The 25th Amendment says a group of people can decide if a president is too unwell to do the job. Congress was supposed to create that group.
It never did. Not in more than 50 years.
Rep. Jamie Raskin wrote a bill to finally create it. The bill is called H.R. 8275. The group would be 17 people — doctors and former officials. No politicians. If they and the Vice President agree the president cannot do the job, he can be removed.
Right now the bill is sitting in committee. Nothing is happening to it.
I’m writing today to ask you to sign onto and/or otherwise support this bill. The future of this country and our democracy is at stake. Trump must be removed!
