Another Coup? Trump Slams “Crazy Nancy” After Speaker Unveils 25th Amendment Panel

During Thursday morning’s weekly press conference, Nancy Pelosi ominously told reporters that she would have more to say about the 25th amendment on Friday morning.

Now, we know what she was talking about. In an email to Congressional reporters, Pelosi advised them of a press briefing that will be held at 1015ET on Friday to introduce a new bill called the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office Act.

The legislation would create a Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office.

The exact function of the commission is unclear, but we suspect that, if it were to pass, the body would be responsible for making recommendations to the administration about whether power should be transferred to the Vice President via either Section 3 or Section 4 of the 25th amendment.

Trump had some comments.

Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation. They don’t call her Crazy for nothing! https://t.co/7vE0Jvq0dM

While we await to learn more about the medication, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that this is all part of a ploy by the Dems to try and publicize the timing of Trump’s last negative COVID-19 test, something the White House has been suspiciously tight-lipped about since Trump revealed his status a week ago.
