24 House Democrats, including the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, are backing a bill that would create a congressional “oversight” commission that could declare the president incapacitated, leading to his removal from office under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The bill picked up three more supporters following Trump's Thursday morning tweets about Mika Brzezinski.
Quote:
The commission would be a nonpartisan panel appointed by congressional leaders composed of four physicians, four psychiatrists and three others — such as former presidents, vice presidents or other former senior U.S. government officials. The commission, if directed by Congress through a concurrent resolution, would be empowered to conduct an examination of the president “to determine whether the president is incapacitated, either mentally or physically.”
Of course, in the Republican held Congress this is a longshot, and it would be a high hurdle to jump, but we need to at least begin a public dialogue about the obvious mental health issues that our president is displaying.
Backers of the bill say it's been getting increased interest in the House among colleagues, including Republicans who have privately approached them about it on the House floor, though they feel they can't publicly support it--yet.

I think it would only take one unacceptable action from Trump---like punching someone in the face, pushing his wife down the stairs---for Congress to get enough support to for the bill. It's just a matter of time before the thin-skinned, self-adsorbed president does something totally unacceptable for someone sitting in the Oval Office.

Is Trump Fit For Office?
