Trade: Trump removed via 25th Amendment before 2027?

9% YES 91% NO

Opened · Settles

Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump is formally removed from the office of the President of the United States by means of the process outlined in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If the Vice President becomes Acting President via the process outlined in Section 3 of the 25th Amendment, it will not effect the resolution of this market. Only Trump’s removal from office via the process outlined in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment will qualify for a "Yes" resolution.

Market outcomes

Trump removed via 25th Amendment before 2027? 9% YES92% NO

Market context

The 25th Amendment Section 4 removal process requires the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the President unfit, followed by Congressional supermajority confirmation within 21 days. This mechanism has never been invoked in American history. The current 9% implied probability on Polymarket reflects the substantial procedural and political barriers to formal removal, with the order book pricing in both the technical difficulty and the unprecedented nature of such action.

Historical precedent offers limited guidance. Section 4 was designed for scenarios of severe incapacity—the closest analogue being President Reagan's temporary transfer of power under Section 3 in 1985 during surgery, which was voluntary and brief. No sitting President has faced a genuine removal attempt via Section 4. The mechanism's disuse reflects its extreme political cost: Cabinet members would need to publicly declare the President unfit, risking party fracture and constitutional crisis. Even during periods of significant presidential controversy, Congress and Cabinet have historically preferred impeachment or electoral remedies.

Traders should monitor Cabinet stability and any statements from senior officials regarding presidential fitness. Recent reporting on Trump's health and cognitive assessments would likely trigger market movement, though such evaluations remain contested and politically charged. The timeline is constrained: any removal attempt must conclude by 31 December 2026, leaving limited window for the multi-stage process. The probability reflects that whilst Section 4 exists as constitutional mechanism, the political consensus required for invocation remains extraordinarily difficult to assemble under any realistic scenario within the settlement period.

How this market resolves

How to trade this market step by step

The mechanics for trading "Trump removed via 25th Amendment before 2027?" are the same as any other PolyGram political event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.

  1. Sign in on polygram.ink with your email — no full KYC under $1,500 lifetime trading volume.
  2. Deposit USDC on Polygon (lowest fees, ~$0.01 per transaction) or Ethereum. Funds credit after 12 confirmations.
  3. Pick a side. Buy YES if you believe the event will happen; buy NO if you think it won't. The current YES price reflects the market's collective probability.
  4. Size your position. If you stake 100 USDC at 9% YES, you'll receive shares that pay $1111 if YES resolves true — a 1011% gross return. If NO resolves, your shares are worth $0.
  5. Set risk controls (optional). Stop-loss, take-profit, and limit-order types all supported. Use the trade ticket's slippage box to cap your maximum entry price.
  6. Wait for resolution. When the event resolves on-chain via the UMA optimistic oracle, the winning side settles to 100¢ automatically and USDC hits your balance within seconds. Withdrawable to any wallet you control.

How active is this market?

$24K in lifetime turnover and $24K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for politics contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.

Last 24 hours alone saw $203 in turnover, consistent with the market's lifetime daily-average pace.

The market has been open for 6 months — long enough that the order book is mature and price is well-anchored to fundamentals.

Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.

Key terms

YES / NO share
A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

Central limit order book. The matching engine that pairs YES buyers with NO buyers (effectively the same trade). Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon executes trades on-chain via the conditional-tokens framework.
Liquidity
USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.
UMA optimistic oracle
The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.
Slippage
The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.
Conditional token
ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

Risk and regulatory note

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
