    Yep, just aired on CNN.

    I'm wondering if he has secretly transferred power to Pence too?

    Sometimes, it can be gained by surviving a difficult experience.

    I don't believe they are allowed to do that. We, the people, must always know who the president is.

    They cannot do that without reporting it to the public. They may stall but they have to report it.

    A judge has to be present, to swear in the incoming president. I very much doubt a member of SCOTUS would lie for the president.

    Why would you wonder that? Like an hour ago he was walking out of the White House to Marine 1 under his own power:

    Why would he transfer power to Vice-President Pence when he's not incapacitated?

    Are you saying that we may have a different president right now, and we have no right to know?

    Probably couldn't get a make up artist to go anywhere near him.
    That's his natural colour.

    He looks thinner in that clip. Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist. Just a quick observation.

    That we know of. With this admin's lack of credibility, anything is possible.

    He also looks a lot different without such a heavy dose of the the spray-on Cheeto makeup.

    Apparently, a judge is not required.

    https://www.registercitizen.com/news/article/AP-Explains-Transfer-of-power-under-25th-15617484.php

    To temporarily transfer power to the vice president, a president sends a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and President pro tempore of the Senate that he is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” The vice president then becomes acting president. When the president is ready to resume authority, the president sends another letter. That's spelled out in the amendment's Section 3.

    I don't believe the incoming president is sworn in during a 25th amendment transfer.... I haven't found any record of that action during the Reagan or Bush transfers...

    SNIP
    Shortly before his surgery, Mr. Reagan sent a five-paragraph letter to the President pro tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House transferring Presidential power to Mr. Bush. At 7:22 P.M.M. he signed another letter reclaiming his authority.
