Raskin Proposes New Health Commission for POTUS Fitness Under 25th Amendment [View all]

The way I understand this is the Dems working on the 25th effort have studied the Constitution and found it is not necessary for the Cabinet to vote on disqualifying trump. An option is to have a Congressional committee. That is why Raskin is proposing this new health commission.

The story says it is still a long shot, but as trump gets crazier and crazier with stuff like AI impersonations of himself as Jesus, it could become more viable.

Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) has introduced new legislation that would make it easier to invoke a little-known constitutional provision to remove the president of the United States, if it is determined that they can no longer function in the role for reasons related to their physical or mental health.

The story then explains the current situation, which requires half the cabinet and vice-presidential vote to remove him.
This is Raskin's proposal, which is allowable under the Constitution.

Raskin’s bill would change that by creating a commission on health to determine the fitness of a president whenever its members (selected in a bipartisan fashion by the majority and minority leaders of both houses of Congress) believe that such a determination is necessary.

The other method would still exist. This would be another option.
