Section 4 of the 25th Amendment authorizes the vice president and a majority of the executive cabinet to make the decision whether the president is fit to continue in office or not.
At various points during the Trump presidency, Democrats called for the 25th Amendment to be triggered against the president for a variety of reasons ranging from the coronavirus, to Trump’s competence, to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riot.
"It’s long past time," Waters told MSNBC in October 2020 when asked if it was time to trigger the 25th Amendment based on Trump’s "erratic and bizarre behavior" and "spreading the virus personally."
That same month, in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, Raskin and Pelosi introduced legislation that would create a commission involving Congress in the process to remove the president if he became "incapacitated."
"This is not about President Trump," Pelosi claimed at a press conference at the time. "He will face the judgment of the voters, but he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents."
