Oh, they will get rid of Biden. There is little choice in the matter.
It will be President Harris, but she will not be “leading.”
They used the excuse of Obamacare to get Barack back into the White House light. Obama will be the VP nominee. And will be approved.
The only regime change that is going to happen is here in America. How quickly my mind ticks off global events and alignments this morning on half a cup of coffee is kind of frightening even to me.
Technically, Obama, is the only viable candidate the left has and might have the ability to save the Party during the midterms. But ...what does the move do for them heading into 2024?
We already know they cannot seem to reign in Harris, her entire staff has quit at this point. She just becomes a place-holder for the next 2.5 years.
What I see is they will be looking for a VP nominee that can manage a war footing. Sort of like what Cheney did for Bush behind the scenes. Oh, wait, did I say...Cheney? War footing? Yes, Putins folly in Ukraine is now heading into a protracted war. Biden is unwilling to go to war and millions of Americans agree with him. Or at least agree to not go into war under Biden for sure.
But ... war is coming for the world. We are just in the opening salvo. And America doesn’t have a ‘war’ CINC. Putin is showing the world what real war looks like. No rule of engagement. The media screams ‘innocent civilians,’ at the same time the Ukraine government armed up their citizens and many stayed to fight Russia. Putin doesn’t fight polite wars.
The world knows this, Europe knows this, Syria knows this, China knows this and as Americans witness scenes of “innocent” civilians in the streets and mass graves...Americans are learning this. These scenes, what we would normally see on the nightly news, are being used to gin up support for the Ukraine war. With poll numbers of Biden in the dumpster fire, America cannot commit much of anything other than material support to the Ukrainian effort.
But the democrats see an opportunity going to waste. So, was the conversation with Obama behind the scenes would he do what he does best in the VP slot? Lead from behind? Will they remove Biden or just remove Harris whose staff keeps quitting on her? Or does she respect Obama enough to finally listen to someone? Just look at that video of the two of them closely. She seems way to happy to be standing glad handing next to Obama.
Obama back at the White House as Vice President to Harris. Given the political and global situation, it is the only choice they have.
There are potential loop-holes in the 12th Amendment and the 22nd Amendment that could realistically put Barack back in the White House as the Vice President. It all rests in the semantics of the language of what does ‘elected’ vs. ‘nominated’ actually mean.

As with many laws, there are often loopholes that can allow savvy individuals to get away with things.
This case may also be true for the issue of whether a former president can be a vice president.
In particular, one has to consider the wording of the 12th Amendment.
The 12th Amendment specifically states this: “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”
Some lawmakers might read this and think that because the president already served two elections, then that makes them ineligible to be president.
As a result, they’re unable to be the vice president.
However, a possible loophole to the case might be in the context.
For example, someone who was the president is clearly eligible for the role.
They would not have been the president otherwise.
As such, that makes them eligible for the role of president.
Since they’re eligible, in that they meet the requirements of being a citizen and of a certain age, then they’re also eligible to be vice president.
Another loophole to consider is in the 22nd Amendment.
The amendment states that a president cannot be elected to office after serving two terms.
However, the vice president isn’t elected to the presidential office when the president dies or steps down.
They take it over automatically.
As such, they’re not technically defying the law since they’re not elected president in the first place.
Although lawmakers will likely argue that the case is semantic in nature, it will ultimately be up to the judicial branch to determine if a former president who has served two terms can be a vice president, too.

And does anyone here really believe given the current situation the Judicial Branch is going to vote...that this cannot happen?
“The amendment states that a president cannot be elected to office after serving two terms.
“However, the vice president isn’t elected to the presidential office when the president dies or steps down.”
Yes. That pesky “elected” word sure could bugger up the works.
Why would he want to?
He has more flexibility and power running his puppet(s) - he’s already had eight years of that misery of having to keep up pretenses and act under legal authority.
We’re looking for who he would select.
I doubt they would pick BObama, simply because they need someone ready to go in 2024, and Obama’s not going to be it. Michelle is much more likely. Barack would call the shots behind the scenes either way, of course.
They are not eligible for the role. They WERE eligible for the role, but they are no longer eligible.
