    And that’s different than what any other US president would have done? Kowtowing to Israel is US government policy.

      Nothing different. I’d argue that’s another indicator that the US’s ‘health’ has been bad for a long time.

      The point is whether the 25th amendment should have been invoked.

      If the conditions were met, then other past presidents doing the same thing just means the 25th amendment should have been invoked in those situations as well.

          Thank you for clarifying. In that case the rebuttal to kreskin above should be that the 25th amendment does not apply to crimes, rather than that many presidents commit crimes.

          Btw, as an outsider I’m pressing X to doubt that anyone will ever be able to successfully invoke the 25th amendment. It will be even harder than impeaching. None of the people involved are willing to relinquish power and independent access to determine their puppet’s dementia would be impossible.

              Sounds like the original authors were thinking about honourable men with tuberculosis rather than dishonourable men with dementia.

              This is probably a naive comment but it seems a pity the Amendments weren’t kept up to date with the times so that their spirit could be enforced by practical applications.

      that changes nothing….
      and Isreal has been acting much worse than they were before… although it was still genocidal
