Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, plans to raise options regarding President Biden’s health under the 25th Amendment during a meeting with House Republicans on Tuesday.
Roy told Fox News he believes Republicans need to take a stance on Biden’s abilities.
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment provides a series of steps for removing a president from office when he becomes incapacitated.
But the resolution on the 25th Amendment cannot be immediately brought to the House floor.

The bill would not be “privileged” and would not go directly to the forefront of the legislative process because it involves the executive branch rather than Congress.
Impeachment, on the other hand, can be considered a “prerogative” because these powers are listed in the Constitution as the purview of Congress.

A senior source in House Republican leadership told Fox News that any resolution on the 25th Amendment would need to go through committee first.
