Like Trump, López Obrador thinks traditional media outlets are biased against him, and like Trump, the Mexican president has used the term “fake news,” or Spanish variants of it.

Blackman said if eight of the 15 cabinet members and the vice president agree the president cannot discharge the duties of the office, the president is relieved of power. “They would need two-thirds in the House and two-thirds in the Senate to vote for removal,” Blackman said. The law also allows the president to nominate a vice president in the event of a vacancy in that office.
