the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office

In case of death, or disability
the Twenty-fifth amendment has a plan
to lend a government stability
despite the frailties of mortal man.
Melania may channel Donald's will
like Edith did, when Woodrow had his stroke.
She's as respected on Capitol Hill,
and more importantly, by David Koch.
But ratifying we redressed that flaw;
we're not at leisure to extemporize
what's set--if not in stone, at least in law
increasingly, seems cut to Donald's size.
The VP's desk is where it's got to start
by now, Mike Pence must know that text by heart.
