Amid Concerns for Biden's Mental Health, The 25th Amendment May Be Invoked Soon
Wealth of Geeks ^ | 11/3/22

Posted on 11/04/2022 2:40:34 AM PDT by EBH

It may be coming time for the country to fully address a very polarizing topic: President Biden's mental health. The conversation about the president's mental health actually started when Trump was in office.

Unfit for Office After his inauguration in 2017, Donald Trump was faced with claims that he was not fit to be the president due to his mental health issues. In January 2018, he asked his doctor to administer a cognitive test to put the topic to rest.

On top of the mental health concerns, people were also attempting to have him removed from office based on these concerns. Members of Congress asked the Congressional Research Service to provide an overview of the 25th amendment and its history and purpose.

Another motive for requesting this information was to understand the process for removing a president from office.

In December 2019, 350 psychiatrists and mental health professionals signed a petition claiming that Trump's mental health was “rapidly deteriorating.” The accusations and claims picked up momentum after the 2020 election and the January 6th incident.

A group of Democrats attempted to create a “presidential disability review body” in 2017 to help with the impeachment process, but they ultimately failed.

Can Biden Pull Through? We have frequently seen Biden seemingly wander off after a speech without knowing where he was going and needing someone to direct him. He sometimes seems confused when giving speeches as well and loses his train of thought.

This behavior is not unusual for older people, and Biden is right up there with them, turning 80 this month. There are quite a few seniors who are still intellectually vigorous, but Biden isn't the average senior. He is the leader of the free world, and expectations for him and his mental capacity are different than for normal people.

They are saying the words out loud and floating trial balloons in their media.

Yup, just as we figured. Wait until after the midterms so harris can finish out this term and still hold two more full terms as president when she gets “elected” to office.

Oh good, then Kamala will be President. That will be so much better.

Kamala will have a drug-induced 24/7 panic attack and resign, leaving Pelosi as President. They’ll pull this off before the MAGA Congress is sworn in, so she’ll serve until 2024. God help us.

There’s no comparing Trumps brain to Byedone. Trump has gray matter and Brandon has a sponge.

Thanks. I was wondering what the timeline is for Kamala to potentially serve 10 years. Is it the date of the mid-term or the date the newbies officially take office?

There is no way the DemonRats can pull this off between 9 Nov and 3 Jan. If they try this in the 60 day span, that stunt will make Jan 6 look like a book club meeting at the local library. Bullets may fly and rightfully so. Then again, if DemonRats want to commit suicide, should they be stopped?

Anyone with half a clue knows this was an issue during the 2020 campaign. Jill Biden should be tried and convicted of elder abuse.

This is such a crock of shit. Trump’s wit and prowess as a speaker and leader shows that he has all his cognitive attributes. They just hate Trump and what he stands for “Freedom for the American People”. Biden should be in a home playing checkers not dealing with world leaders and situations that maybe millions of people’s lives depend on. Half these feeble congressmen and women have the same problem Biden has . Thier brain is gone. Can anyone say term limits?

Oh please, bullets will not fly if they do this. Put down the hyperbole before you get someone hurt.

The truth is, if they are going to do this, Democrats have to do it. There is no way Republicans are going to do it short of a nuclear event.

This little problem with Biden is in the Democrat’s court.

If we take the true Red Wave and gain a real majority we can override pretty much anything through legislation and the power of the VETO override. We have not seen a good use of it in years. AND we can do that whether it is Biden or Harris or Pelosi sitting in that Presidential seat.

You miss the point...they are talking about Biden, even though they introduce the topic with Trump.

The fact they are discussing this in their own low media suggests this is going to happen soon to Biden. These type of articles are trial balloons.

“ The fact they are discussing this in their own low media suggests this is going to happen soon to Biden. These type of articles are trial balloons.”

Biden isn’t going anywhere if Republicans take both houses. They will just box him in for two years. If anything, they could impeach Biden for Ukraine’s quid pro quo, which is on tape, impeach Harris for being an incompetent boob and McCarthy becomes President. He then names Trump as VP, resigns and Trump takes over.

If y’all remember, this was the Hillary gambit for impeaching Trump.

The 25th Amendment will not be considered or invoked unless the president is hospitalized or dead.

Once Biden is replaced by Harris, the question is simply a matter of the house picking a new vice-president. Simple majority? Can a lame-duck Democrat House pull this off or would it wait for the new Republican-led House?

If Harris is out as well, then Pelosi become president. And either a Democrat or Republican-led House picks a new vice president.

How about this... A new vice president is picked by the Republican House? Choice One is Donald Trump. Would "Republicans" actually do this?

Biden must stay president until after January 20, 2023 for Kamala to be eligible for the ten year limit.

Precedent is the President picks a new VP not the House. See Nixon-Ford.

The fever dream of Trump coming back will never happen.

Having Harris as President would be like having a female version of Fetterman.

It’s from the date she’d be sworn in. One day after would allow her to ‘try’ for up to 10 years. But that won’t happen.
