It would have to be pretty blatant though.
I know a lot of people think Trump's various alleged crimes were already pretty blatant, but I don't see it that way.
Anyway, all speculation.
Although, I was talking with my sister the other night about what kind of stunts Trump could pull as a lame duck, and we agreed he was the sort of person who might try something so far out of line in an attempt to get the election overturned that they would have to pull some sort of emergency impeachment. Fantasy? Almost certainly, but this is Trump we're talking about.
Or invoke the 25th Amendment, on the basis that it is so-far out of line, the only reasonable expanation would be because the President must have had a mental breakdown and be incapable of carrying out the duties of POTUS... I'm sure they would have no trouble finding a doctor to certify that!
Of course, many of us know he has been incapable of carrying out the duties of POTUS since the day he was elected.
