Ella sogomonian kron 4 news. Thank you ellen other big story House Speaker nancy pelosi unveiled legislation today that would allow congress to intervene under the 25th amendment to the constitution to remove the president. The speaker insists is not about trump but inspired by the need for greater congressional oversight of his white house. Joe khalil has more on how this would work and the political fallout from her announcement on capitol hill. President s fitness for office must be determined by science and facts House Speaker nancy pelosi rolled out a plan establishing a commission to determine if a sitting president is healthy enough and mentally capable for the office this is not about President Trump. He will face the judgment of the voters. But pay shows the need for us to create a process for future president s democrat jamie raskin introduced the bill he says the duty to establish such a commission on the president s fitness for office is clear in the 25th Amendment Congress in house and the senate could direct the commission to conduct a medical exam of the president while pelosi and raskin say the Commission Sets up a process for future presidencies they both directly referenced President Trump medical professionals who say that certain medications can impair judgment i dont now in the age of covid19. Where a lot of government actors have been afflicted by it. We need to act White House Press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany called the move a stunt we think that that is absolutely unfounded and its a stunt ahead of an election back in any says despite the president s recent diagnosis, he is feeling well and fit for the duties of the office he was making great decisions going back and forth and different issue so its a ridiculous the search and President Trump also weighed in on the 25th amendment talked this morning going after his opponent joes condition to be a candidate 25th amendment. I think they put it in so they can get camilla in replay exactly white house collar Barbara Perry says the 25th amendment technically calls for the commission to exist under every presidency leases to start the ball rolling to indicate that they are aware of whats going on in the white house curry says historically the 25th amendment has been invoked when past president s were physically incapacitated the speaker is probably concern over the incumbent and his health, but also the state of mind. Perry says given the ages and medical histories of both President Trump and joe biden their health is irrelevant concern. And it was joe khalil reporting for us tonight there are still many questions surrounding this proposal could it actually take shape and if so is it a good idea our kron fours dan kerman spoke to legal and political experts today. He has that part of the story from San Francisco. The 25th amendment allows for a president to voluntarily transfer power to the Vice President. But it also provides 2 options to have power transferred without the president say. The one thats always been followed is the Vice President in a majority of the cabinet could deem the president cant fulfill the duties of office but professor Erwin Chemerinsky who is dean of the U C Berkeley School of law. Says the 25th amendment does provide another option. Congress could designated a body and if the Vice President and majority of that body. The president can fulfill the judges office. The president then will be relieved of those duties political experts believe theres a very good reason for congress to create this alternate commission no president would want to hear from the cabinet. That they can no longer discharge their duties because it would be reluctant to do that because of all the political consequences. So weve got to find a mechanism that really gets outside of politics at least to some extent. U c berkeley Political Science professor henry brady is the dean of the Goldman School of public policy. He says good idea or not the votes to create this commission arent there with the Republican Controlled Senate and President Trump in the white house still he understands why Speaker Pelosi is proposing this now its obviously attempt to point out that. At least the democrats think mister trump is in trouble and not really capable of governing and so its a political stunt in that regard. Now if this proposal goes nowhere as expected this year the question is will it be proposed again next year depending on who is elected president s. In San Francisco. Dan kerman kron 4 news.

Confirmation hearings for President Trumps Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett are set to begin on monday. Some members are expected to participate remotely after 2 republican members of the Committee Utah senator mike lee and North Carolina senator thom tillis tested positive for the coronavirus last week our political consultant David Mckeown explains why it will ultimately have little effect on her confirmation. It does place their plans and in a more tenuous position but the senate rules that democrats can influence are quite minimal and on the margins they can slow go this they can slow it down but ultimately if youve got a wheel someone like mike lee replace him in in a protective bubble that have come in and vote that could happen if its Mitch Mcconnell wanted to go to that part terms of the political theater so its its not clear that democrats can really do much that this it would seem that republicans have the vote Mitch Mcconnell is going to bring that the votes forward it looks pretty certain that shes going to confirmed the question is how did democrats handle going after her policy positions and not her character she is a poster mom in terms of of apple pie and all that is right and good at this and so democrats have to be careful about that because what they want to talk about and target are suburban women their best hope is to slow going, but ultimately not changed the trajectory of this nomination. Some republicans believe the senate will confirm barrett before election day democrats oppose barrett because of her legal views and the manner in which she was nominated for the high court.
