6. yes, but....

...different kinds of dementia can have different effects on one's behavior.

In one sense, you're right - it doesn't matter. His inability to function as president is as obvious as an egret on a black-sand beach. He needs to be 25thed out of office immediately, whether it's Alzheimer's or a form of FTD is irrelevant. He has to go.

But in another sense, it matters a great deal. That's because there won't be support in the cabinet to 25th him. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we're stuck with him until he end of his term. Impacts on impulse control, for example, are far worse with some forms of dementia compared with others. If it's one of these, we need to set up additional safeguards too limit his ability to order a nuclear strike.
