Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.) has introduced a bill that would create a congressional oversight commission that could declare the president incapacitated, leading to his removal from office under the Constitution's 25th Amendment.
Twenty-four House Democrats are now backing the bill, including the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. John Conyers (D., Mich.), Yahoo News reported Friday.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D., Fla.), the former chair of the Democratic National Committee, is also co-sponsoring the legislation.
The support from top Democrats for the bill comes despite House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and other Democratic leaders telling more ardent members of their caucus to stop talk of impeaching President Donald Trump.
"In case of emergency, break glass," Raskin told Yahoo News in an interview. "If you look at the record of things that have happened since January, it is truly a bizarre litany of events and outbursts."

Democrats are the cockroach in the potato salad.
These Traitors are just dying to be dying.
Continuing devolution to crazy.
Not one (R) listed. It’ll never make it to the floor.
LOL
The democrats continue on the path to their own destruction...
Knock of the nonsense!
The Constitution has procedures in place. Anything outside of that would be illegal and un-constitutional.
I think it’s very thoughtful of them that are providing us with a “List”.
Make the job a little easier. No need to ferret them out.
Dozens? How many? 6? 10? Nope. This is just 24 backbenchers trying to impress their constituents. Free publicity, that’s all.
Is this type of legislation even constitutional?? Given that the 25th amendment spells out procedures for the unlikely event of a president being unable to carry out his duties, wouldn’t it take another constitutional amendment to change that procedure which is already set up in that amendment???
Hillary Clinton literally feinted and was unconscious on 9/11. So if she would have became President, would this had applied to her? Hell no.
Hahahahaha! Conyers is currently the subject of an ethics probe.
I love Ann Coulter’s tweet: “Trump’s tweets are beneath the dignity of the White House, where presidents diddle interns with cigars and run guns to Mexico.”
Thought we already had such a panel with 535 members.
WON’T MAKE IT OUT OF COMMITTEE
Then let’s just set up a panel to declare Democrats war criminals, and have at it.
