Prior posts are an analysis by another anon of how the 25th Amendment might come into play.
But I think there is a loophole that Nancy could use to knock POTUS out UNTIL ELECTION DAY.
As of Friday, there are 25 days until 11/3. On Tuesday, that will be 21 days, and that is the magic number.
Here's how they could play it, while adhering to Section 4.
1) By simple majority, both houses appoint some body for the purpose of ascertaining Presidential fitness. If it is an ostensibly bipartisan body of "respected" deep staters, maybe they can pull a few R votes in the Senate.
2) The appointed body, after cursory review, concludes that DJT is currently unfit, and reports this in writing to the leaders of both houses. Crucially, Mike Pence MUST do the same or this plan fails, so if he can be trusted then Nancy is just bluffing.
3) While the actual mechanism of this is unclear, at this point Mike Pence becomes acting President. Presumably the fake news would trumpet the fact that this happens immediately.
4) DJT, being actually fit, will immediately (or actually as close as possible) affirm in writing to the leaders of both houses that he is actually fit. However, the appointed body and the VP have four days to object in writing, again to the leaders of both houses. (Presumably, if this is all a DS plot, they will plan for this and do so almost immediately, but there seems to be some uncertainty regarding who is the legal acting President in the possible gap.)
5) Congress is then required to assemble within 48 hours (if not in session) to address the issue, but they have up to 21 days to do so. During this period the VP will STILL BE ACTING PRESIDENT. And that takes us through election day. Thereafter, unless they can get a 2/3 vote in both houses declaring DJT unfit, he will resume his powers. But during that time the DS will have presumably used control of the Executive to effectively establish Biden as the President-Elect. (So it might be wise for them to pull the trigger closer to election day, so they have time to be in control during some of the expected legal controversy. Perhaps, as some anons suggested, POTUS wasn't "supposed to" get sick quite yet. I think they were riffing off the fact that in the Red October scene Q has adverted to several times now, the sub smashes the torpedo before it is armed.)
Anyway, I suspect working out their possible plans and exposing them in advance is part of what we need to do to prevent their enactment.
