On January 30, 2017 — ten days into the Trump presidency — Rosa Brooks published an article in Foreign Policy titled "3 Ways to Get Rid of President Trump Before 2020." She outlined four scenarios for removing the new president from office: impeachment, the 25th Amendment, cabinet revolt, and a military coup. Of the last option, Brooks wrote that it was "a possibility that until recently I would have said was unthinkable in the United States of America."
Brooks was a former Counselor to the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy at the Pentagon, where she reported to Michele Flournoy from 2009 to 2011. Before that, she served as Special Counsel to the President at the Open Society Institute — the predecessor name for George Soros's Open Society Foundations. After leaving government, she went to Georgetown Law, where she holds the Scott K. Ginsburg Chair in Law and Policy
.
Within the same year of her article, a new organization was quietly incorporated. National Security Action was incorporated in 2017 and launched publicly on February 2018 . Its co-chairs were Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy national security advisor, and Jake Sullivan, who would become Biden's national security advisor. Rosa Brooks sat on its advisory council. So did approximately sixty other people — 88.6% of them Obama administration alumni.
