I wouldn't say that the issue is getting no attention at all.

The fly in the ointment is that the VP is a jesus freak sleaze named Mike Pence and the cabinet is filled with sniveling toadies who kissed the WLB's ass on camera.

Quote:Why the 25th Amendment is suddenly getting so much attention
Quote:Quote:“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.”And what does that mean exactly?
Well, it means Congress isn’t the only institution that can remove a president from office between elections. Under the 25th Amendment, a sitting vice president and a majority of the executive branch’s cabinet could, on their own, agree to transfer power out of the hands of a sitting president. At that point, those officials would notify Congress, and the vice president would assume the office as the acting president.
