Has the president lost his ability to discharge the powers and duties of office?
Washington Times ^ | 1 Dec, 2015 | Charles Hurt

Is it now time to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment? Has our president officially lost his ability to discharge the powers and duties of his office?

Anyone who listened to President Obama speak to reporters in Paris on Tuesday would reasonably conclude it is high time to start drawing up the papers to transmit to Congress for his removal.

If you are one of the millions and millions of literate Americans out there who have simply tuned this president out the past three or four years, that is certainly understandable. But if you tuned in to the long, rambling, empty press conference, you would have been truly alarmed.

Without the use of the teleprompter, his speech can be described only as "halting." It was impossible to count the number of times he seized up, able to deaden the silence with only a drawn-out "uh," "um" or "ahhh."

He’s been like that from the start.

A stuttering idiot.

And if anyone has been listening to Democrats and RINOs of late, one can see how far away such an event has been pushed by them.

Synonymous, I thought. Even if one does not read Marx’s works, a look at his life reveals a deep-seated madness.

Lost? That is to presume it was EVER present.

Listened to a CBS clip of an interview he did today.

He sounded like he was about to roll up in a ball and cry like a little girl.

Nothing against little girls.

I disagree. Our Dear Leader knows exactly what he is doing and is smart enough to convince you he is incompetent while he is having great successes in destroying America.

When I think, “discharge”, I think, “0bama”.

I don’t think he ever had the ability to discharge the powers and duties of office of the President of the United States but I still wish someone would make him go see a shrink.

It’s funny that the twenty-fifth was invoked in this article. That would put Biden in the White House. Or Paul Ryan if Biden was also found unfit.

He certainly discharged the powers of the Secretary General of the USSR instead.

I have been calling for the 25th amendment to be invoked for months now.

It’s become brutally obvious that, in 2009, Official Washington and Big Media agreed the “First Black President” must always be portrayed as competent, thoughtful, brilliant ... indeed, a veritable Superman! Both entities have literally BENT REALITY ever since to hide the ignorance, pettiness, and danger of this man. This is not, however, an illusion that can last forever. And I see it coming apart almost daily.

It'll NEVER happen...

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

His cabinet won't turn on him and Congress cannot pass a law without the Senate and the the Incapacitated One himself signing it. A25 is a dead-end. Now if he starts accusing Biden of hiding his strawberries...well, that's a different matter altogether...

"Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers..."

I agree that Hanlon’s Razor does not apply to Obama, but it possibly may have in the case of Karl, his ideological prophet.

He never had the ability to begin with.
