Rep. Hakeem Jeffries Calls on Trump's Cabinet

to Consider 25th Amendment After Yesterday’s Press Conference.
APRIL 19, 2020

'Yesterday’s press conference wasn’t the most insane Trump press conference, it is impossible to ever say one clears a bar to that degree. But it was certainly one of the most insane. Trump took to the podium with nothing to say. He rambled and mumbled, spouting ridiculous numbers that have no meaning, such as “We issued 24.5 million N-95 masks …” and attacked Democrats, particularly President Obama, telling the nation that we had “no medical” at one point.

It was a ridiculous enough spectacle that Hakeem Jeffries, the rising House star from New York, chairman of the Democratic Caucus, and impeachment team member, called upon the cabinet to consider invoking the 25th Amendment.

The 25th Amendment contemplates removing the president from office because he lacks the mental capacity or physical health to discharge the duties of the office. It takes a majority vote from among the Vice President and the cabinet to start the process. It is quite an incendiary charge for a major politician to publicly question a president’s fitness.

But not enough people are talking about Trump’s fitness to hold office. If everyone in the nation were forced to sit down and watch every single one of his press conferences or rallies, most people would have such concerns, even Republicans, though Republicans might well choose to keep their mouths shut about them.

The people that do watch them fully and have some expertise have serious concerns:'>>>
