Soon after Rep. Nancy Pelosi introduced a commission that would allow Congress to remove a mentally unfit president, Donald Trump tweeted a claim its ulterior motive is to replace Democratic candidate Joe Biden with Kamala Harris.

Instead, the commission is needed to give "some comfort to people" about government stability, Pelosi (D-California) insisted.

Some, however, were not convinced the commission is meant as just an additional safety mechanism in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Pelosi's assurance the legislation wasn't about Trump has quickly sparked a theory that such a commission could be used to replace 77-year-old Joe Biden - whose own mental stability has been steadily questioned - should he win the election next month.

President Trump himself floated that theory on Twitter shortly after Pelosi's announcement. Trump wrote:

Others, including former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, have similarly lobbed the accusation at Pelosi.
