If Bush went crazy or was otherwise incapacitated, Amendment 25, Section 4 would apply; it says that if the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet determine that the President cannot fulfill the duties of his office, they transmit in writing to the President Pro Tem of the Senate a document saying so; at that point, the Vice President assumes the duties of the President. If the President says, "No, I'm fine" in writing to the same group, he takes back his duties. Then, if the VP and the Cabinet STILL say he's incapacitated, it's up to the Congress to decide whether or not he can do it, and it has to be by a two-thirds majority. The text is below:
"Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office."

Bush was crazy so far back he bought them losers the texas rangers baseball team. just like our military now, they never had a defense or offense, and no pitch for getting the game plan done.
