Stop Talking About the 25th Amendment. It Won’t Work on Trump. politi.co/2MbN9Xs via @politicomag
“The legislative debate over the amendment and the prevailing interpretations of its meanings suggest that, despite its vagueness, it doesn’t apply to someone like Trump.”
“Trump has an extreme personality, with many (debatable) negative qualities—as the Times op-ed writer said, he is “impetuous, adversarial, petty and ineffective.” Some might judge him to be a grandiose narcissist or even a pathological liar.”
“But having a personality disorder or even certain forms of mental illness doesn’t necessarily render a president unfit to govern (Lincoln suffered from depression). And in fact, Trump is not “unable” to serve as president, as would be required to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
“He is actually a high-achieving, high-functioning person who has excelled in business, entertainment and now politics. He hasn’t suffered from a crippling stroke, a psychotic break or dementia.”
If he is, (as the resistance weakly argues), “temperamentally unsuited to be president—that is a reason to vote against him, not to resort to a never-used clause in a constitutional amendment.”
