Raskin and other dumbasses supporting this measure don't seem to realize that with the House and Senate controlled by Republicans something like this will never pass. And the idea that Pence will take the lead on this is asinine.

Is it any wonder that Democrats are floundering in terms of how to deal with Trump and the Republican agenda? I guess they realize that impeachment will not fly so they are now relying on this idiotic measure.

Pointing to the outcry over President Donald Trump's latest controversial tweets, freshman Rep. Jamie Raskin is urging his colleagues to get behind a bill that could potentially oust the President if he was mentally or physically unfit.

The Maryland Democrat wants to create an 11-member commission made up of mostly physicians and psychiatrists -- more formally called the "Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity." The panel would carry out a medical examination and determine whether the President was physically or mentally able to do the job.

Two of the commission's members would also be former high ranking officials, such as presidents, vice presidents, attorneys general or secretaries of state.

It's a provocative and long-shot effort, but Raskin is citing as his legal backup the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, which was adopted in 1967 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to establish procedure in the case a president is incapacitated. About two dozen Democrats have signed on to the effort as of Thursday.
Raskin is zeroing in on one section of that constitutional amendment, which allows the vice president to assume powers if either the majority of the Cabinet or "such other body as Congress" finds that the President is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of office." (The vice president would also have to agree to the assessment of the President's abilities.) Raskin is proposing his commission to serve as that "body."

The President could appeal the decision, and a whopping two-thirds of both the House and the Senate would then need to agree with the commission's assessment in order to keep the President out of office. If two-thirds fail to agree, then the President would be allowed to resume the powers and duties of the office.

The longer your posts, the more desperate you sound.

Your attempt at being pithy just makes you come across as moronic.

If you can't explain your point in a few sentences, then it probably isn't very strong.

Also, if he's so fit to serve, why not just take a weekend off from golf and violating the emoluments clause and submit to a psychiatric evaluation? If he's not experiencing the dementia that his behavior, speech, and tweets would suggest, there's no harm.

Oh, I don't know. Jamie Raskin won his House seat in November 2016 with 59% of the vote. What percent of the vote did Donald Trump get?

Your representative of why America is flowing down shit river. You're too dumb to vote.

A con artist like Raskin has ability to gaining CONfidence of his marks. All con artists are sociopaths. That makes Raskin dangerous to America.

Number of votes he was able to dupe reveals just how good a con artist he is.

Please, wipe the spittle from your lips and find a good therapist.

Agreed, but we have to let the rubes vent. They get their heads so full of Fox News fluff this is like a steam release valve.

Sort of like how House Republicans voted 50 times to repeal Obamacare (until this month when they had the actual power to do it and were then too scared to act.)

Sometimes you have to do what is right, even if the odds for success are slight. I'm a Republican in Maryland who didn't vote for Raskin, but I thank him for this action.

lol... not to Trump. He still can't stand that he lost the popular vote by such a large margin. He is vain and fame hungry. So says people who have worked for him. I assume you have never worked with him, so I'll take their word over your's about his big ego and narcissism.

Were you also a Republican when Harry Reid and the Democrat senate didn't pass a budget for five years?

I don't know if it's a publicity stunt. But I do know that people who keep quiet about corruption and evils in this world are just as guilty.

Imagine if someone said to MLK that him making speeches and marching won't do anything, that it won't bring about any change, and he just capitulated to the evils in our society back then.
