House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., plans to introduce legislation Friday that would create a "Commission on Presidential Capacity," which would be involved in presidential transfer of power procedures under the 25th Amendment.
The legislation would create the commission "to help ensure effective and uninterrupted leadership in the highest office in the Executive Branch of government," Pelosi's office said in a news release.

Nancy Pelosi, the US House speaker, has warned that Donald Trump is suffering from “disassociation from reality” and said Congress will on Friday discuss the constitutional potential to remove him from office.
In a zigzagging interview on the Fox Business channel on Thursday, his first since being hospitalised, Trump, 74, boasted: “I’m back because I am a perfect physical specimen and I’m extremely young. And so I’m lucky in that way.”
Trump “is, shall we say, in an altered state right now” and “the disassociation from reality would be funny if it weren’t so deadly,” the 80-year-old speaker added while wearing a mask.
In a surprise move, Pelosi revealed that Democrats will meet on Friday to discuss the 25th amendment to the constitution, which contains a clause that allows a president to be removed from office against his will because of physical or mental incapacity.
