This is purely hypothetical. (Please do not give political or personal rant!) If the President of the US gets mentally unstable, in the extreme - irrational - to the extent that the President's actions pose an imminent threat to the nation, say, within moments or hours, and if the President refuses to admit that irrationality, then who, if anyone, has the *legal* power to determine that disability (in time to avoid the threat) and who, if anyone, has the *legal* power to take *legal* action, if any (in time to avoid the threat), and what *legal* action may they take (in time to avoid the threat)? (My question is inspired by the TV series 24/7, in case you've seen it...)
