It's not going to pass in the Senate anyway. Makes no sense.
I think the point is to get people talking bout the 25th (without actually invoking it), and as people are increasingly worried about Trump's irrationality, they're reminded that there are mechanisms in place to at the very least transfer power, which other Republicans are refusing to use. House and Senate Democrats can hold their rivals to task on this issue. Asking vulnerable senate Republicans like Ernst, Collins, and McSally where they stand on invoking the 25th when a president is under the influence of mind-altering drugs is a pretty solid line of attack.


Oh, and speaking of irrationality, Trump's going on Fox news tonight to have a quack doctor confirm that he's totally healthy.
