BREAKING: Rep. Jamie Raskin introduces EXPLOSIVE bill to evaluate Trump under 25th Amendment authority — and 50 Democrats immediately sign on as co-sponsors Jamie Raskin has had enough of having a completely demented madman as president. So he's decided to do something about it — with 50 colleagues standing behind him.
The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee introduced legislation Tuesday to establish a "Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office" — a 17-member body authorized under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to determine whether Donald Trump is mentally and physically capable of serving as president.
The evidence Raskin cited in introducing the bill reads like a highlight reel of a presidency in freefall. Trump threatened to destroy "a whole civilization" over a shipping deadline he posted on Truth Social. He published an image of himself as Jesus Christ — then claimed he was portraying himself as a doctor. He attacked Pope Leo, the first American pope in history. He launched an unauthorized war in Iran without a congressional vote, in violation of the War Powers Act. He nearly blurted out classified troop numbers at a press conference before his own Joint Chiefs chair had to stop him. He set four consecutive deadlines against Iran and backed down from every single one.
"Public trust in Donald Trump's ability to meet the duties of his office has dropped to unprecedented lows," Raskin said. "We are at a dangerous precipice, and it is now a matter of national security for Congress to fulfill its responsibilities under the 25th Amendment."
Let's be honest about the math. The 25th Amendment has never been used to end a presidency. It would require JD Vance and a majority of Trump's own cabinet to declare him unfit — the same cabinet that paid $35 million to buy their jobs and has spent months nodding along to everything Trump says. Then, if Trump disputed it — which he would, loudly, on Truth Social, probably while posting another Jesus picture — two-thirds of both chambers of Congress would have to agree. That's a higher bar than impeachment.
Raskin knows this bill won't remove Trump tomorrow. That's not entirely the point. The point is to force a conversation that the White House desperately does not want to have — about a 79-year-old man who is threatening civilizational annihilation on social media, comparing himself to Jesus, ignoring his own generals, hiding war casualties, and calling his diplomatic strategy "J.D. and Steve and Jared."
The White House response to Raskin's earlier request for a cognitive evaluation was: "Lightweight Jamie Raskin is a stupid person's idea of a smart person." Which is obviously not the response everyone would like to see: "The president will be happy to take a cognitive test."
Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana reassured everyone that Trump is "one of the greatest presidents our nation has ever seen" and is "making the entire planet safer" — this being the same planet where Austria, Italy, and Spain have closed their airspace to American warplanes, and allies believe America has "lost its mind."
Fifty Democratic co-sponsors. A formal bill. A 72-hour medical examination requirement. And a president who responded to questions about his mental fitness by posting a picture of himself as Jesus.
Who still thinks we don’t need a commission like Raskin and his co-sponsors have proposed?
