Joe Biden appears to be in a free fall in the polls, yet he appears unwilling to drop out of the presidential race. His campaign, the White House, and the Democratic Party are all in chaos. If Biden won't leave, what is the party to do? If "Plan B" is replacing Biden and he won't go, a left-wing scholar is advocating a "Plan C" to save the president's floundering campaign.
Supporters of this plan suggest a straightforward strategy to counter Trump’s growing campaign momentum: replace Vice President Kamala Harris with former President Barack Obama.
“A Biden-Obama ticket would have a much better chance of beating Trump,” explained John Banzhaf, a professor at George Washington University Law School.
“Barack Obama is likely one of the few individuals whom a majority of Americans would want and trust as president," he claimed, without evidence. "Making Plan C possibly the least objectionable of several unappealing options now available to Biden and the Democratic Party."
Banzhaf argues that none of the alternatives to Biden appear to be in any better position to win the presidency, and even if they were, the money raised by the Biden-Harris campaign can't simply be transferred to another campaign.
You're probably thinking, "But what about the 22nd Amendment?"
Banzhaf argues that the 22nd Amendment, often cited as a barrier to Barack Obama serving as president again, doesn't actually prevent him from becoming vice president and then succeeding to the presidency.
The 22nd Amendment:
"No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of the president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the president more than once."

Conveniently they leave out the part that says you can’t be VP if you are disqualified to be president
Still, creates confusion and a reason for them to scream like wounded sheep...
This has been postulated prior.
I would argue that it qualifies preemptive action as this constitutes a conspiracy to conduct a coup (’this’ being the origin of the conspiracy as nomination of biden in 2019 in the first place knowing full well he would not finish his term).
Get ready for it: Harris/0bama 2024.
So, who still believes the Russians are our greatest enemy? /s
They would do us all a favor by making good on their threat.
Can’t, VP candidate must meet same regulations as President.
HE IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, EITHER.
HE WAS NEVER ELIGIBLE TO RUN IN 2008.
The laws and constitution are quite explicit on the issue of VP and President
If you are barred from serving more than two terms , you are constitutionally barred to be VP
Now they’re floating Josh Shapiro ,the governor of PA, as a possible vp for Kamala. Would anyone with future political plans want to hitch their wagon to her?
HOWARD DEAN & NANCY PELOSI SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE FOR THAT, IMO.
DEAN NEVER VETTED OBAMA
PELOSI signed a “CERTIFICATION” THAT was a scam.
I’ve heard him mentioned as the nominee.If he was he’s probably carry PA...very important.
SHE OF THE “I HATE AMERICA” THESIS?????
Bingo
Can’t be done...another cr** blog
Good grief. Already debunked as not allowable.
The very last line of the 12th Amendment reads: But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
So a former two-term President is not eligible to be Vice-President.
But what the hell, the article garnered clicks and created the expected controversy here on FR.......LOL!
touche....
After calling the shots during Biden’s time, why should Zero now want to take the back seat?
Not this stupid shit again.
It isn’t going to happen. It isn’t a consideration. The Democrats are not thinking about doing this.
This comes up over and over and over.
In 1988 the Democrats were saying that the Republicans were going to do this with Reagan. In 2000 the Republicans said the Democrats were going to do it with Bill Clinton. Now people are back at it again.
Stupid fantasy to sell articles.
Lot of good that did in
Kamala’s case. The Dems
will just ignore it.
Or the 308th
You’ve been around long enough to know that constitutional laws don’t apply to Democrats.
