What should be done if the President is mentally ill?

The 25th amendment allows for the Vice President to become president in the event of death, resignation, removal from office or impairment that prevents the current president from fulfilling his or her duties. This pretty much covers your question as to how it can happen.

This is obviously a Slam against President Trump's ability to run the Office of the President. However there is a good point to it. The US Constitution does allow for the transfer of power when the president becomes incapacitated through one means or another however the Constitution is quiet on how you would make the determination of such incapacity. I would think the entire presidential cabinet would have the authority to discuss and vote on whether or not the president is incapacitated however such decision should be temporary until it is medically determined by a physician or mental health professional. Under due process the president must be allowed the opportunity to refute such claims

What should be done if the President is mentally ill? Well I will never say that President Donald Trump is mentally ill however we had two presidents who 90 bucks short of a dollar. They were John Fitzgerald Kennedy and George Herbert Walker Bush who both legimatly earned the Medal of Honor but had them downgraded to Navy Cross because President Franklin Delano Roosevelt hated their fathers.

Would it be sarcastic for me to say "Lock Him Up"?

It is covered in law 'The Vice-President shall act as President, as in case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.'
It is always enlightening to me how smart the Founding Fathers were. If the President is mentally ill, it is decided by those close to him, or her, and not outsiders and political opponents.

What to do if OP is mentally ill?

I see that this is yet another landmine of a topic, sure to inflame views from multiple angles.

The direct answer to that question Constitutionally is it would require an incapacitation on the part of the President, which if memory serves has never happened, even when a President had an assassination attempt (Lincoln comes to mind, as he did not die right away), or died in office.

This is a dark, dark road that no patriotic American should wish for, no matter how much you don't like who is in office.

Give him 2 aspirin and call the Dr. in the morning.

After going back and forth on this issue I do feel something is wrong with Trump. Does that mean the 25th Amendment should be considered? Yes. It may prove nothing is wrong with him except being a douche. But, at least we will know for sure. Because, I didn't expect to wake up this morning to another tweet from this man. I thought he was going to keep a low profile and focus on his upcoming trip. But, he didn't. This isn't about party. And, this isn't about me being an expert on mental illness. Hence, I want experts to investigate.

To all who read this have a safe fourth of July. Be mindful fireworks are triggers are for some.

I believe at enlistment every service member should be issued a U.S Constitution.
I also believe there should be bi-annual classes on the Constitution.
To expect someone to swear to defend the constitution up to and with their life but keep them blind to it should be seen as the act of a domestic enemy.
In reality there should be a required test on the Constitution before enlistment eligibility is determined.
