Congress should invoke the 25th Amendment, Article 4, because President Trump’s repeated issuance of unlawful executive orders, coupled with his increasingly incoherent speech patterns, raises grave concerns about his ability to faithfully discharge the powers and duties of the office. The amendment was specifically designed to protect the nation when a president is unable to perform effectively due to physical or mental incapacity. His erratic behavior, disregard for the rule of law, and visible decline in both mental clarity and physical health suggest a clear risk to national security and democratic stability if he remains in power unchecked.
