Republican Senator Corker: Trump Not 'competent'

Is Corker giving everyone a hint on how to proceed with Trump?

Despite the long odds, President Trump's erratic behavior in recent weeks has led many — including constitutional scholar and Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe — to start talking about whether the President is fit to discharge the duties of his office under the meaning of the 25th Amendment. While such conversations may be premature, it is important to understand the constitutional mechanisms that would allow removal of a president if a broad bipartisan consensus emerges that he or she is unable to lead our nation.

The first approach would be to appoint a panel of independent medical practitioners to judge the health of American presidents. Former president Jimmy Carter has been a strong advocate for this approach, noting the advanced age and poor health of many U.S. presidents. Since the 1990s, Carter has expressed particular concern about the conflict of interests faced by the personal physicians to the President, who might otherwise be tasked with making a determination about medical fitness. These physicians often have personal relationships with the presidents they treat. (Carter's was his tennis partner.) This seems to be the case with President Trump, whose own personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, famously wrote a bizarre four-paragraph letter raving about Trump's ”astonishingly excellent" health. He later said that he wrote this letter in five minutes while riding in a limousine paid for by Trump himself.


BTW - this article was from March 7. Five months of continuous insanity has followed since then.

Corker may be dropping a hint as to how someone, maybe a Democrat, could introduce some sort of mental competency screening bill for the President...
 
The Spectator is a highly respected British political magazine. It is not a tabloid, far from it!

As a source for political information, it is solid.
