Heritage Foundation Vows to Make ‘Extraordinarily Difficult’ to Replace Biden on the Ballot
Breitbart ^ | 07/03/2024 | SEAN MORAN

Posted on 07/03/2024 9:36:16 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The Heritage Foundation vowed Wednesday to make it “extraordinarily difficult” for Democrats to replace President Joe Biden on the ballot.

“If the Biden family decides that President Biden will not run for re-election, the mechanisms for replacing him on ballots vary by state. There is the potential for pre-election litigation in some states that would make the process difficult and perhaps unsuccessful,” Heritage Oversight Project stated in a memo that was compiled in April and released last week ahead of President Joe Biden’s “disastrous” debate performance.

Heritage Oversight Project Executive Director Mike Howell, who authored the memo, said that replacing Biden would be “extraordinarily difficult” and that they would ensure it would make it “extraordinarily difficult” to replace the 46th president on the 2024 ticket.

For people as old and infirmed as Brandon, continuous emotional stress can cause them to kick the bucket.

That may be part of the Dem's plan.

Does Biden have to be removed by the 25th amendment in order for Kamala to step in? Will Heritage fight her taking over and or fight who they want to put in his VP?

In order to save democracy...Democrats must ignore the primary voters and choose their own nominee in a closed room with backroom deals.

Good, but a lot of judges are hard-core Democrats and won’t pay the slightest attention to the law like they did in 2020. But we must keep trying to get back to the system defined in the Founding Documents.

No one has been officially nominated yet, so why would it be ‘extraordinarily difficult’ to replace FJB? We already know, from experience, that if the dems send him to a memory care facility, they will find the means to both get him on the ballot in states they’ll likely win and free up the money that’s been given for his re-election.

Let the Heritage Foundation use lawfare to unload maximum karma to the Demonicrats.

Seems irresponsible to me. I don’t think anyone should be fighting to keep a mentally disabled person on a Presidential ballot. We’re better than that, it is something the rats would do

This would be great if true, but Biden has not even been nominated yet so there is no need to “replace” him on any ballot. Whoever the Dem’s pick in their convention as their nominee will appear on all ballots, except perhaps Ohio where the deadline (the first in the nation) is August 7.

“Another plea for donations will come soon”

Save your money - it’s irrelevant.

It’s of no importance who is “on the ballot” because the voters don’t choose the President, the Electors appointed by the State Legislature do.

There are no “Presidential elections” in the Constitution, no “running”, no “being nominated”, no “being on the ballot”, no “calling a state”, no “conceding” - there is one Presidential election, recently on the second Monday in December, there are 538 voters who meet in 51 separate locations on the same day and choose the President.

The NJ Torricelli/Lautenberg precedent is meaningless because in NJ and in the other 49 states the voters elect the Senator directly, so it requires mischief to count Torricelli votes as votes for Lautenberg.

But for appointing NJ Electors in 2024? That is a reserved plenary power of the State Legislature, NOT the voters, and while in normal times the result of voting in November and the appointment of Electors is aligned, these are not normal times and there is NOTHING in the Constitution that transfers the choice of Electors away from the State Legislature.

They send him to a neurology facility for treatment. The claim he’s been augmented with A.I. Now we have Super Biden!

Biden stays on the ballot unless Kamala Harris and the Cabinet decide to have him replaced due to the 25th Amendment.

The primaries are over. The American people have voted. Joe Biden is their nominee.

Of course Biden is the President.

The “election” alleged to be fraudulent has no Constitutional existence. The 50 State Legislatures which appoint 535 Electors (and Congress, which appoints 3) have all adopted the custom of having people voting as the means by which the appointments are normally made, but this creates 51 elections, not one.

Those 51 elections occur at the direction of, and are subservient to, 50 legislatures and Congress. The States unwisely granted Congress 3 Electors by ratifying the XXIII Amendment in 1960, so Congress does have supervisory power OVER THOSE THREE, but not otherwise.

There is only one Presidential election in the Constitution, it takes place in December, there are 538 voters, and in December 2020 Biden got 306 of them and was elected President.

No State Legislature objected that its Electors were not the ones they had appointed. No State Legislature even convened to consider the matter. In the case of Pennsylvania, the Legislature fled to avoid considering the matter.

It has never been alleged that a single one of the 306 votes for Biden/Harris was a forgery, that the Electors who casted them were impersonating someone else, or that the Legislatures had secretly appointed other Electors.

There is zero space for an allegation of fraud in the Constitutional Presidential election of December 14, 2020.

As far as the 51 elections which occurred on November 3, 2020, they may very well have been rife with fraud, but since the appointment power of the 50 State Legislatures (535) and Congress (3) is plenary, that’s a problem for those legislatures to deal with should they choose to do so.

I think you’re on the right track.
She will be the next candidate for the Democrats.
Even their party rules restrict who can get (most of) the campaign money if it’s not Kamala.

Somebody needs to keep an eye on Fort Marcy Park

Also, I recommend buying popcorn before they run out.

I am of two minds here.

On the political side of things, Joe staying in is the best thing for DJT, obviously.

From a national security standpoint, we have not been this vulnerable in many a year.

Our enemies saw that debate too, and have been watching this stumbling, bumbling moron in our White House for years now.
