While impeachment appears off the table as an exercise in futility trying to get enough D Senators on board to convict of anything, and conviction would be tantamount to admitting his policies were unconstitutional, the better way out is to exercise Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
His narcissism is clouding any ability for him to reason, surely a majority of his cabinet could come together with Biden and declare him “unable to discharge the powers and duties of the Office....” While he would immediately send his “written declaration that no inability exists” the VP and a “majority of the principal officers of the executive department” (Cabinet) could within four days confirm that the “President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” and let Congress “decide the issue” by a 2/3 vote of both houses.
Much has been written about the mental state of Obama - and even the press is now questioning his inability to grasp the rejection of his policies (and him personally). It may take an open meltdown of some sort to confirm his mental and emotional inability to function as President, but as Democrats are themselves ready to revolt rather than find themselves totally eviscerated at the next election, they may find the 25th amendment their way out.
Some will argue that this section of the amendment was only intended to deal with physical incapacity such as by stroke or heart attack - but clearly there was an intent that mental problems where the President would try to argue he is not incapacitated while others see that he is was clearly contemplated - thus the second round and decision by the Congress in an expedited fashion being provided for.
Quicker and cleaner than impeachment, keeps their policies above the fray, and simply takes out what has only become a liability for the next two years.
Biden and a majority of his cabinet ..... now that would be something to see. Then, a 2/3 vote of both Houses. Sounds a far fetch.
However, maybe Biden (aka Joey Plugs) is a possible 'Sleeper Agent.' We here tend to think of him as an assklown based on his offbeat public persona. but, BUTTT, never forget this guy is one hell of a very partisan political operative, a highly effective grass-roots campaigner, the possessor of a great common touch, and actually the man who "discovered" Obama, famously calling him, ".... the clean Negro with no accent." Plus he has been around DC long enough to know where every body is buried, who killed it, and who dug the grave. He also has been smart enough to enrich his entire family to the tune of some $100+ Million! Dumb? Nah, I don't think so. A little spacy-senile, maybe. Crazy like an old fox is more like it. He also really really always wanted to be President. If there's to be a cabal to remove The Mombasa MF, Joey Plugs just might be the guy to lead it. Of course, if Joey Plugs and his cabinet were to turn on him, Barry just might resign. What do the sticks say, Ching?
