2 dozen Democrats lay foundation for removing Trump for being mentally 'incapacitated' (TR)
Daily Mail ^ | 6-30-2017 | David martosko

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.

A Democratic congressman, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin 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. He has a really big nose.

From his Wikipedia page:

On March 1, 2006, during a Maryland State Senate hearing regarding same-sex marriage, Raskin, speaking as a constitutional law expert, told a lawmaker, "People place their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution; they don't put their hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

How about we lynch his treasonous commie a$$ as an object lesson? That he actually believes that he, as a traitorous congressman, would survive the overthrow of the Constitution is an indication of just how stupid this dhimmi is.

Yeah, I really doubt this guy and his “committee of psychiatrists” could fight their way out of a wet paper sack. That’s why they resort to feminine methods of fighting— like the daily psyops we have to put up. In a fist fight, these guys would all not be here in about 10 minutes

Ultimately they would have to have two-thirds of both the House and the Senate to actually declare Trump disabled and have him removed - otherwise he stays - when you try to kill the king, you’d better be sure that you kill him - or else.....

A coup by any other name is still a coup.

Treason.

This libtard should be swinging from the tallest tree in his moonbat district.

Do these ahole “congressman” actually believe that a majority of the president’s cabinet and Vice President Pence would be willing to sign on to this unmitigated bullcrap?

I love the comments below the article. My favorite:

Congress is the last group of people I would ever want to determine the mental capacity of the Peoples choice as President. Get this idiot a helmet before he hurts himself.

Well, it's nice that the Democrats are reading the Constitution. After the election, they read the 12th Amendment and started begging Republican Electors to go rogue by not voting for Trump. Two did so, but five Democratic Electors went rogue and did not vote for the Wicked Witch.

It appears they have now turned a few pages and found the 25th Amendment. First, invoking Section 4 of the 25th Amendment would result in VP Pence becoming the Acting President. He would not become President nor would Trump be removed from office. Next, this is an idiotic idea. VP Pence and the Cabinet will not declare President Trump to be disabled.

Message to Democrats: Trump won, he's President, get over it.

Trump would be 100% justified in having Jamie Raskin arrested and put before a military tribunal at GITMO. Raskin is clearly organizing a treasonous conspiracy. As the ring leader he should be declared an enemy combatant and taken into custody.
