Who Makes the Call??

Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Sat Oct 3 21:32:24 2020

If Trump's condition worsens to the point that he is on a ventilator and incapacitated, who makes the call to implement the 25th Ammendment to make Pence "acting" president? I forget how that happened when Reagan was shot.

The president himself. If he is incapable, the Vice President, along with at least 8 cabinet members (a majority of the 15 member cabinet).

But it sounds like he can transfer power temporarily without doing that. Trump could have transferred power already and we wouldn't know. Like Reagan did for his surgery.

We would know as he has to send this to the Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore of the Senate. No way Pelosi is sitting on that info.

Did Reagan do that? I don't think so. He didn't invoke the 25th. Even if he did I think that they have days to inform Congress.

Yes, he did. So did Bush the Younger.

People were actually thinking about this five years ago. Hilarious in retrospect.
