She parses her words extremely careful. And that means watch out GOP.

And rather than just say he is demented, she tells us what his delusions are so we all can see it for ourselves. She knows that his dementia is irreparable too.

(9,314 posts)4. Is the reference about his fitness for office an oblique reference to the following:
25th Amendment to the Constitution, Section 4
Section 4.
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.
and
is this reference to "dementia" a rumor or a fact? Just wondering.

(51,129 posts)5. Indeed, but she didn't go so far as to say that Cabinet should be concerned.
Just pointing out that the first meeting with leadership starts out in the alternate universe of his delusional reality was certainly enough of a hint that the lights are on, he can still breathe, but no one is home any more.
