Opponents of the president have for some time considered invoking the amendment. The Dems want that to happen fast because Sleepy Joe is out of it!!!”įILE - President Donald Trump walks out of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to return to the White House after receiving treatments for COVID-19 in Bethesda, Maryland, Oct. Trump took to Twitter after the legislation was unveiled, saying “Crazy Nancy Pelosi is looking at the 25th Amendment in order to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. And I think again in the age of COVID-19, where a lot of government actors who have been afflicted by it, we need to act.” Raskin, who is also a constitutional lawyer, said Trump’s COVID-19 infection “has focused everybody’s mind on the need for following through on this suggestion in the 25th Amendment that Congress set up its own body. “He will face the judgment of the voters, but he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents.” “This is not about President Trump,” she said. Pelosi also said the introduction of the measure was not directed at Trump but rather an effort to codify procedures to help protect the security of the country in the future.
“He has bragged about the medication he has taken and, again, there are articles by medical professionals saying this could … have an impact on judgment.”
Any of us who is under medication of that seriousness is in an altered state,” Pelosi told reporters Friday on Capitol Hill. Pelosi announced the legislation after she called on the Trump administration earlier this week to disclose more information about the health of President Donald Trump, who was recently diagnosed with COVID-19. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin unveiled legislation Friday to create a commission that would be empowered by the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to act in concert with the Vice President Mike Pence to strip the president of his duties.
