13:17Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian lay out the case that Donald Trump has lost his mind and walk through the constitutional mechanism for doing something about it. From threatening to annihilate an entire civilization to posting an image of himself as Jesus with the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the background, to profane Easter morning tirades and blockading the Strait of Hormuz on social media, Brian and Shant argue this isn't political disagreement — it's a medical crisis in the Oval Office. They're not alone: Rep. Jamie Raskin has formally demanded a comprehensive cognitive evaluation from the White House physician, four prominent psychiatrists have written to congressional leaders calling Trump "a constitutional emergency," and even longtime MAGA allies like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alex Jones have publicly raised the 25th Amendment. Over 200 mental health professionals previously signed a letter warning of severe mental illness. Brian and Shant break down all four sections of the 25th Amendment — from routine presidential succession to the rarely discussed Section 4, which allows the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to declare the president unable to discharge his duties. They walk through the timeline: the instant transfer of power, the president's right to contest, the four-day response window, and the two-thirds vote in both chambers that would be required. It's harder than impeachment, and the catch is that the very cabinet members who would need to act are Trump appointees who fear him. But Brian offers a cautionary note: even if the bar is too high right now, lowering it could be dangerous in the hands of a future political faction looking to seize power.
