A Democratic lawmaker says he’s so concerned about Donald Trump’s ‘erratic behavior’ that he wants to revise the 25th Amendment in case the president demonstrates that he does not have the ‘mental and emotional capacity’ to do his job.
Oregon Congressman Ed Blumenauer, who represents the liberal city of Portland, says he sees a ‘glaring flaw’ in the wording of the amendment that was ratified in 1967 in response to JFK’s assassination.
‘For a mentally unstable, paranoid or delusional president, the 25th Amendment has no guarantee of its application. In fact, it’s likely that it would fail,’ Blumenauer said in a speech this week on the House floor.
