Part 4 of the 25th amendment says, in part, "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."

The "loon" or "imbecile" is Trump.

He's saying it's time to take this amendment out, dust it off, and use it.

Wrote it in a fit of disgust this AM.

Seems like every morning I get up, check the news and the disgust just grows.
