Ari Fleischer just commented that, under the 25th amendment, a letter has to be sent to the President saying that he's not competent/able to exercise his duties.
If he responds, and says "Nope, I'm fine," then two thirds of the Senate AND two thirds of the House have to vote to remove him from office.
Fleischer says that's even a higher bar than impeachment. If the ⅔ of the House clause is applicable, he's right.
So, in context of what Jolly asked, let's play that game...
Biden wins the election, and within months, Speaker Pelosi introduces a resolution the President Biden is not able to execute the duties of the presidency. She has to get 66 Senators and (too lazy to do the arithmetic) a huge majority of the House to agree.
Does anyone think that'll happen?
I don't, and I don't think Pelosi does either.
The only way I can see Harris assuming the office of POTUS is if Biden resigns. Perhaps he can be convinced of that, thought.

Seems like the parsimonious explanation is she’s trolling Trump and keeping the focus on Covid for a while longer.

How's that?
If she's trolling Trump because of his alleged non-response to the pandemic, that doesn't translate to "unable to exercise the duties of the Presidency."
It translates to "He's incompetent, and I don't like what he did/didn't do."
There's a difference, right?

Trolling him by saying he’s so off kilter and unbalanced it must be the meds.

I think they should demand that Pelosi be examined for her own mental competence to hold office. I'd like to know if she's crazy, senile, or the daughter of Satan.

Which brings up an interesting question - how, even in principle, could you disentangle Trump’s regular behavioral extremes from a drug-induced side effect?

Reread my post. My question was not about any particular drug. It was about how one could, even in principle, decide that Trump was behaving in an unnaturally erratic way.
Kind of like asking “how can you tell if a punk band is bad?”

A stroke? Or two? Brain aneurysm? Coma? Fatal heart attack?
Kamala sent me her Christmas wish list.
