This bill would create an 11-person panel to evaluate the fitness of the President.

Hi Laz. I hope you are well. When I heard the SOTH refer to the 25th today, I took the Liberty to look. I was like you, not remembering the exact language. Section 4 provides for an additional body other than just the cabinet. It says:
“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.”
The Never-Trumper cocktail-party conservatives have all had their chance to end the Trump Administration after the Mueller saga. FakePeachment, and daily relentless attacks. When they had their chance in front of the most traitorous Supreme Court Chief Justice Johnny Bob, they broke wind then voted to acquit him. They helped build the wall, they sustained him on tax cuts, and treaties. They reload the judiciary to begin clearing out and balance the diseased liberals lapping at Pelosi’s hand. They must know something that the rat’s already know = America wants DJT are trying to live with the distaste for him and us.
They have *ZERO* intention of letting that happen again.

I agree with you. They are pulling out all stops to make sure. Probably much more to come.
You not alone let the shooting begin
apparently they don’t think they’ll win.
This is not going to end well for them.
ME = GPE + KE
;-)
The godless, vile, demonic Botoxian did no come up this projected crap by itself.
No, I smell Soros and the obama shadow government giving guidance.
Pence must have cleaned house so bad last night that Satan and his minions have gone to their Plan F.
“Mark Levin just had Kevin McCarthy (House minority leader) on, and he’s forming a group together to consider the competence of Pelosi to continue as Speaker. I need to buy more popcorn. “
For real?
That’s AWESOME!!
I think it’s time for Nasty Pelosi to be impeached.
You have to hand it to the democrats; they never let a molecule zip by without catching it and adding a spin.
On the other hand, Attorney General Barr, sitting like a fat Buddha on a mountain of treasonous evidence against democrats, sniffs around for a Republican malefactor to righteously prosecute.
Not necessarily true. Section 4 states that the VP and a majority of the principal officers in charge of executive departments or such body as Congress may by law provide...
Of course it’s the VP AND such other body that Congress provides by law, meaning Pence would have to go along, both the House and Senate would have to pass a bill to designate a body, and Trump would have to sign the bill (or both houses vote by 2/3 majority to override a veto). Not likely, but Congress can play a role in the 25A process.
Yeah, during the show's first hour.
If you thought it was “odd” that so many close to the President got Covid, this just adds to it.
Post of the day....
I am beyond sickened and beyond words that she blamed Trump
And I cannot think about what she did too long while on FR or I will post something that will get me booted before the election.
And I love this site and she’s not worth it.
Excellent point — and one that I’d forgotten about. Thanks for the correction! :-)
Not to sound like a groupie, but if anyone can keep the pendulum from breaking off, I figure it’s gonna be our Pres. Trump.
Evidently they have no need to actually read the 25th as written, but are proceeding according to how they imagine it should have been written
the 25th says its the Cabinet that decides the POTUS fitness to serve.
These people are dangerous...They know they will lose very bad this fall and are attempting once again to overthrow the government.
Good grief, when will the good guys take the gloves off?
