Rep. Darrell Issa, a Republican congressman from California, has proposed amending the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as a potential solution to the concerns surrounding President Joe Biden’s fitness for office. The suggestion has emerged amid an ongoing House investigation into the President’s health and cognitive abilities, which has led to calls for a more stringent process to assess the President’s capacity to fulfill his duties.
Issa’s proposal, while still in its early stages, would require a more thorough evaluation process for situations where a President’s physical or mental condition is in question. The move has been met with mixed reactions, as some lawmakers see it as a necessary safeguard for national security, while others argue it could lead to unnecessary political conflict.
