Meet Jamie Raskin. He and his merry band are Democratic members of Congress. Jamie represents us from the great state of Maryland. Jamie held a press conference yesterday to drum up support for a bill he's introduced in Congress that would have a committee of doctors and psychiatrists decide whether Donald Trump is mentally fit enough to be president. Under the 25th Amendment, such a committee (or the president's cabinet) can declare a president unfit for office due to a debilitating mental condition that renders him or her incapable of making a rational decision—you know, debilitating, like he got shot in the head and can only drool or something.
In a dazzling display of rational thinking, two dozen other members of Congress have already co-sponsored the bill—every one of them, except for Paul Ryan, a Democrat, of course.
What does Jamie Raskin point to to make his case that President Trump is debilitated?
The president's tweets are insane, explained the congressman, who first floated the idea for his lunatic bill in a tweet. It's so bad that I've forbidden my son to even look at the president, he said rationally.
Joining him on the bill, you'll be shocked to learn, is the famously rational representative from Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee, known as Queen Sheila among Hill staffers for her habit of using her congressional staff as personal servants. “'The 25th Amendment is utilized when a president is perceived to be incompetent or unable to do his or her job,' said the representative who once enlightened the country from the floor of the House of Representatives with the information that the Constitution has been clearly laying out what is constitutional and what is not constitutional for four hundred years.
Jamie Raskin told his press conference that the time had come to take action. The situation is intolerable, said the grown man who spells his first name with an “ie”, like Senators Bobbie Kennedy and Harrie Reid, apparently referring to the intolerableness of his preferred candidate losing an election.
