Serious question: If Pence and the cabinet 25-4s Trump, will they then fire Bannon?

While ideologically he might line up with some of them, I would think keeping Bannon around after removing Trump would be a distraction and a reminder of the chaos the two of them wrought on the country together.

Then again, we're talking about people like Mike Pence and Betsy DeVos, so common sense isn't necessarily something we should take for granted.

And this is all assuming they'd take the step to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

out as soon as possible. Pence would have his own guys. I think he would keep most of the Cabinet for a time.
