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.

Assessments
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.
