Trump is calling for the 25th Amendment to be modified so a vice president who covers up the 'incapacity of the president' can be removed

• Donald Trump has suggested a change to the 25th Amendment.
• He said the Constitution should allow the dismissal of a vice president who covers up a president's incapacity.

Former President Donald Trump has called for a change to the Constitution, saying that a vice president who tries to cover up a president's incapacity should be impeached immediately and removed from office.

Speaking at a campaign event in Mosinee, Wisconsin, on Saturday, Trump said he would "support modifying the 25th Amendment" to support the dismissal of a vice president who "lies or engages in a conspiracy to cover up the incapacity of the president."

"If you do that with a cover-up of the president of the United States, it's grounds for impeachment immediately and removal from office, because that's what they did," Trump said to the rally crowd.

The 25th Amendment states that if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the vice president will step up to take on the top job.

This is not the first time Trump has slammed the Democrats for switching their presumptive presidential nominee from President Joe Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris.

He has often accused the Democratic Party of causing the Trump camp to waste "millions of dollars" on attacking Biden.

"We weren't fighting a vice president," he said in a rally in Michigan on August 29. "We didn't even know who the hell she was, and then all of a sudden they say, 'Joe, you're losing badly, you got to get out.'"

Harris has staunchly defended Biden's mental capacity after the disastrous June presidential debate, which had Democrats and donors questioning his fitness to run for reelection.

When asked by CNN about whether she regretted insisting that Biden was fit to run, she said she did not.

"He has the intelligence, the commitment and the judgment and disposition that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president," she said in the interview shortly after becoming the Democratic nominee.

Representatives of Trump and Harris didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, sent outside business hours.
