    According to the 25th amendment

    Section 4. 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.

    Ok.. thanks.

    Maybe his swearing in should be delayed for a period of time to avoid having to  be removed from office; perhaps by as much as four years.  This post was edited by Kittigate at December 4, 2016 8:57 AM MST
