The "Presidential Fitness Panel" Is not about removing Trump it is about about disrupting ACB confirmation and providing a mechanism by which to remove Joe Biden upon election. The relevant portion of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment (Section Four) Reads:
"Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office."
The key part is "or of such other body as Congress may by law provide". The Democratic kangaroo panel will transmit this to the President pro tempore right after the confirmation hearings of ACB begin. This will FORCE the Senate to assemble to discuss Trumps fitness. The Senate Republicans will find him fit and the Democrats will just do it again forcing another meeting of the Senate. The Democrats don't care about removing Trump they care about jamming up the Supreme Court nomination process. They know if they cant prevent ACB from being elevated to the Supreme Court that they would need to pack the courts which would cause MASSIVE political blowback. If ACB never gets there they do not have to pack the courts and everyone forgets what happens before the next election cycle.
This never had anything to do with removing Trump, it is to prevent ACB from being confirmed in conjunction with other congressional trickery as well as providing a mechanism by which Biden can be removed if a majority of his principle officers do not agree with VP Harris on removing him.
