockefeller as VP.
Sections 3 and 4, which remove a president from power, have never been used in the 40-some-odd years that the amendment has been in effect.

When Richard M. Nixon resigned the presidency, he was on the verge of being impeached, convicted and removed. He left voluntarily and Gerald Ford, then VP, became the President.

That amendment doesn't and can't remove a President from office. It details what is to happen if/when a President leaves office before the end of their term.
