GOP Rep. Chip Roy on a Rescue Mission to Save Democrats — Proposes Resolution to Initiate 25th Amendment Proceedings Against Joe Biden – Will Save Democrats, Allow Them to Run Candidate in All 50 States
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 30, 2024 | Jim Hoft

Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas), who has previously endorsed Florida Governor Ron Desantis, is now seemingly attempting to undermine his own party by proposing a resolution urging Kamala Harris to initiate proceedings under the 25th Amendment to declare Joe Biden unfit for office.

.... Snip....

Rep. Roy appears to be on a mission to rescue the Democrat party from what he perceives as a leadership crisis. His proposed resolution seeks to use the 25th Amendment as a tool to declare President Biden unable to perform his duties, a move that some critics are calling the “dumbest thing” to do.

He’s worse than a RINO.

He’s a DIRC. (Dem in RINO clothing.)

There are not many Constitutionalists left in government. The (R) and (D) labels have become nearly irrelevant - what remains is this:

"Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire." -- Robert A. Heinlein

The optimal solution seen through a political lens is to leave Biden in office.

That could be the more dangerous option strategically with regard to our foreign enemies, although one CANNOT say with any certainty Kamala Harris would be a preferable option even in the short term.

Maybe. I think we can ring the 25 th Amendment bell without unseating Biden. It does him no favors in the run-up to the election, and shines a spotlight on you-know-who as the likely POTUS, this time next year, should Biden/Harris “win.”

BTW, approval of a replacement vice-president for Harris would have to be approved by BOTH houses of Congress, which would put Republican Speaker Johnson both next in line and with a veto over her replacement.

Might be good strategy. Put Kamila in the WH before they can swap Biden for any other more electable candidate.

"His proposed resolution seeks to use the 25th Amendment as a tool to declare President Biden unable to perform his duties"

Duties he has been unable to do for probably a year or two already and the country still stands. What's a few more months? This is nothing but a red herring and Chip Roy needs to go.

I’m not buying the charge that this move is either ill-considered or ill-motivated.

It seems smart and helpful to me.

Joe Biden is unfit to be President. That is simply the truth.

It is a national security crisis that our Commander-in-Chief is demented. Fact.

The reason we’re in this situation is because the Democrats and the media are evil, cynical liars. Fact.

So how does it hurt the GOP to have a weeks-long national conversation concerning the fact that the evil lying Democrats and their leftist media co-conspirators have put us in a terrible national security crisis?

House GOP Reps don’t have a very high IQ in general. It is quite apparent. This guy cannot think strategically at all.

Totally meaningless. His resolution wouldn’t force Harris to do anything.

“Duties he has been unable to do for probably a year or two already and the country still stands. “

I honestly believe that he was incapable the day the he entered office. In this case it is irrelevant because he was never the one making presidential decisions. He is just the puppet face.

Maybe a blessing in disguise. Republicans will have the strongest mandate if they win on the issues, i.e., on how the left is wrecking America, rather than on ballot eligibility or Biden’s dementia. Not easy for Republicans, but they need to learn.

Will a 25th Amendment action provoke a Constitutional Crisis (based on the ineligibility of Kamala Harris to assume the Presidency)?

Chip Roy is a Trey Gowdy clone; cannot be trusted.

As I posted yesterday ...

Chip Roy is a moron. The 25th Amendment was never designed for the removal of a president against his will due to incompetence or incapacity. It is designed to be used in the event of a medical emergency or wartime scenario where the president is temporarily incapacitated or out of contact.

Perhaps this dim bulb isn’t aware that the threshold in Congress for declaring a president unfit for office under the 25th Amendment is higher than the threshold for simply impeaching and removing him.

You don’t think there’s a prayer that Harris acts on the word of Chip Roy, do you?

I was giving the benefit of the doubt. Chances are he’s been gone, or more or less that way, since at least the end of his Vice Presidency.
