[ChicagoConservative27]

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is insisting Vice President Kamala Harris use the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to declare President Joe Biden incapable of performing his duties.

Roy filed a resolution on Friday regarding the issue after Biden’s disastrous performance on Thursday evening when he and former President Donald Trump debated.

The document stated:

Calling on Vice President Kamala D. Harris to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the Cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as Acting President.

People are reading too much into this.

Chip Roy just wanted to get his name in the papers.

And that he’s done.

RE: Jill won’t okay anything

We the American people voted for her to lead us.
Oh, wait.

The new Woodrow Wilson wife role coming up? She won’t let anyone past the closed bedroom doors and will tell us what the incapacitated President has decided on major issues and policy matters.
Historians now admit she actually made the decisions on policy and was effectively the acting President for months.

[chajin]

Chip has nothing to lose by saying this, since it will never happen, and saying it emphasizes Kamala’s lack of support.

[MinorityRepublican]

Suppose Kamala Harris goes on social media and demand that Joe Biden resigns.

The American people will support her.

Most of the Democratic Party will support her. Not the power brokers in the DNC. Especially not the Deep State.

Kamala Harris won't have the guts to do that because she's afraid.

Kamala Harris only has race. Even though she’s not African-American.

She’s 100% Racial grievances and stoking Hate.

She wants to cry about her struggle when she’s been privileged and used race and sexual favors to advance.

> It takes a two-thirds majority to remove Resident Biden under the 25th amendment. <

I thought that as well. But then another FReeper correctly pointed out that Congress is not involved, at least at first. If the VP and a majority of the cabinet want the president removed, he is removed. The VP immediately becomes the acting president.

If the actual president objects, a complicated process starts that does involve Congress, as you noted.

Calling a press conference would be better. More official.

No...no...no...NO! Let him stay in office and face the worst Democrat defeat since George McGovern in 1972 against Nixon. He only got 17 electoral voates and didn't even carry his own state. It would be great to see Biden destroy that record.

I wouldn't do it that way. The media is in the tank for Joe Biden. Therefore, controlled by the Deep State.

[Billthedrill]

Anything Kammy does with respect to the 25th Amendment would require a 2/3 majority in both houses of Congress to make stick against the sitting President's wishes. Best of luck with that one. And success will leave us President Harris against a surging Trump in November. Best of luck with that one too.

The most likely option appears to me at the moment to be sticking with Biden, running a monster "he's OK" gaslighting campaign in the media, and cheating like hell where they can get away with it. The real problem is not the Democrat candidate, it's one Donald Trump, and I hope his security is up to the job.

[KamalaKancel]

Correct.

Kamala Harris is 53% CAUCASIAN.

This is woth repeating, as it is per her mother's own self-identification on her 1964 birth certificate, plus her father's partial lineage from the 1820's plantation owner Hamilton Brown of Jamaica.

[KamalaKancel]

A 25th Amendment action would result in a President Johnson, once evidence of Kamala’s ineligibility for her office is verified by Congress.

[Political Junkie Too]

giving the nation a taste of whatever the heck it is she goes on about.

It's best to do that while she's only the Acting President and not the real thing.

No robot at Disney World for her!

great...section 4 is a land mine.
If I'm a repub I vote to keep Pres. Biden

All Joe Biden has to do is say he is ok...then all hell breaks loose.(so hell is exothermic?)

"...Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days 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.

Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session.
If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Alinsky might say:

"Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
Conservatives could leverage the perception of Biden's weaknesses, such as his age and cognitive abilities, to create an image of a vulnerable and ineffective leader. This could be used to demoralize his supporters and energize their own base.

"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
By continuously highlighting and mocking Biden's debate performance and any subsequent gaffes, conservatives can undermine his credibility and leadership. Ridicule can be a powerful tool to erode public confidence in Biden's ability to govern.

"Keep the pressure on. Never let up."
Conservatives might maintain a relentless focus on Biden's perceived failures, ensuring that his weaknesses remain a constant topic of discussion. This could involve media campaigns, social media posts, and public statements that keep the pressure on Biden and his administration.

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
By focusing specifically on Biden's age and cognitive abilities, conservatives can personalize the issue and create a polarized narrative. This tactic aims to make Biden the embodiment of the Democratic Party's perceived failures, thereby polarizing public opinion against him.

"If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside."
By consistently emphasizing Biden's weaknesses, conservatives might aim to create a broader narrative that the Democratic Party is out of touch and ineffective. This could potentially lead to a shift in public opinion that favors conservative policies and candidates.

Strategic Considerations

Long-Term Impact: Leaving Biden in office while highlighting his weaknesses could be a long-term strategy to weaken the Democratic Party's position. If Biden continues to perform poorly, it might lead to broader disillusionment among Democratic voters.

Electoral Strategy: By focusing on Biden's perceived incompetence, conservatives could aim to sway undecided voters and moderate Democrats who might be concerned about his ability to lead effectively.

Internal Democratic Tensions: Highlighting Biden's weaknesses could exacerbate internal tensions within the Democratic Party, potentially leading to divisions and a lack of cohesive strategy going into the election.

A completely reasonable request... The Dumocrats have hoodwinked America and the world into thinking that Biden was okay... Biden is not okay. He’s not running the free world, his wife and aids are... And nobody elected his wife and aids... America needs a president now, not a puppet who’s strings are controlled by his wife.

Biden can’t be forced to resign without the 25th amendment being enacted, and the Dumcrats haven’t got the kahuna’s to see it through.

So on Monday the NY Slimes and other currently outraged media outlets will do their best to convince America and the world that Biden’s performance was ‘cold’ related... It was a deepfake, a pure illusion that Biden is a drooler... They will say that he’s in ‘total’ control and that he will be fine once his ‘cold’ has passed... Wait for it.

[shadowlands1960]

That’s the way I read sec. 4 also... only need Congress to act if President disputes his incapacity.

[pas]

exactly. why would we want him to drop out of the race

[joe fonebone]

Well....
Who’s got their fingers on the nuclear trigger?
