Veteran journalist Carl Bernstein on Thursday called for Congress to hold hearings on President Trump's fitness for office.
"What we need here are, finally, I think, some hearings in which an executive session or open session, those around the president of the United States are questioned about the fitness of Trump to be the president of the United States," Bernstein, a CNN political analyst, said on the network.
Bernstein justified his call by citing excerpts from former reporting partner Bob Woodward's new book and an op-ed from an anonymous senior Trump administration official who argued that the president's actions are "detrimental" to the health of the nation.
Both the book and the op-ed have painted a portrait of an administration that is increasingly at odds with the president's impulses.
"What's really going on here is that Woodward's book, and the contents of what is in the anonymous piece in The New York Times is that those closest to the president of the United States are saying we must save the country from the president," Berstein said.
On Wednesday, a senior Trump administration official wrote an anonymous op-ed in the Times in which they blasted the president's "amorality" and criticized him as anti-trade and anti-democracy.
"The root of the problem is the president’s amorality. Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision making," the official wrote, adding that aides work around Trump to make sure his desires are not enforced.
Similarly, Woodward's book, “Fear: Trump in the White House," reported that the White House was having a “nervous breakdown” under Trump, offering various anecdotes of aides trying to blunt decisions by Trump.
Among the anecdotes, former top economic adviser Gary Cohn is reported to have removed paperwork, unnoticed, from Trump’s desk that the president intended to sign to withdraw the U.S. from trade agreements.
Trump and the White House have responded by blasting both Woodward and The New York Times. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called on the anonymous official to resign.
"I’m draining the Swamp, and the Swamp is trying to fight back," Trump tweeted Wednesday night. "Don’t worry, we will win!"
Bernstein's call has been echoed by others, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
"If senior administration officials think the president of the United States is not able to do his job, then they should invoke the 25th Amendment," Warren told CNN.
They just rant on CNN.
HA HA HA HA HA.

They should hold hearings on Bernstein’s fitness to be a journalist.
“Veteran journalist Carl Bernstein on Thursday called for Congress to hold hearings on President Trump’s fitness for office.”
There has already been a determination on that Carl.
It was called an election. Trump won.
Here's a clue....not on your f'n life.
Trump scored 30/30 in a cognitive test
Bernstein is a liar.
Prove me wrong, because he certainly cannot prove himself right.
What an arrogant untalented POS.
The Rats and the fake news media can’t wait two years.
Thaf man just tortures them to deafh. ROFLMAO!!!
Free Republoc should have hearing on getting Woolworth and Bernstein in a room together for a sock full or quarters blanket party.
I will be attending and will bring the sock and quarters!
They are getting away with slander and murder and our representatives are NO WHERE INSIGHT BACKING up our president...just look at the way they are letting the evil disgusting bastard RATS circus handling of the confirmation hearings!! Freakin unreal!
Even better than that, we could have a national referendum in 2020 to decide if Trump is fit to serve a second term. We could call it an “election”.
I doubt Bernstein will be happy with how that turns out.
I don't remember reading that part of Article 1.
Carl Bernstein, carrier pidgeon for the deep state. Hiding behind the first amendment again, I see. Commie bastard.
When we talk about screaming, raving lunatics - Trump’s enemies need to go look in the mirror.
Donald J. Trump ... living rent free in leftist minds ... daily
It sure isn’t in the 25th Amendment.
The man who appeared at tonight’s MT rally had his full marbles.
Try it, ***hole.
Just try it.

They can’t get him out of their heads. They were never this obsessed with Ronald Reagan.
