I really think this is how they will get rid of him. A dead Trump puts Pence in without having to admit anything and saves the country from the craziest one. They can work with Pence.

I expect the Reps have at least considered this.

If this was required, RepubliCONs would have a very difficult time finding candidates.

And had his "doctor" release a one page letter saying that Trump was the healthiest candidate in the history of candidates.

It's one of those things (like tax returns) that candidates usually release, but there is no law requiring it.
