During her weekly press conference on Thursday Nancy Pelosi said she and the Democrats were going to discuss the 25th Amendment and the possibility of removing President Trump from office.

The speaker has now introduced legislation to empower Congress to make this a reality.

According to Town Hall:

Speaker Pelosi hinted on Thursday that she will be discussing the 25th Amendment. Along with Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin, the speaker will introduce legislation establishing a congressional commission to evaluate the president’s mental fitness and physical health.

In introducing the legislation on Friday, Speaker Pelosi said that “a president’s fitness for office must be determined by science and facts.”

Speaker Pelosi insisted that her legislation is unrelated to the general election, which is now less than one month away:

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy called the legislation an “obvious political stunt” ahead of the general election. Speaker Pelosi does not have the ability to invoke the 25th Amendment herself.

There is no evidence to suggest that the health of the President in any way affects his ability to execute the duties of the Presidency. In fact, it is argued, that the media and the American people don’t need to know anything about the President other than if he is able to perform his duties or not.
