This is important. It won't pass as long as Trump is president or the Republicans control the Senate, but, given the nation's experiences with the current deranged chief executive, it's a reform that should be given strong consideration. https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1314293824907345920
A brief explainer: As a default, Section 4 vests power in the Vice President and the Cabinet to make a determination of a president's inability to carry out his or her duties. But ...
... it gives Congress the option of creating another body to make that determination. That could be some group of legislators, or a group of experts—whatever Congress provides by law.
That wouldn't, however, affect the remainder of Section 4, which ultimately places the determination in the hands of supermajorities of both houses of Congress.
I'm referring to Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
