Time for Amendment 25?
 
"4. 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."

<<<wonders where the primitives suddenly got this notion--obviously plucked it out of thin air--that there's something wrong with PRESIDENT Trump.

Let's see how many weeks (like this past one) it takes, how many thoughtless 'bloopers' causing huge disruptions such as we see now.

How long will it take pence 'and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide.'

And here's dear old Big Mo:

4. Yes, and a question.

Does anyone know who are the principle officers "or such other body" defined in federal law?

Assuming Congress has gone to the trouble to define it. If they haven't, then I assume this means a majority of Cabinet plus the veep.

6. Excellent!

Having studied law there, I'll flatter myself and say I'd be there too (but for a few hundred miles!)
Oh wow, she studied law, I'll bet she's a lawyer!

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

It's really eerie, the way the primitives hoist a banner in unison about something.  It's as if they're just sitting around, waiting for some higher intelligence to tell them what to do, and how to do it.

So now they got this 25th amendment thing going, as usual citing no evidence it's appropriate for using against PRESIDENT Trump; they demand it be used simply because they don't like him.

Well, whoop-dee-doo.  There were plenty of times his predecessor should've been removed from office due to incompetence or corruption or illegal actions.

One wonders what their next toy's going to be, used unanimously and mindlessly as this one.

Blah, blah,blah! Trump is a psychopath! Bush is an idiot! Bush (the Elder) won his Distinguished Flying Cross by abandoning a perfectly healthy TBM Avenger and killing one of his crewman! Reagan is a functional illiterate!

Heard this SHIT before. Reagan won 2 terms, morons! G. H. W. Bush crushed Dukakis, but lost in 1992 because he shot off his own feet. G. W. Bush won 2 terms. How many times will you Prog-Morons try this shtick before you realize that it hurts you and your candidates by making you look like the morons you are?!
