She's been VERY outspoken and critical of Trump and I'm pretty sure she acknolwedged that he didn't write the words that were coming out of the teleprompter and that he was forced to say them.

I’m not constitutional scholar by any means, but the 25th amendment reads a bit different to me. Quote 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. Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days 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. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office. Seems pretty straightforward to me (emphasis mine) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we are ever worried about a cabinet siding with an insane president (like that would ever happen!), than a neutral body might be useful in such situations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just now, SuperSpreader said: Impeaching will fail in the Senate And this wouldn't? It would almost certainly require a veto override and probably overcoming a filibuster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
