Senator Kennedy poses fatigued president's ability to serve as law professor cites 25th Amendment authority to be exercised at hearing on President Biden's condition in office

Louisiana Senator John Neely Kennedy asks University of Virginia School of Law James Madison Distinguished Professor John Harrison about the moral obligation of staff when a president becomes physically and mentally incapacitated, to which Harrison responds that staff must exercise judgment about the seriousness of the problem, noting that while everyone has moments of lost focus, if it's truly serious, the most difficult but necessary step is telling the president directly, since the 25th Amendment allows the president to declare their own inability at a joint Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing on President Biden's fitness in office.
