An honest question: how did Pelosi get over the obvious failing brain symptoms she showed last year. “I refuse to go into that White House and meet with President Bush again.”
And dozens of funny or sad times when she lost her train of thought in mid-sentence or said nonsensical words in others.

Is her current type of memory and brain function drug that good? We’ll have to get an Rx ourselves if an when we get to be in her condition.

Frankly, the dems currently are in decent shape for the election - we face an uphill next three weeks. So, why would the dems go here, unless they felt they had to? At first blush, this is a breathtakingly looser issue for them. Seven million plus Americans have had and recovered from Covid. That makes them incompetent?

Please Nancy...pursue this.

Section 4

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.

Hmmmm. Unless Nancy is looking at an alternate Constitution, she has no role at all. Congress, both houses, aren't involved unless the President is removed by the executive branch then resumes the office by virtue of his own judgement, at which point the Congress has 3 weeks to take it up. Even if they are locked down.

If the Democrats were 14-16 points ahead in the polls like CNN and NBC say they are they wouldn’t care about the 25th amendment. Trump must be heading for a landslide!

As I understand it, isn’t it the President’s staff that make
that determination? San Fran Nan has been holding out hope
the 25th Amendment would be called for for nearly three
years and nine months now. No sale!

Oh yeah, that thing that is harder than impeachment? Go for it.
You only need his cabinet and veep to agree and for Trump not to override it with a letter. A letter that YOU can only override with 2/3 of both houses.

Dingbat.

Pelosi refers to Trump as being in a “altered” state of mind … OK cue-up Pelosi’s snit-fit at the President's State of the Union back in early February. Tearing up his speech in front of millions watching, both here & around the world, was reprehensible and disrespectful. The hatred displayed in her countenance was borderline demonic … that qualifies as a “altered” state. Along the line of Linda Blair in The Exorcist.

Trump just posted another video to Twitter a few minutes ago. He does not sound like a man who is losing his marbles.

At some point irresponsible statements like this should be considered conspiracy to commit treason. How is this ANY different than the speech of Wittmer’s aspiring kidnappers?????????

25th is well designed for a true disability such as a stroke, etc. It is purposely designed to not be easy to use as an ersatz impeachment. It’s much tougher.

Gives me hope after yesterday’s poll news although I have never believed the polls. Just supports my gut feeling based on voter enthusiasm.

“ The marxist “Democratic” Party has really gone off the rails. What a despicable crew they are.”
************

Pelosi is just running a diversion to take the spotlight off of spending bill issues. She knows public sentiment has shifted to favor Republicans.

Pelosi’s job is to undermine the GOP...in fact, the Speaker is undermining the American People. Perhaps Ms. Pelosi should have her health checked, she doesn’t look at all well.....
