Here is a food for thought...

<--This is the 25th amendment bill..

Hmmm..

President Bush was treated for Lyme disease a year ago after developing a circular rash characteristic of the ailment, the White House announced.

Especially when you consider this:

The disease varies widely in its presentation, which may include a rash and flu-like symptoms in its initial stage, followed by the possibility of musculoskeletal, arthritic, neurologic, psychiatric and cardiac manifestations. In most cases of Lyme disease, symptoms can be eliminated with antibiotics, especially if treatment is begun early in the course of illness.

A percentage of patients with Lyme disease have symptoms that last months to years after treatment with antibiotics. These symptoms can include muscle and joint pains, arthritis, stiff neck, cognitive defects, neurological complaints or fatigue. The cause of these continuing symptoms is not yet known. There is some evidence that they may result from an autoimmune type of response, in which a person’s immune system continues to respond even after the infection has been cleared, as well as evidence of ongoing infection with the spirochete. (emphasis mine) Read more…

The real question to ask: Is this disease affecting or has affect his performance in office? And is Bush suffering any of the serious symptoms that may be affect his decision making in office? And really how the hell do you we know? Finally, another occur to me: with the amount of time Bush has vacationed during his Presidency, how many times has Bush been in a surroundings with ticks?

Congress needs to explore the 25th Amendment of how capable this President is doing his job in office now that his disease has been made public.

Amendment XXV (the Twenty-fifth Amendment) of the U.S. Constitution clarifies an ambiguous provision of the Constitution regarding succession to the Presidency, and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of Vice President as well as responding to Presidential disabilities. And here is one example of President Reagan:

Upon assuming the role of White House Chief of Staff in 1987, Howard Baker was advised by his predecessor's staff to be prepared for a possible invocation of the 25th Amendment due to Reagan's perceived laziness and ineptitude.

Here is section of the 25th Amendment:

Sections three and four: Presidential disability

The question of how a Presidential inability was to be ascertained was resolved by the Twenty-fifth Amendment. Abraham Lincoln lay unconscious for several hours after he was shot until he died; James Garfield was incapacitated for eighty days by an assassin's bullet before dying; a stroke rendered Woodrow Wilson an invalid for the last eighteen months of his term; and Dwight D. Eisenhower suffered a heart attack in 1955 and a stroke in 1957, although in each case he was able to quickly return to duty.
