Obama Threatened Biden with Removal from Office Under 25th Amendment - Sy Hersh
Sputnik News ^ | 7/27/24

Biden announced his intention to drop out of the race July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's nominee.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Former US President Barack Obama threatened Joe Biden with removal from office under the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution if he did not withdraw from the presidential race, US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has claimed.

Obama told Biden he had gotten the approval of US Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the safeguard against presidential incapacity, Hersh said in a blog post on Substack.

The journalist noted that, in accordance with the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, the US president may be removed from power in the event he is judged to no longer be able to carry out his duties, with the vice president stepping into the role.

Hersh claimed that by the time Obama called Biden, it was already clear Harris would receive Democratic leaders' approval to run as the party's candidate.

why is Joe still there?

Because he is harmless there.
FJB hasn’t been in charge for years, now. IMHO, Zerohiseff has been running things through his surrogates like Susan Rice.
I guess he feels that, at this point a new president would be too disruptive to his plans for the next 6 months.

Agreed. That stuff is just diversionary wishful nonsense intended to distract potential supporters that such things are practicably possible. Court packing, Electoral College dissolution, etc. - both VERY difficult to accomplish. It requires either a huge Congressional majority and Constitutional Amendment.

It is intended to keep people from thinking about how much trouble we are STILL in these last 6 months.

But by setting that condition, which Team Biden agreed to, he is being allowed to stay on as Vegetable-in-Chief.

Leading to this sort of spectacle:

One way or another, he will get his 4th, 5th and 6th terms.

Obama knows Harris is even weaker than Biden. So what is his real strategy?

The number of justices may be regulated by statute.
Changing the fact that they have lifetime appointments would require an amendment.

That is exactly what nobody really talks about. It amazes me that very few even mention it.

Is Kamala is just a placeholder candidate? A test to see if taking Joe out of the race makes a big difference? Is she there just to buy time until the convention where they can anoint the real candidate? Is she aware of that? Or is she in on it?

Obviously from here on out the democrat party has set a precedent for changing horses in the middle of the race. It would be hard for a candidate of any opposition party to plan a campaign when they really do not know who they are running against. Was this the plan all along?

Elections are a farce.

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

Exactly. Kamala doesn’t have the balls to lead and our enemies know it.

I wish someone would prosecute Dean & Pelosi for shoving Obama into office.

All this tells me that Obama is still in control of the government, and that everything that has happened is a result of him.

So if Joe is so bad off that Obama was going to invoke the 25th Amendment because he is too incapacitated to serve, why is Joe still there?

Because Bathhouse Barry always needs a beard.
