12. Don't get your hopes up, his dad lived to be 93, 8 YEARS after he was diagnosed with Alzheimers.

His mother lived to be 88.

So he can easily finish out his term, although he may be less functional than he is now. And as long as doesn't drool, throw feces or run into the middle of the street naked and screaming, no matter how mentally incompetent he gets, there's no way the 25th amendment will be invoked by this Republican party.
