That’s why I’m supporting this legislation to formalize Congress's role in the 25th Amendment process. By creating clearer pathways to address an unstable or incapacitated president, we’re ensuring that the White House remains accountable to the American people.

Carbajal endorses the bill to strengthen the 25th Amendment by establishing a clearer congressional process for assessing presidential incapacity.

Evidence

Last Action Date Listed: April 14, 2026. Action: Mr. Raskin (for himself and dozens of co-sponsors, including California Rep. Salud Carbajal) introduced H.R. 8275, the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of the Office Act, in the House. Committees listed: House Judiciary and House Rules.

Carbajal supported the introduced legislation, but the official bill record still shows only introduction and committee referral, not enactment or final House action as of the lookback window.

Rep. Salud Carbajal said, 'That's why I'm supporting this legislation to formalize Congress's role in the 25th Amendment process. By creating clearer pathways to address an unstable or incapacitated president, we're ensuring that the White House remains accountable to the American people.' The release says he signed onto Rep. Jamie Raskin's bill to create a Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office.

Carbajal publicly committed support for the specific 25th Amendment commission bill, demonstrating the concrete action, but the release does not show the legislation was passed or otherwise delivered.

Congress. "CRI2026 - CROCKETT, JASMINE (a Representative from Texas)". U.S. Government Publishing Office, May 18, 2026. The page is a Congressional Record Index entry for the 119th Congress, 2nd Session that lists H.R. 8275 under Congressional Bills.

A May 18 Congressional Record Index entry still indexes H.R. 8275, showing the bill remained active enough to be tracked in official congressional records during the lookback window, but the page does not show enactment, committee approval, or floor passage.

A May 16 Congressional Record Index entry also references H.R. 8275, reinforcing that the bill was still present in official congressional records in the recent lookback period, but it does not document legislative completion.

Last Action Date Listed: April 14, 2026. Action: Mr. Raskin ... introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Rules ... Bill Version: Introduced in House (IH).

The official bill record still shows only introduction and committee referral, with no later House action or enactment shown, so the commitment remains unfulfilled as of the lookback window.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Carbajal fulfilled the effort component by publicly supporting and joining H.R. 8275, the Raskin bill to establish a Commission on Presidential Capacity and formalize Congress's role under the 25th Amendment. However, the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and referred to the House Judiciary and Rules Committees on April 14, 2026, with no enactment, House passage, or comparable executive/legal implementation. Because the promised outcome was to support legislation creating clearer 25th Amendment pathways, and the legislation has not passed, this is not delivered, but it merits an effort badge for a serious same-term legislative attempt.
