No disagreement there - but we're not trying to recall him because of actions
he took, things he said, etc, etc.

Like I said, I think the US's federal constitution is a useful model here: it
has a very onerous process (impeachment and trial) with a high final bar
(2/3) for actions taken in response to what someone did/said, but a wholly
different, simpler and easier process (majority of Cabinet) for sidelining
someone because of incapacity.

And I doubt anyone here is seriously going to argue that Marshall is not
fulfulling his role...

Exactly.
