Type “the 25th amendment” into a search engine and the results throw up a lot of stories about Donald Trump. This hitherto fairly obscure codicil to the work of America’s founding fathers was among the hot topics of conversation among leading Republicans at the Munich Security Conference.

Such is the surreal nature of the conversation within the Washington political establishment about Mr Trump’s steadily more surreal presidency.
在搜索引擎中輸入「第25修正案」,會有很多關於唐納•川普(Donald Trump)的新聞。針對美國開國元勳們制定的憲法出臺的這條迄今仍鮮爲人知的修正案,是參加慕尼黑安全會議(Munich Security Conference)的美國共和黨高層熱議的一個話題。也許,這條行文繁瑣的修正案提供了一條罷免總統的路徑。在華盛頓的政治建制派內部,圍繞川普嚴重超現實的總統職務的議論就帶著這樣的超現實本質。
