Democratic chairwoman of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, said at her weekly press conference on Thursday that she wanted to start a discussion to remove Republican President Donald Trump from office over his health situation through the 25th amendment to the constitution. That has the conservative news channel Fox News reported.

The amendment states that a president can be impeached if his health condition no longer allows him to perform his office. “Tomorrow we will talk about the 25th Amendment,” Fox quoted the Democratic leader.
But it is very questionable whether she can succeed in getting Trump out of the White House in that way. Vice President Mike Pence and a majority of the government should write to Pelosi and Acting Senate President Cuck Grassley saying his boss is not fit to hold office, which is highly unlikely. Pelosi must also succeed in getting Republican Congressmen over the bridge.
Pelosi does not like a new impeachment procedure.
It has already happened that a president himself has temporarily transferred power to his deputy for health reasons. The approach that Pelosi now advocates is unpublished.
