This was written in Sept of 2018. The article makes a case for who is really mentally ill . . . . . and it ain't Trump

According to the amendment, if Vice President Mike Pence and a majority of Trump’s cabinet agree that Trump is mentally unfit for office, they can remove him and report their action to Congress. The amendment also includes a provision for what happens if the president fights back — a distinct possibility with Trump. If Trump resists leaving office, Pence and a majority of the cabinet would have four days to send a written declaration to the president pro tempore of the Senate — a position currently held by the longtime conservative Utah Senator Orrin Hatch — and House Speaker Paul Ryan. Congress would then have 48 hours to meet and consider the matter, and about three weeks to vote on it. A two-thirds vote would overturn the president’s protests and leave Pence in the White House. Anything less would put Trump back in power.
(Just imagine what would happen if Trump won that kind of constitutional showdown, fighting against his own vice president, cabinet, and Congress. He would be both increasingly paranoid and unstoppable.)
