Getting Rid of Joe Biden–Possible Scenarios
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 7/8/2022 | larry johnson

With the U.K.’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, headed for the exits, it is worth exploring whether or not Joe Biden will last his term or be forced into retirement. With growing expectations that the Republicans will sweep the House of Representatives and take back the U.S. Senate, I believe it is worth exploring whether Democrats want to cut their losses before the election and dump Biden or will they encourage him to resign before the Republican-controlled legislative bodies take control in January.

If the Democrats wait until after the Republicans are sworn in to engineer Biden’s exit, they face a real risk of not being able to appoint the Vice President to fill the job left vacant by Kamala Harris, who would replace Biden. Why? Any nominee put forward by Harris would have to be voted on by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Here are the relevant portions of the U.S. Constitution:

Article II, Section 1, Clause 6:

In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected.

Twelfth Amendment

The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

Twenty-Fifth Amendment, Section 2:

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Here are four possible scenarios:

Like McCarthy and McConnel would ever "go after" their pal Joe. Not gonna happen.

Or the Supreme Court rules for decertification of the 2020 election. There has been a lot of talk on alternative media that Roe v Wade is just a smoke screen for a decertification ruling.

I don’t see Biden being removed by legal means. If he is removed, it will be by his deep state handlers. He will either resign due to ill health or die of “natural causes”, possibly COVID or another brain aneurysm.

Nobody knew Kamala Harris was so stupid due to the fact she rarely spoke because her bosses’ johnson was always in her mouth. Prove me wrong.

Every voter who casted their vote for Biden/Harris should hang their head in shame.

If the GOP takes over the House and Senate, don't expect anything patriotic from Republicans if their initial acts are to keep RINOcrats in leadership positions.

Since there haven't been day-after-day calls for the impeachment of Traitorjoe, his idiotically incompetent VP, and the members of his entire Administration kakistocracy, no real impeachment is likely happen, Expect only more RINOcrat kabuki theater.

None of which are acceptable in my view. Because any which way, we wind up with Kamala Harris.

Or the Supreme Court rules for decertification of the 2020 election.

And what decertification case is before the court currently for them to rule on?

Biden will die with bruises all over his face and hands after he gets the Reid-McConnell treatment.
