Washington, D.C. – In a stunning turn of events, the Democratic National Committee is set to hold an emergency meeting to discuss replacing Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential nominee after she was caught on camera collapsing during a 9/11 memorial in New York.

Emmy award-winning journalist David Shuster noted in a social media post that Democratic Party operatives are in the process of planning a crisis summit to discuss alternatives to Clinton. The ongoing media speculation, about potentially serious health issues, was confirmed with this latest incident.

In an effort to cover up her heath problems, the Clinton campaign initially denied any health related issues and blamed the collapse on heat exhaustion only to later come forward and admit that Hillary has been suffering from a case of pneumonia for the past three days. This admission raises the distinct possibility of a larger cover-up related to her health problems.

A Democratic operative reportedly told Shuster that the combination of the shocking footage of Clinton collapsing at the 9/11 memorial, along with her campaign hiding the fact that she had been suffering from pneumonia for the past three days – represented "uncharted political territory."

A Democratic operative reportedly told Shuster that the combination of the shocking footage of Clinton collapsing at the 9/11 memorial, along with her campaign hiding the fact that she had been suffering from pneumonia for the past three days – represented "uncharted political territory."

However, aside from strategizing, the DNC does not technically have the ability to replace Clinton according to party bylaws.

"We can make contingencies, argue, plead with Hillary Clinton, but DNC bylaws are clear her nominee status now totally up to her," a top Democrat told Shuster.

Additionally, top Democratic strategists and Hillary advisors have expressed serious concerns that the dramatic collapse footage, in concert with her campaign's continued attempts to hide her health woes, was a potentially massive game changer.

"The Clintons have this notion that they only go as far as they need to" in terms of disclosure, an ally close to the former president told Politico. "They can't afford to approach this that way."

"It's going to be something that people aren't going to be able to stop talking about, so we'll see," added James Carville, a long time close confidante of Hillary Clinton.
