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.

Unlike O'Bama or Bush, he hasn't violated the Constitution yet. I do support him, but I remain true to my oath to defend the Constitution (and that regardless of the jerks who felt it necessary to send me off on the 3912 railroad). I don't blame the Air Force since I know even in high places idiots fall through the cracks of valid scrutiny.
After these combatants Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee are checked over first, then you can come at me with the most stupidest question I have heard all week.
First, I can't believe the left has dropped to these lows. I would ask if they even have any pride but it is apparent they don't. I view this as their latest tantrum in their desperate attempt to gain attention....any attention. I am shocked but enlightened to finally see the snake shed the sheepskin. Shocked by their level of hatred of anyone with a differing opinion and enlightened by witnessing their true attitude they have been hiding.

Proving a person is mentally ill who has some very strong allies around them is very difficult.
Reagan for example was 'rumored' to have suffered from the start of alzheimer's disease before he left the WH. Nancy protected him from anything or anyone that may have suggested it. The man suffered throw an assassination attempt that nearly killed him if he didn't have PTSD from that people are lying to you.
So proving that with the current POTUS is a pipe dream at best or just wishful thinking.
Not just left propaganda:

Sen. Susan Collins is not a big fanof President Trump, but it's doubtful the Maine Republicanwould have said "I'mworried" about his ...
Looking at the current President and past Presidents, all of them had physical and psychological concerns to deal with. Some published, some not. We now live in an era where the internet provides a forum to release information, and this information is easier to receive. Everyone has an opinion, and I see so much hypocrisy on the left, middle, right, conservatives, liberals, etc. Maybe all candidates need to submit to a mental examination by a qualified physician. But even that would be controversial. Who would choose the physician? As for the comments that the people chose the President. Research the electoral college. The writers of the constitution did not even trust the citizens to choose the President.

Thank you mam, makes my job explaining the process to people. I was an 'Officer of Elections" in Nashville, Tenn and I reported discrepancies in the 2008 election that lead to Tennessee's first "Photo ID" law. Part of that was letting the Mentally challenged vote and voting by "Power of Attorney". Other colleagues uncovered the "Resurrection" of dead voters. Even one of our own was jailed for that.
The basis to make this determination is problematic as the mental health field has a rule when asked to evaluate any politician which basically is to keep their opinions to themselves unless placed in a position to do a first-hand assessment of the subject in question. There are provisions within the Constitution to set aside a president if he is no longer capable of executing the duties of his office but since we are plagued with such dug in partisan posturing that assessment is not likely to be made unless he actually steps on it to the point where lives are lost or war is a result.
