    None of them, though, except Vance, went as far as to say to the president that war was a “terrible idea,” according to the repor

    So instead of using his Constitutionally granted powers to stop trump for further ruining the USA’s global reputation, expending billions of US taxpayer dollars on a fool’s errand, and the immense loss of life in Iran for a nation that did not attack us, Vance let it happen. Vance could have invoked the 25th Amendment:

    “The 25th Amendment, Section 4, can be invoked by the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president 'unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”

    Instead Vance did nothing and watched people die and the USA be ruined.

          Name eight members of his Cabinet that you think would’ve voted to remove Trump.

            I don’t need to. That’s not my job. That’s Vance’s to protect our nation. The article says Rubio (Sec of State) was against the Iran war too, so that’s one that shares his view on the Iran war. Its up to them to talk to other members of the Cabinet. Alternatively Vance can go to Congress and seek trump’s removal through other Constitutional means. If he chooses not to, and it didn’t look like he did, he’s equally responsible for all of trumps crimes.
