Hakeem Jeffries Calls for Investigation Into Trump Health

[murielm99]

19. While there is no law about a periodic report, most modern Presidents

release the results of their annual physicals. I think Presidents share this information to show that they are healthy enough to do this demanding job. If I am wrong about this, someone can correct me.

When Eisenhower had a major heart attack in 1955, there was no formal way for the Vice-President to assume Presidential duties on a temporary basis. Nixon did step in and assume many duties. In general, people were pleased with the way Nixon handled things. But this incident was the basis for showing the need for the 25th amendment. This is the mechanism to provide for temporary succession if a President is incapacitated, so Jeffries is not out of line. Eisenhower recovered and won a second election. Maybe the current occupant of the Oval Office should be taken out via the 25th amendment. Maybe a more permanent solution is in order, like impeachment. Maybe pigs will fly.

I don't know if this covers what you are asking for, but I think it is possible that an investigation might show that TSF is not healthy enough to continue as President. Then the 25th amendment could be invoked. Again, I won't risk getting a crick in my neck looking upward for flying pigs.

Impeachment? 25th Amendment? I'm not sure, and I don't know if either is the right choice, or if either would work.
