If the man at the top may be unstable - then the White House is likely to exhibit some instability - as well as some efforts by the White House staff - who are normal infighters - to undermine and replace the man at the top. The problem, however, is how to accomplish regime change (the replacement of a mentally unstable incumbent with another member of the ruling political party) within the very strict confines of the United States Constitution - and within the constraint of maintaining the full faith and confidence of the citizens. Time to bring Mike Pence up to bat.

If Donald Trump is mentally is so is 2/3 of the DemocRAT party, 1/3 of the other and 1/3 of commentators here. Hank Johnson D Ga thinks Guam will capsize if troops are sent there....... no response, Shiela Jackson thinks homicides cause murder........ no reaction, Hillary Clinton is the devil's mistress as regards corruption........... no reaction................. Get F real!!!!
If the president is mentally ill, then that person MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE!!!!!!

I AGREE...AND DONT TRUST ANY OTHERS NEAR THAT PLATE AT THE CURRENT TIME.
POTUS is the Commander-in-Chief until he is replaced by a new President, he resigns, retires, etc.
Pay specific attention to section 4.

Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia
The Twenty-fifth Amendment (Amendment XXV) to the United States Constitution deals with succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President as well as responding to Presidential disabilities. It supersedes the ambiguous wording of Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution, which does not expressly state whether the Vice President becomes the President or Acting...
The Constitution establishes the criteria for a president being unable to carry out the duties of the president of the US. Speculation, wishes, political hope does not make a president mentally ill. Staff, medical attendees, all have the president health under observation.
Trolling while possibly humorous for the dolt doing it - adds nothing to civil and informative discussion. Unless one has the credentials and verifiable proof of ones hypothetical post, perhaps one should just sign off and annoy some other forum. If you can't deal with the results of the election at least have the good grace to keep your disappointment to yourself as those of us who voted for the man had to do for the previous office holder. Nothing but love tho...

I have no problem with a lively debate as long as it stays civil. This is a forum for conversation, its not a court of law. So I'm cool with it...

To be clear, my comment is really directed to the originator of this thread. Posts that denigrate the President's sanity with no proof or credibility are not meant to be "debates" they are simply obnoxious trolling to start an argument. I don't consider that either helpful or in any way intellectually challenging or entertaining.

Hard enough to prove an average American citizen is mentally ill, let alone a President.
