    I think the issue is that he was, in fact, checked out mentally. There is legitimate doubt that he was making decisions or even being consulted on things that were autosigned."

    The only people constitutionally empowered and charged with determining that a sitting president is “checked out mentally” are the Vice President, Cabinet, and Congress, via the 25th amendment.

    Absent a 25th amendment declaration of disability, he could be picking the flowers off the wallpaper, and it wouldn’t affect his presidential authority.
