I was discussing this with friends. It was pointed out that if the 25th Amendment Biden, Harris is only Acting-President. It is set with the expectation that the president could return to duty. If it looks like Joe is incapable of returning to office, 2/3 of each the house and the senate have to vote to kick him out. Maybe the Republican House would prevent Harris from moving up.

It was further pointed out that Jill likes being First Lady, so she will never let Joe resign. She would wait for him to die so she could have the best funeral for him. She could play the grieving widow when it matters. Especially, since she didn’t get the traditional Inaugural Ball.

I think SlowJoe could serve in a vegetative state for a long time, as long as there is a detectable pulse.

We had an incapacitated Democrat Congress critter from Indiana, Julia Carson, who used to get wheeled into the Capitol when her “vote” was needed. I think that went on for nearly two years. Finally she croaked and they elected her grandson.

They wheeled Senator Robert Byrd (KKK) in for votes before he finally expired. Biden will live another 2 years at least unless someone helps him shuffle off his mortal coil.

Newly inaugurated presidents generally deliver an address to Congress in February of the first year of their term, but this speech is not officially considered to be a "State of the Union".

It is not "officially considered" the State of the Union, even though the media always refers to it as the State of the Union Address. As far as Presidents "generally" giving an address to Congress in February of the first year of their term:

President Ronald Reagan (first term): February 18, 1981
President Ronald Reagan (second term): February 06, 1985
President George H.W. Bush: February 09, 1989
President Bill Clinton (first term): February 17, 1993
President Bill Clinton (second term): February 04, 1997
President George W. Bush (first term): February 27, 2001
President George W. Bush (second term): February 02, 2005
President Barack Obama (first term): February 24, 2009
President Barack Obama (second term): February 12, 2013
President Donald Trump (first term): February 28, 2017

The last President who failed to deliver an address to a joint session of Congress in February of either his first or second term was Jimmy Carter, and we all know how that worked out for him.

I’d say you’re pretty close with your April 1 date. Being April Fools Day just adds a little zing to it.

I wonder if he wears matching slippers as he shuffles down the White House halls.

The ineffectual caterwauling of the deep state weenies via the zombie Biden becomes more evident each day.

Always remember that the deep state was birthed when it totally missed the muster of one million ChiComm combat troops at the Korean border in 1950 during the Korean war.

The deep state’s clusterflocks are many and well known.

Now remember, too, Alinsky’s No. 1 rule: “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”

The deep state is a paper tiger.

Biden will be gone by July 4. His rapid deterioration is being covered up and even a few carefully scripted events before sympathetic crowds have been a disaster. I think certainly the Democratic leadership and many in Congress know Joe’s condition. They cannot hide it for long and there is always the possibility of leaks in Washington. Joe will have to do a State of the Union address and I expect a disaster. Replacing Joe so quickly will raise awkward questions about who knew before the election and the validity of EOs signed by someone mentally incompetent.

You mean “Dr Jill?” /s

Yes, she should be. Sleepy Joe is just a puppet for the lefties.

Right-and so is Camel Face...but I'm sure she's got enough naked ambition, and blind, dumb arrogance to assume it's the other way around.

“O’Bozo” actually thought HE was a ‘’President’, too.

The Liberal bench is broad but very shallow. There is no end to that myriad of superficial, stupid, selfish and complaisantly self-important grifters. The only pre requisite is that they possess enough pathological, self-loathing to eagerly surrender themselves to the corrupt DNC cabal.

I started a thread on this on 6 Jan. My bet is March 31.

The GOP ought to be POUNDING on the WH to do a SOTU. Every day, I’d be asking ‘Where’s Joe, and why can’t he talk about the State of the Union?’

I'll bet the press has been instructed to ask only "yes and no" questions.

Strike that!

The press has been instructed to only ask "yes" questions. Even a binary choice would easily befuddle him.

"Do you like your vanilla pudding? Please say yes."
"Are you the President? Please say yes."
"Are you a good boy? Please say yes."
