A Democratic congressman has proposed convening a special committee of psychiatrists and other doctors whose job would be to determine if President Donald Trump is fit to serve in the Oval Office.
Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, who also teaches constitutional law at American University, has predictably failed to attract any Republicans to his banner.
But the U.S. Constitution's 25th Amendment does allow for a majority of the president's cabinet, or 'such other body as Congress may by law provide,' to decide if an Oval Office occupant is unable to carry out his duties – and then to put it to a full congressional vote.
Vice President Mike Pence would also have to agree, which could slow down the process – or speed it up if he wanted the levers of power for himself.
The 25th Amendment has been around since shortly after the John F. Kennedy assassination, but Congress has never formed its own committee in case it's needed to judge a president's mental health.

Good luck with that.
There would be a million Trump supporters with pitch forks
to prevent that from happening.
As an attorney myself, I can tell you that is very smart. They very often have little common sense.
I’ll leave the pitchfork at home. I’ll bring my M-14 and 1911 instead.
WOW! That tells me that piece of paper is worthless, almost like Obama’s degree from Harvard. Paid for by NWO or SOROS.
Good post. I have personally done business with Trump. He was affable, honest and did what he said he was going to do when he said he was going to do it. It couldn’t have been a better transaction.
These rabid Trump haters should be handled exactly like a rabid dog.
“did the rover take a picture of the flag when Neil Armstrong walked on Mars?”
She looka like a man.
“...Two dozen Democrats...”
So ... what if a couple million of us on the Right “get behind” the idea of removing Democrats.... Just sayin’....
Agree totally. This is simply a “sell more newspapers” BS fake news story.
We’re well beyond voting them out, friend.
“...Russia was a FAIL. Now this. Another fail. Delusional....”
Next week, it’ll be something else.
He’s living in their heads rent-free, 24-7. And he’s laughing his ass off at them.
So it’s no wonder their psychopaths right now... they HATE being ridiculed.
Beautiful thing to see.
The “court” system in Montgomery County, Maryland is a joke.
It is not a court system, but a political system
No! I wish i was Ablow! Here is the link:

Yep. I’ve noticed Russia isn’t in the news much these days. Soon some guy from Trump’s Kindergarten days will come forward and say Trump kicked over his sand castle in the sand box
The democrats are the Jackasshole party, and have become psychopaths.
So we should treat them that way.
The only response they should ever get from us is “GFYourself”.
Proving once again that Republicans can’t “work with” the Democrats. They are the enemy.
Thanks!
This is a classic Freudian projection of their own insanity upon a rejected father figure. Reality is going to bite them on the butt soooo big...
