Section 4, 25th Amendment - Relieving Queeg of Command

"...Trump too has a psychopathic personality: a paranoid with obsessive-compulsive syndrome. The best term that describes Trump is “malignant narcissist.” Trump’s erratic behavior at his first press conference reinforces the fear that all his negative campaign rhetoric was not mere bluster. In that press conference, and in his midnight tweets, Trump has attacked the free press, our American intelligence community, supported Russia, conflated the truth and violated his campaign promises not to use the office of the presidency to make a buck for himself and his family."

What is the remedy for America’s Trump dilemma? This brings us back to Haughness’s point about preparing in advance, now, to deal with the true threat posed by President Trump.

Unfortunately, there is no provision for popular recall of a disabled president, but the 25th Amendment, section 4, provides for a succession of presidential power where it has been determined that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. This Amendment represents a parallel to Article 184 of Navy Regulations.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence and our elected congressmen, including McCarthy, need to prepare immediately to deal with Trump’s projected and virtually assured inability to serve our country as a rational, ethical and safe president.Keying on Barack Obama’s Farewell Address, all American citizens and true patriots need to support ways and means to make America safe again. We can’t afford to await the passage of four years. We can’t waste any time."
