Lawmakers alarmed by his fixation on the Nobel Peace Prize and his Greenland text see not just eccentricity, but a potential danger in the commander in chief\u2019s judgment. Yet the very tool they invoke was designed to be almost impossible to use against a conscious, resisting president. It demands not only a vice president willing to break with his own ticket, but a Cabinet majority prepared to declare their boss unfit, and a Congress willing to uphold that judgment with a punishing two\u2011thirds vote in both chambers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\"><\/div>\n<p>That is why, despite the fury, Section 4 has never been used. Trump\u2019s critics may dominate the headlines, but his Cabinet has stayed silent, and legal experts warn that \u201cerratic\u201d is not the same as \u201cunable.\u201d In the end, the 25th Amendment offers less an escape hatch than a mirror, forcing the country to confront whether the real crisis is constitutional, or political\u2014and whether the ultimate verdict on a president\u2019s fitness still belongs, painfully, to the voters themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The calls to invoke the 25th Amendment against Donald Trump mark a rare collision between constitutional theory and raw political fear.
