Overview
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday she would rather see President Trump on the golf course than in the Oval Office.
- Her comments followed reporting on Trump’s frequent golf outings, which a HuffPost analysis says have cost taxpayers more than $100 million in his second term.
- She pointed to a Wall Street Journal account that aides kept Trump out of minute-by-minute updates during a recent rescue of downed U.S. airmen in Iran because they believed his impatience would not help.
- Ocasio-Cortez said that if Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, it raises Section 4 questions, which lets the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet declare a president unable to serve and make the vice president acting president.
- Rep. Jamie Raskin filed a bill last week to create a commission to evaluate presidential fitness, though passage is unlikely in a Republican-run Congress and MS NOW’s Jen Psaki said the 25th “is not going to happen.”
