It is no accident that Joe Biden has not given a State of the Union address or had a press conference since his inauguration. He is simply not mentally capable of doing either. I predict that Kamala Harris will become president of the United States before the end of the year, pursuant to the 25th Amendment. The amendment was ratified by the states in 1967. A review of its provisions is in order.
Amendment XXV
Section 1.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Comment: Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution states: "In Case of the Removal of the President from office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by Law provide for the Case of Removal, Death, Resignation or Inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what Officer shall then act as President, and such Officer shall act accordingly, until the Disability be removed, or a President shall be elected."
What is "inability," and who determines what it is? What is "disability," and who determines what it is? When the vice president succeeds the president, does the vice president become the president, or is he only the vice president acting as president (on a temporary basis)?
In 1841, President William Henry Harrison died in office and was succeeded by Vice President John Tyler. Tyler asserted that he had become the president and was not the vice president acting as the president.

Hail to Chairman Jao? or Kamaltoe?
I disagree.
The left want [the chattering class] to call for the 25th-A.
Then they can crow about how they are \real\ defenders of the Constitution and The Rule of Law.
I say, don’t fall for it.
Hold the line, patriots.
Who will be Kammy’s VP when she replaces Clueless Joe?
ALL republican politicians should be DEMANDING to know who is running the Biden administration!!!
Why bother with the 25th Amendment if it is simply easier to remove a President by impeaching and convicting him? These articles about this issue never seem to point it out.
:: it is simply easier to remove a President by impeaching and convicting him ::
You will have to give us some real-life examples of a President being impeached and removed from office.
Shouldn’t be too difficult, we’ve only had 46 “Presidents”.
Impeachment only applies to wrongdoing or misbehavior not illness or disability. The 25th Amendment was intended to handle physical or mental incapacity.
This victim of elder abuse is MIA and when he is seen at a hardware store, he's visibly clueless. Press Secretary Coxsacki is a joke and the media is, well, not all that enthused and not all that full-throated.
Yes, clearly there is some shadow govt running the show, but at going on 60 days all they've achieved is $2t of pork and a few executive orders. With all levers of govt at their disposal, they should be rolling back everything.
LS said this a little while ago...we all thought it was TEOTWAWKI with Obama, but he was lazy and we came out ok...not great, but it coulda been worse.
It's early days with Bidet, but so far it's sort of shaping up similarly here. Fingers crossed.
Kind of reminds me of that Far Side cartoon where these two goldfish are standing on their tails on the table outside their bowl while inside the bowl their little castle is engulfed in flames. One of the goldfish says to the other, "Whew! That was close", and then, after a moment's reflection says, "'Course, now we're equally screwed".
One of the things they considered with drafting the 25th amendment was the following scenario:
What if JFK had survived Dallas in a persistent vegetative state. What do they do then?

: ) Tex. It’ll be good on the 4th when you can celebrate and have BBQ thanks to Jao.

I'd give it before the end of March.
“The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration..."
President Donald Trump.
RBG comes to mind. No legal path to replace a Justice incapacitated and unable to articulate resignation.
Heh, heh.
>Who will be Kammy’s VP when she replaces Clueless Joe?<
Hellary...and she and Commiela will take a walk over to Ft Marcy Park and, well, you know the rest.
The 25th Amendment was also clearly intended to address a TEMPORARY situation — where the President is medically incapacitated or out of physical contact in a chaotic Cold War scenario.
Or just continue to use him as puppet so he can take all the blame. Anyone know what’s on all those EOs he signed? Especially the alleged blank ones.
No telling what they’ve cooked up. We’ll soon find out.
