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.
Its a good thing it won't pass.
