to pull her and require a mandatory psychiatric evaluation before she returns to the floor. What is next? Will she one day stand on the floor and open fire with a bushmaster on everyone present? It could happen after looking at her behavior.

I'm sure anyone else would have reined her in a long time ago even a Republican, a sober one. Who takes charge if the Speaker can't fulfill his duties? I can't seem to find out through Google.

I'd like to see a major shakedown of drug and alcohol
use among politicians and their lackeys.
I am not opposed to drug and alcohol use but when
judgement is being impaired at work, this shouldn't
be acceptable.

(23,224 posts)Probably the House Majority Leader would step in (but he wouldn't be in the presidential succession chain; that's statutory, and specifies that the Senate President pro tem follows the Speaker.) Cantor is the majority leader, but he wouldn't intervene with Bachmann, since he's as nuts as she is.....
