Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said there was an”issue” with President Donald Trump “capability.” Therefore, he said we had to “put real constraints on this president.”

Schiff said, “I certainly think that there is an issue with the president’s capability. There’s some attribute of his character that makes him seemingly incapable of introspection and a broad understanding of what the country really needs.”

He added, “I do think it means that we have to put real constraints on this president. We have to make sure our system of checks and balances in Congress work. I think, frankly, the most powerful thing we can do rather than pursue the 25th Amendment at this point is to make sure that one House or the other and ideally both are in Democrats hands. Frankly, the hands of a party not in the White House to be a more effective check on the damage this president can do.”
