THE KEY REALLY IS THATTHE VICE PRESIDENT AND THECABINET ARE THE ONES WHO HAVETO DO SO CONGRESS CAN'T DO ITOUTSIDE PEOPLE CAN'T DO HAS TOBE VICE PRESIDENT AND THECABINET.

YOU HAVE SIGN ON ANDI HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SAY ANDTHE PRESIDENT IS PHYSICALLY ORMENTALLY UNABLE TO PERFORM THETHE DUTIES OF THE JOB.YEAH AND THIS LETTER THEYSAYS THAT IN HIS VIDEOANNOUNCEMENT THIS AFTERNOONPRESIDENT TRUMP REVEALED THATHE IS NOT MENTALLY SOUND ISSTILL UNABLE TO PROCESS ACCEPTAND HIS WILLINGNESS TO INCITEVIOLENCE AND SOCIAL UNREST ISTHAT ENOUGH TO INVOKE THE 25THAMENDMENT.SO IT'S NOT GREAT QUESTIONAND THE ANSWER IS IT'S ENOUGHIF THE VICE PRESIDENT AND THECABINET AND THE REQUISITEAMOUNT 2 THIRDS OF SAY THATIT'S A NOT SO.

THAT MIGHT BE AREASON WHY CONGRESS PEOPLE AREINTERESTED IN.
