Raskin offers bill setting up 25th Amendment process to remove Trump from office [View all]

Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, introduced a bill on Tuesday that seeks to kickstart the removal of President Donald Trump through the 25th Amendment — a longshot effort that, while unlikely to succeed, aims to put renewed focus on the president’s mental fitness and recent rhetoric.
The legislation, which was offered with 50 Democratic co-sponsors, would establish a “Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office.” That Commission would be composed of 17 members tasked with determining whether the president is incapacitated — “either mentally or physically” — and able to discharge the powers and duties of office, as called for in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
In introducing the bill, Raskin pointed to Trump’s recent rhetoric on the war in Iran, his actions in the Middle East and the photo he posted on social media depicting himself as Jesus. (Trump later claimed he was portraying himself as a doctor.)
“Public trust in Donald Trump’s ability to meet the duties of his office has dropped to unprecedented lows as he threatens to destroy entire civilizations, unleashes chaos in the Middle East while violating Congressional war powers, aggressively insults the Pope of the Catholic Church and sends out artistic renderings on-line likening himself to Jesus Christ,” Raskin said in a statement.
