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.

The commie ‘RATS are looking for an ass kicking. America’s patience with these commie b*tches is wearing very thin. Americans had to put up with eight miserable years of their boy. It’s their turn.
Does anyone have names and e-mail addresses for these clowns?
Sounds like a vote of confidence.
How Stalinist of the Left.
Hahahah, they couldn’t even get the cabinet to do that in “24”. As if Pence could govern if he did that. These people really are having a tough time accepting what happened in November
they ain’t gonna be happy until they start a shooting war. They have already fired the first rounds.
The Democrats really need to change their party name. They are extremely anti-democratic. If they see an election they didn’t like, they are more than eager to overturn it—the voters be damned.
Who is going to determine if this ‘RAT “special committee” members are all sane?
Who are these people? Their sanity is in doubt.
Coming from the party of the KKK and the Kennedys and the Rapist!!
ATTENTION DEMOCRATS:
in the past, from time to time, I have voted for Democrats. The last few years, garbage like this has piled up to the point that it will be IMPOSSIBLE for me to ever vote for a Democrat.
You will NEVER WIN AGAIN without people like me. NEVER.

Does this mean they see the writing on the wall and are waving the white flag re: Russia?
Just more pandering to their idiotic and ignorant base. Kabuki theater, show and noise signifying nothing.
They see the TRUMP MOVEMENT & are scared to death of it! They need to cut the head off that MONSTER or Democrats might not win a Presidential Election for a long time
They are basically ready to give up all pretense that we still live in a free country. What they want is a Third World country, with them as the tyrants.
Kickin’ it Soviet Union style.
Futile even if successful. It’s just for show, or perhaps it’s an exercise in stupidity. Let’s assume that they’re successful in removing Trump. Mike Pence becomes President. For VP he nominates Pat Buchanan, or Sarah Palin, or Tony Perkins, or Louie Gohmert. Are the Democrat rabble-rousers any better off in advancing their agenda? No. They may have more approval from the anarchist wing of the Democrat Party, but that’s about it.
