It’s Time!
It’s time to invoke the 25th Amendment. Trump has lost it! Whatever rationally he had is completely destroyed as evidenced by his statements last night telling people to inject themselves with disinfectant and using sunlight to heal themselves of this virus.
If you or I stood in a public forum and made those kind of statements he wagons would come up and we would be hospitalized for observation.
It’s time. I don’t know how much more the country can handle of this erratic behavior. I would not be surprised if trump doesn’t start a war, maybe nuclear, someplace to distract us from his behavior.
It’s time. Only the cowardice of some and lack of responsibility keep those cowards from from doing what should have been done months ago.
It’s time. It’s time to read and act on the 25th Amendment. We know the cabinet won’t do it but a “body of Congress” could. I call upon responsible members of Congress to do their Constitutional duty and declare a “written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment reads as follows:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
It’s time.
