More 25th Chatter

 There was a comment from yesterday....that Pelosi's 'vision' of the 'group/team' involved in the 25th Amendment process....will include doctors and scientists.  It is a puzzling group....most folks were thinking when this originally came up....the entire group from the House effort would be politicians. 

The chief problem here now?

Well....a doctor is expected (by his licensing board in the state that he holds a license) to actually physically examine the individual (in person).  

If you were a doctor, and wrote up a whole report on some guy or gal....but you'd never been in the same room as they were in.....the report would be invalid, and the state board could be called to question your license.

In this case, if Pelosi's 25th 'board' met, and Trump wasn't cooperating....refusing them an audience, then the report was produced....I would imagine that the license board could come into play, and they'd ask if this event really occurred.  The report then?  It'd be withdrawn quickly....I would imagine.  Licensed doctors would be in fear of a lost license. 

So these individuals being mostly retired doctors?  That's about the only way ahead, that I could see this event occurring.  

I noticed a number of people discussing via social media the whole 25th question.  Some suggest that the legal system and courts might be drawn into this and the 25th might be sent onto the Supreme Court....to test the legality of it.  To be honest, after reading through the material.....it's never been used, and so it's never been tested in court.  

I do agree....it exists in the Constitution, but the written form has only a certain amount of instruction, and you could easily create stuff out of thin air....which wouldn't be within the scope of the Constitution.
