Because US officals only let law apply to poor people

I can’t find what a 430 hearing is. Is it like a 5150?

The real answer is, it’s complicated. Involuntary commitment (and related acts) is a pretty extreme measure for when an individual is a danger to themselves or others. There’s no evidence that he’s trying to hurt himself, and the “other” usually has to be a specific person, not just a hypothetical class of others to have standing.

And it’s even more complicated by the idea that the president has been gifted broad immunity regarding anything remotely tangential to official powers. So you can’t even say you, specifically, are in danger due to things done by the government, so long as there is some whack job theory under which it’s being executed.

If he came alone to your house naked and covered in nacho cheese with a knife threatening to hurt you, you’d probably have a case. Depending on the state, it probably takes something similar even for a family member or acquaintance (but check your local laws).

Did you miss the news? The president has “absolute presumed immunity for ‘official’ acts”.

Just like the good ol’ days _/s where insane kings wage wars, massacres, and massive destruction.

Edit: But even assuming before 2025, when we still had the rule of law, it’s up to the vice president + a majority of the cabinet to, via the 25th amendment, declare the president “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office”, and then congress has 21 days to vote, via 2/3 supermajority in both houses, to finalize it and makes the VP, permanent Acting President.

Normal impeachment is easier, only takes 1/2+1 of the house and doesn’t require the VP’s cooperation, this convoluted “inability” clause is even harder to invoke.

Also, the then you’d have an insane Acting President, so problem isn’t really solved.
