That would be the best of all worlds. Can you imagine the Charley foxtrot that would be? I hope they have to do it.

If the Bidet for President movement were a boat, it would be a sub. Come on Bidet, conjure up what one of your former party leaders uttered once: rather have ....... peeing out of the tent rather than into it.

Tell them you will go full kamikaze on them if they push you out. But whatever you do, do not accept any help from Hitlery. No meals, no snacks, no drinks, no trips to Ft Marcy Park. And when it is all over consider how many of your enemies are now enjoying cold soup, you sarcastic, partisan, racist, creep.

Not a chance of doing that.

"Scalia's pillow" is a more likely solution.

Or most likely, Biden will withdraw from campaigning for "reasons of health". That won't even be a lie. He will still pretend to be President though. He won't resign or be removed. Harris is too uncontrollable to be allowed in that office.

An "open convention" will place two much more attractive candidates in nomination. Hardly anybody will have heard of them before.

Not entirely off, but it's dwindling fast. Baked into the 25th is a 4-day time limit to place the matter before Congress if Congress is in session but if not, it's a 21-day limit, and the Speaker of the House is the one who convenes.

Now, that's if the President resists. If he doesn't you don't even need the 25th to force anything, it just goes to the Constitutional order of succession and the Vice President is no longer temporary President, she's fully in office.

But in any case even if the President does resist and the matter goes to Congress, a 2/3 majority of both houses is required to remove permanently from office. I don't see the Republicans solving the Democrats' problem for them if they want to have political careers afterward.
