Why is Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi pushing a change in the Twenty-Fifth Amendment when Trump will probably lose the popular and electoral vote by a large percentage? When does a President become dangerous to the survivability and welfare of the country? In an episode of “Madame Secretary” it was a brain tumor. The President wanted to go to a nuclear war with Iran.
We all know Donald Trump hasn’t been completely sane for many years with his narcissism, sexual abuse, and lack of morals. The voters either didn’t see those mental defects or didn’t believe them important enough to consider when they voted. However, his obvious paranoia was increased by the steroids he has been taking to combat the Coronavirus. They make one hyper-active and increase one’s natural tendencies. While on the steroid and until it is out of his system, Vice-President Pence should be President.
Both Trump and Biden are of an age several mental conditions could affect a President’s actions. We now know Reagan should not have been re-elected. Other Presidents have acted in a questionable manner at times but they were in office before we knew about mental illness. Wilson’s stroke would have qualified had the amendment been in effect then.
Neither loyalty to the President or partisanship should be involved in making the decision to replace a President. Only their oath to protect the country should be of consideration. The President of the United States is literally the most powerful person in the world and mental or personal conditions can destroy the planet in an hour! Remember, we were afraid Nixon would start a war rather than resign.
