Why Nancy Pelosi is Really Launching a 25th Amendment Commission on Presidential Capacity

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., introduced legislation Friday that would create a bipartisan commission to determine a sitting president’s ability to carry out the duties of the office.

Many hold the view that this is about President Trump, Pelosi has denied this.

“This is not about President Trump. He will face the judgment of the voters, but he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents,” she said. "This legislation applies to future presidents, but we are reminded of the necessity of action by the health of the current president."

But it is likely about Trump AND Joe Biden.

If Trump wins the November vote, she will go after him with the commission BUT don't be surprised if the commission goes after Biden if he is elected.

This might be a win-win in Nancy Pelosi's mind. She might take out problematic presidents of either party.

With Joe obviously playing with an ever-expanding neurofibrillary tangle, she could push him out via the commission which would push Team Hillary's gal, Kamala into the top spot.

Fox News contributor Johnny Joey thinks this is what Pelosi is really up to:

Let me explain this to you guys, @SpeakerPelosi is attempting to normalize the idea and cease power over invoking 25A. Not to unseat Trump, but to promote Harris if Biden wins. It’s smart to start the process under the guise of partisanship.

In other words, this election might end up eventually being about Harris vs. Pence on the White House throne.
