Raskin Pushes Bipartisan Commission to Assess Presidential Fitness Under the 25th Amendment

Ranking Member Jamie Raskin introduced a bipartisan bill to create the Commission on Presidential Capacity to discharge the powers of the presidency under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. The independent body would work with the Vice President, with 16 members (four retired executive-branch officials from each side and four physicians and four psychiatrists from each party) selecting a 17th chair. It could be activated by Congress through a concurrent resolution, and if incapacity is found, the Vice President would become Acting President. The proposal aims to ensure continuity of government amid concerns about the President’s cognitive fitness and volatile public remarks, and follows Raskin’s call for a formal evaluation.”,

Democrats introduced a 10-page bill to create a 17-member Section 4 commission that would medically evaluate the president for incapacity; with appointments split between Democrats and Republicans and a chair chosen by the panel, the findings could lead to temporary removal if the vice president agrees, followed by a two-thirds congressional vote for permanent removal—an unlikely outcome even if the measure advances.

Brennan urges 25th Amendment move amid Trump's Iran rhetoric

Former CIA Director John Brennan argues that President Trump is unfit for office and that the 25th Amendment was written with him in mind, citing Trump’s volatile Iran threats. More than 70 Democrats have supported invoking the amendment, though its chances are slim due to cabinet loyalty and presidential backing. Brennan is also under an ongoing DOJ inquiry, a context that underscores the political sting of his call in contrast to past related prosecutions (Comey’s charges were later dropped).
