* 50 House Democrats are backing the bill amid concerns about Trump’s “erratic” behavior.
* The bill was released by House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin on Tuesday after he sounded the alarms on Trump’s behavior last week and called for the president to take a cognitive test and publicly release the results.
* The legislation establishes a Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office, which is the body and process outlined in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.

Impeachment would be more likely to work and it would be more effective.

Good for them. It’s important to take a stand. Trump is obviously nuts and congress needs to use any and every means available to attempt to remove him.
Don’t bother posting a bunch of replies telling me that it’s not going to work, it’s useless, etc. i don’t care.

I can only imagine Vance, Peter Thiel & Musk have talked about this scenario since day one of Trump 2.0

How does this even work? The 25th is triggered by the vice president and half of Trump’s cabinet before it ever gets to the senate of congress. What is a congressional bid going to prove?
Maybe the article explains it? I’m not paying to get past the paywall.

For the 14 months since he was sworn in: “why don’t the Dems do something, anything to at least get Rs on record…”
Today: “25th and Impeachment are unrealistic. It’s dumb to even try.”

At some point somebody had to explain the 25th Amendment to Trump, which would’ve been hilarious to witness

For the 25th you need 2/3 of the House and the Senate. Good fuggin luck

God, I hope they get him out of there and send a message to any future Presidential candidates to let them know they’re not going to be able to get away with shit like this guy has.

Not gonna happen. We’re stuck with this asshole until his comobidities have a family reunion.

It’ll never happen. You need his cabinet to be on board. His cabinet wears trumps clown shoes to avoid his wrath

Go for it Donald, here is a first you can take all to yourself, the first out by the 25th.

What’s that? Something that will never happen and they will weekend bernies his orange ass until his empty pumpkin head falls off his shoulders on live TV?

They need to impeach him for treason. The man has defied his oath to office.

What’s so completely fucked is that in my home state of KY, GOP Senate candidates are STILL trying to out Trump-suck each other. How the fuck could you live with yourself because at this point the fallout is if, not when. Even as fucked as our system is surely to God that has to be obvious by now, Trump is circling the drain in MULTIPLE ways, losing his most ardent supporters. WTF even is this?

25th Amendment?

Trump is unfit for office. Frankly he is unfit to do anything reasonable

Mommy said I was going to get to post the 25th amendment cope this week!
But in all seriousness, isnt this like the 2725th article saying trump is facing consequences for something (when we know he isnt)

Believe it when it’s fully in motion his ass on the way out the door.

He could literally have a stroke and babble full nonsense.
I have zero doubt they would justify not using it with some mental gymnastics. They will never invoke it. Ever.

If they have the votes for this, they have the vote for impeachment and conviction. This is a crazy long-shot which won’t work. Why force yourself to get 2/3rd votes in the House when impeachment is simple majority?

Twatter is going crazy over this – the bot network has been activated and it’s really ramped up in a matter of minutes. You can tell it’s all bot activity by the same format for the messages, all linking to the same story then adding a customized pithy comment. Dozens upon dozens of comments all in a row, 100% in unison. Bot bot bot bot.
I usually don’t see such a hair-trigger response like this. This action has them spooked.
