"Donald Trump has six kinds of mental illness and he's on his third stroke. He will be dead by the end of the week."

Trump goes on live TV and delivers an hour long rant about how much winning we're doing in Iran. Emits the loudest fart you've ever heard in your life. His cabinet secretaries all applaud. He hobbles out the door to spend the rest of the day golfing.

"That doesn't prove anything. Look at this grainy photo of his hand. He's probably already dead as you're reading this. Anything you see going forward is AI or a hologram or something."

Ya know......I'm starting to think I'm dead. Maybe I died in 2015. Maybe the last 11 years is just my brain dying. And maybe it's not 11 years, but 20 seconds. And maybe all of reality right now is just my distorted perception, as my brain deals with dying.

Ha! Can you imagine if we went from Obama, to 11 years of exclusively dementia riddled presidents?

Watched Jacob’s Ladder a lot, I take it?

Everyone died when Harambe died. It has been a shitshow since. He was the catalyst.

Harris at least held the powers of the office for an hour one time while Biden was under for a Colonoscopy. So that's something.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Wait....is that real? Harris was our first female president, and it only lasted 1 hour???

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Point of distinction, she would not have been president. Only acting president.

Acting President. One part of the 25th amendment that's actually been used a few times (Section 3) is related to anesthesia. When the President is going under general anesthesia they can formally tell congress they'll be temporarily unable to discharge the duties of the office, so the VeeP becomes acting President.

It's been done 4 times - all related to the colon, funnily enough. George HW Bush was Acting President during Reagan's colon-cancer surgery. Cheney was Acting President twice for W's colonoscopies, and Harris was Acting President during Biden's colonoscopy.

Between all 4 instances it still adds up to like 11 hours total that a VeeP has been Acting President.

The other parts of the 25th Amendment that have been used are Section 1 (Presidential sucession in case of death, resignation, or removal from office) for when Nixon resigned, and Section 2 (Vice-Presidnential succession) following Spiro Agnew's resignation and Ford's elevation to the Presidency following Nixon's Resignation.

Section 4 (removal by the cabinet) hasn't been used. It probably should have been when Reagan was shot and incapacitated, but Bush was on a flight and wouldn't have been able to do anything, so it was tricky.

It definitely should have been used with Ttump on January 6th - and about 900 other times.
