If Joe Goes, What Next?

Everywhere other than in Big Media newsrooms, Americans speak openly of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline and wonder whether he can last out his four-year term. If he cannot last, there are certain things we can be confident will happen and other things about which we can only speculate. The latter will be much more intriguing.

Should Biden leave office, willingly or otherwise, Kamala Harris will become president. This is a given. Article II, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution makes clear that in "case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President."

The Constitution, as written, did not address what happens next. The 25th Amendment, adopted after the assassination of President Kennedy, answered that question, at least in principle. It reads, "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress."

In recent memory, there have been two precedents, both involving Richard Nixon. On October 10, 1973, Vice President Spiro Agnew pleaded no contest to charges of tax evasion and money-laundering and resigned. Despite Nixon's landslide victory in 1972, Democrats retained firm control of Congress, with a 50-seat majority in the House and a 14-seat majority in the Senate. This mattered. The Democrats all but dictated Nixon's choice of the congenial, moderate House minority leader, Gerald Ford, to assume the vice presidency. Ford was nominated two days after Agnew stepped down and confirmed by overwhelming majorities in both Houses of Congress.

The most powerful force keeping ol Joe in the Presidency is Dr. Jill. No matter if his senility gets 10x worse, she will find ways to cover it up and keep Joe in power. This will get very interesting.

Given Harris’s incredibly unlikeable personality and tone-deafness, she would be a lame duck from day one.

Kamala is the flaw in their plan. I think the Left failed to grasp just how awful she really is.

The Rats knowingly pushed this Braindead idiot on the American people. That’s criminal. And the media is continuing to act like he’s ok. Even some of the Republicucks are hesitant in calling Joek senile. I guess we have to wait until he’s ushered off stage mumbling to never be seen again.

Jill is like Eleanor Roosevelt. But with social media Jill can’t hide the truth.

Harris is extremely unpopular.

She will lose in 2024 if she is the nominee.

The Politburo must keep Biden in place until after the 2024 election unless they feel that they have entrenched the fraud deep enough.

Go and read the Cato report on the 2012 election in Venezuela and how Chavez won. It will shake you to your core.

Biden sees himself as a two-term president

--The Hill, Mar 24, 2021

Judging by the number of votes she got while running for president, maybe they did...

There is but ONE scenario;

The biden administration, et al, must be removed because of fraud and either return the rightful winner to the White House or call for an entirely new election !

The USSC is in the spotlight and on the line as the sole combatants in the second Revolutionary War.


OR

I was thinking more like President Wilson’s wife after he had a stroke and she basically signed everything for him.

The left still has more work for puppet man to do before they discard him. Coasting on his official designation as “moderate,” he will be able to put into law the most radical, repressive far-left legislation that we have ever seen in this country.

Then one day the powers behind the democrat party will decide that he is no longer useful, and has to go. He’ll get the phone call and the media will go to work, doing their job of changing fact into fake news.

Then we’ll be deafened by the constant babbling about “First black woman president” and we’ll be in the worst situation we’ve ever been in. She is totally unfit for office.

Nothing much will change. The Wizards behind the blue curtains are the ones with their hands on the lever of the Power of the State.

Joe is disposable. Dr. Jill, too, and will be cast aside, with honors, at the appropriate moment.

Hail Hydra. The Thousand Year Reich is reborn.

Kamala/Stacy 2024!

I am not convinced that what appears to be “SloJoe” O’Biden, is in fact Joe. I think he has an actor to fill in when he is not capable.

Remember the same discussion about Hillary during her campaign?

Nothing further.

Remember. 1 month before the November 3, 2020 election, Dominion Voting Systems was sold to the ChiCom Government. Talk about hiding the puck.

The clock is still ticking and we have a window to expose the fraud. The courts will not fix this. It is up to the State Legislatures and the citizens.
