The Republican lawmaker said a House panel “will look into whether or not we actually had a shadow presidency for a large part of [Biden’s] term,” though it’s unclear whether any committee is preparing for the probe just yet.
The reclusive O’Connor, who told The Post Biden’s mental fitness was “excellent” just four days after his boss was forced out of the 2024 race, was asked last year to come in for questioning before the GOP-led House Oversight Committee, though it’s unclear if he ever responded to the voluntary request.
Jackson said House GOP lawmakers also want to haul in doctors and other experts who may have “tested and evaluated” Biden, who was 82-years-old when running for re-election, for “Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and whatever else.”
One Parkinson’s specialist at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Dr. Kevin Cannard, visited the White House eight times between July 2023 and March 2024, per visitor logs, though O’Connor stressed that just three of those visits were held with the president for annual physicals.
Asked whether Americans should be concerned about the visits, O’Connor told The Post last July: “No, he’s good.”
The White House earlier that year said O’Connor believed the commander-in-chief “doesn’t need a cognitive test” — even as Biden had mixed up the names of dead and living foreign dignitaries in public remarks, and was not prosecuted by Robert Hur in part because the special counsel said a jury would view him as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

““Shadow Presidency” - AKA Obama’s third term.”
Exactly. I’m sure the pudgy little DO was paid plenty to cover for the whole puppet show.
Congress to grill reclusive White House doctor on Biden’s mental decline.
Well dang they hadn’t a clue all the time he was in the senate.
The flaw in the 25th amendment is that it apparently wasn't intended for a permanently incapacitated President. The 25th amendment has no provisions for vacating the office of the President.
If Biden were removed from his duties (not removed from office) and Harris made Acting President, Biden would still occupy the White House residence and Harris would have to commute to the Oval Office for the rest of Biden's term.
A permanently incapacitated President would have to voluntarily resign the office before the Acting President can become the full President and move into the White House. I can't see Doctor Jill letting that happen if she can legally hold onto the trappings of the office. She would technically still be the First Lady while Harris was Acting President.
It would have been quite the spectacle if Harris and the Cabinet invoked the 25th amendment to take control of the Oval Office, while Biden still roamed the halls in his pajamas until January 20, 2025.

Of congress want to find out anything from a doctor then they are going have to pose as an insurance company.
Incompetence in our government knows no bounds. Pull this guy’s medical license.
The medical coverup of President Biden’s mental incompetency
was one of the worst instances of professional disregard of the American nation’s well being in its history. It rivals Woodrow Wilson’s stroke in 1919, FDR’s malignant hypertension at Yalta, and JFK’s amphetamine addiction during the end of his presidency.
In Dr. O’Connor’s defense, he may have been too close to President Biden, serving as his personal physician continuously for 16 years.

Probably correct she diverted SS agents to herself and had the most to lose by going off to Shady Acres.
Congressional Democrats just had their first “shadow government” hearing.
“We brought together both chambers of Congress to conduct real oversight & to serve as a check & balance, to hold those who issue power to account & to carry out a constitutional duty.”
