Here We Go: Pelosi Will Re-Unveil 'How to Remove a President Without an Election' Legislation Friday
PJ Media ^ | 10/09/2020 | Bryan Preston

Posted on 10/09/2020 6:33:49 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Now we know what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s bizarre 25th Amendment comments were really about.

During her Thursday press conference, Pelosi told media to come on back Friday to hear something regarding the constitutional amendment by which a president may be removed from office. Passed in the wake of President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, the 25th spells out what may be lawfully done when a sitting president is deemed no longer fit to serve.

Section 4
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit 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, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

The 25th Amendment to our august Constitution was never intended to be a partisan cudgel. It was intended to bring order out of chaos for a nation reeling from some tragedy.

But welcome to 2020, where literally anything can happen, and it usually does! We’ve nearly had World War III, we have had space aliens a couple of times, and we’ve had a deadly virus sweep the world and we’re all supposed to stay mum about where it came from while we stay locked up and watch our economy crash and burn. Well, mainly in the locked-up Democrat states. Red states that have reopened seem to be bringing more jobs back.

We have other means besides the quite serious and scary mechanisms of the 25th for removing presidents. They’re called “elections,”

Yes, there is!! He should use it, lol!

Now if you listened to Rush back in the early 2000s, after 9/11, he used to say that the libs were “dangerous when they are in power, but hilarious when they’re not. “ Those days are over, as they have become a danger to the Republic whether in power or not.

One way to look at this move is that it is evidence that Nancy doesn’t believe Biden will win. If she believed it was a lock a 25th amendment move would be pointless.

She doesn’t believe the polls.

Ironically, if (God forbid ) Biden were to win, the 25th amendment would probably be more applicable to him in a few years.

Well, Trump is hosting the Rush Limbaugh Show today.

That is evidence that he is an ‘Entertainer’, not a President.

I dare Nanzi to listen in.

What about a full accounting of Joe Biden’s health?

Obama’s whereabouts that night is the most closely guarded secret in American history.

I think they believe Biden will win and they are setting it up to dump him. She stressed the hell out of the word diagnosis.

They keep asking if Trump will agree to leave office in 2021. They’ve been working for 4 years to force him from his office.

They also keep asking him if he will accept the outcome of this election when they still haven't accepted the outcome of the last election. Projection, thy name is Democrat.

A 2/3 vote of the House would do it per Article 1 Section 5 of the Constitution. That’s about as likely to happen as the removal of Trump from office via the 25th Amendment though.

If the Democrats have their way, they will remove everyone with who disagrees with them...to the gulags...the knock at the door at midnight...the interrogation... They have gotten away with it a few times already. They have ways of dealing with such people.

The 25th Amendment requires the cooperation of the Vice President to declare the President unfit. There is a provision to enact a law to replace the majority of the cabinet with a different group but such a law would require Trump’s signature.

Nancy’s nonsense is going nowhere and reeks of desperation.

There are many variables in the quest for a different speaker, including frustration on the left.

Is this for Harris when the Democratic party decides Biden is incoherent before or just after inauguration day 2021? This is still going to be the Harris administration with uncle Joe as the token president.
