Trump has not been President very long but Oregon representatives want to strengthen and clarify the 25th amendment. Trump has done nothing yet to warrant this to affect him.

Are they thinking of Section 4? If so, it is improbable (at least so far) that Pence, and the majority of the Cabinet, and two-thirds of both the House and the Senate, would vote to remove Trump. For he would have to go completely off the rails. And so far, he is only showing more and more restraint, when faced with the awful realities of the world situation. Campaigning was a lark, with no real threat; he could make all sorts of absurd promises and claims. But now he knows that he can no longer do that. Too much is at stake, not only for himself, but for the country and the world.

Quote

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

seems pretty cut and dry to me....   what needs to be clarified.

That the DNC is desperate and flailing about for something, anything, to regain some relevance.

They are wanting to get this amendment in place and clarified for some reason.

Trump will still be President regardless of how many Titanic deck chairs the Dems rearrange....I will send a copy of this photo to the national Cry Babies  Symposium.

I doubt very seriously of getting 67 senators to vote to remove the President from office

It depends on we, the people.  If they couldn't impeach Clinton, at least not all the way, they can''t Trump either.
