The administration is quote accelerating production of safe and effective vaccines to ensure delivery starting in january of 2021. And quote doctor fauci says that timeframe seems accurate. We can make a reasonable projection that we will know. By some time in november and december whether we have a safe and effective vaccine by the time we get to the end of the year the beginning of 2021. We will likely be able to start vaccinating people well be able to vaccinate everybody in the united states. But you could start vaccinating people Like Health Care workers who need vaccine because theyre putting themselves in harms way by taking care of sick people as well as people who are vulnerable to the deleterious affects of infection like people with underlying conditions. The elderly et cetera. Asked if he would be confident enough in the vaccine too get a shot in january fauci said if its available. Yes, i will. Definitely. That whole week leading up to.

And now we know that with certainty for covid19. In San Francisco, michelle kingston kron 4 news. Coming up on kron 4 news at a strong winds rounds of rain hurricane delta lashing, louisiana tonight. Plus youth sports doesnt fall into any of the covid the states reopening guidelines so while some bay area schools have resumed in Person Learning theres less clarity on the status of sports and kids we have the latest on where they stand. And speaking strong winds we are likely going to see some gusty winds this wee 25th amendment creates a path purpose serving custom bility if a president suffers a crippling physical or mental problem, this legislation applies to future president s. But we are reminded of the necessity of action by the house of the current president. And that is House Speaker nancy pelosi, she unveiled legislation today that would allow congress to intervene under the 25th amendment to the constitution to remove the president. The speaker insists its not about trump but inspired by the need for greater congressional oversight of his white house. The bill would set up a commission to assess the president s ability to lead the country and ensure continuity of government political consultant David Mckeown im he explains why the speaker made this move just weeks before the election. Heres speaker Speaker Pelosi take in a page from the donald trump playbook by putting forward something that is about politics, pure and simple its going to garner white house to tell you its going to garner the president s attention and by doing that and talking about his fitness for you raise a whole bunch of issues on that democrats Playing Field if theyre leading the race of joe biden is ahead by state double digits, how is the Trump Campaign going to respond and reset the race and what nancy pelosi been able to do here is focus on the pandemic and call into question the viability of this president and that joe biden and it probably helps democrats down ballot. So for more on the timing of this bill and the political power behind it. We welcome a San Francisco State University president s san jose excuse me getting to and not the president professor vets. Is this really just a power play or maybe it was the speaker just trying to get under the president s skin or is there some value to this. Well its difficult to say i wouldnt want to speculate. But i think we do certainly. Have the potential for a constitutional crisis. And considering the lack of transparency coming out of the white house about the health of the president. I think nancy pelosi Speaker Pelosi is being proactive and attempting to put into place a succession plan. Well we do want you to speculate unfortunately, can you kind of glean what this actually would mean versus what the 25th amendment stipulates right now is it is a much different is it a little bit different. Well the 25th amendment does what the speaker is is shepherding through the congress right there is language that allows for congress to establish a if the Vice President does not notify congress that and with the approval of the cat and the majority of the cabinet that the president is no longer able to carry out the duties of the office the congress does have wide ranging to establish a process in the event that that was to happen. And i think professor mckeown and makes a good point that in the middle of an election year. There are some some points to potentially be by project the Democratic Party as looking out for the continuing need of the of the in such a crucial time. Professor a bit of a History Lesson if you dont mind i has this 25th amendment been used before. Well it was a it was ratified in went into effect in 1967. And it was originally proposed because president kennedy was assassinated and he was succeeded by Vice President johnson you had a heart condition and so there was some concern. In total there could be a Vice President about what we would do in this situation. And it was used during the Nixon Administration when president nixon resigned, it and after his Vice President and already resigned in let the appointed Vice President ford to become president and then Nelson Rockefellers Vice President and it he was voted in by both houses, according the 25th amendment. Bidens older than trump. So republicans are likely going to say you know if you want to go down this road. Its your guy who might needed more but this initiative the pelosi is pushing really doesnt have any chance pass right now given the senate is republican controlled and President Trump is obviously not going to sign it but should the democrats keep the house take the senate and should joe biden when do you think this has wlex. Well youre it has no chance of passing it may pass the house its unlikely that passed the senate but even if the commission was to be put into place. Its a long shot but lets assume that it was and they would still need a 2 thirds majority in both houses in order to prove whatever the commission is proposing and thats unlikely to the democrats dont have anywhere near 2 thirds majority in the house and we have yet to see we captured senate, but there is the potential. That President Trump is reelected and say is still in a infected. Plan may be may become very relevant. In terms of figuring what could be done if the president cannot carry out duties of the office and its not entirely clear. Whats actually happening in the white house from from what i can glean from the news reports. Ok so now youre going to you know go ahead so not just an that necessarily in futility i thank you so much for joining us. A professor from a san jose state Professor Robert betts.
