- House Democrats introduced legislation to establish a commission to assess President Donald Trump’s fitness for office under the 25th Amendment.
- The bill, co-sponsored by 50 Democrats, proposes a 17-member commission of high-ranking former officials to determine if the president is "mentally or physically unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office.”
- The move comes amid rising concerns from lawmakers over Trump’s violent rhetoric toward Iran and calls for a comprehensive cognitive assessment.
- The White House criticized the proposal, with a spokesman defending Trump's sharpness and energy while dismissing Rep. Jamie Raskin.
- The legislation faces significant hurdles, including the need for the vice president's approval and the unlikelihood of passing the GOP-controlled Congress.
