25th Amendment bill to create a bipartisan commission to determine if the President is fit to serve—due to physical, mental, or other conditions.

Fifty House Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, filed a 25th Amendment bill yesterday to establish a bipartisan commission with one very specific job: determine whether the President of the United States is mentally and physically fit to hold office.
This is not a drill.
Raskin cited Trump’s threats to destroy entire civilizations, his chaos in the Middle East in violation of Congressional war powers, his public insults directed at the Pope, and his posting of AI-generated images of himself as Jesus Christ. 
The man spent last week comparing himself to the Son of God and threatening to wipe out an entire civilization over a social media post.
Trump later defended his remarks by explaining that Iran agreed to a ceasefire, claiming his threats “brought them to the table.” 
Brilliant strategy. Announce the apocalypse. Declare victory when the other side blinks. Repeat until someone files a constitutional bill about your mental fitness.
The bill bypasses JD Vance entirely, exploiting a provision in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment that allows Congress to establish its own body, separate from the Vice President and Cabinet, to assess presidential incapacity. 
Nobody apparently trusts Vance to make this call. Understandable.
Four psychiatrists have already written to Congress warning that Trump’s behavior has “crossed a threshold that demands immediate and bipartisan attention,” describing comments that experts across dozens of independent assessments have identified as signs consistent with cognitive decline. 
The White House responded with the kind of measured dignity you would expect. Spokesman Davis Ingle called Raskin “a stupid person’s idea of a smart person” and insisted Trump possesses “sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility.” 
Sharpness. The man threatened to end civilization in a Truth Social post at presumably some ungodly hour of the morning. That is their defense.
The bill has 50 co-sponsors and essentially no chance of passing a Republican-controlled Congress. But the question is now formally on the table, in writing, with a bill number, signed by fifty members of the United States Congress.
That is not a fringe conspiracy. That is the constitutional system doing exactly what it was designed to do, however late and however reluctantly.
