Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) called on members of the Biden administration to “explore” removing President Biden under the 25th Amendment after a special counsel cleared him of any wrongdoing but painted him as an elderly man with a failing memory.
In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, Tenney reportedly wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland Thursday night to share her “grave concerns.”
“After concluding that President Biden knowingly and willfully removed, mishandled, and disclosed classified documents repeatedly over a period of decades, Mr. Hur nevertheless recommended that charges not be brought against him,” her letter said. “Special Counsel’s reasoning was alarming.”
Special Counsel Robert Hur released his findings Thursday in the case into Biden’s handling of classified materials. Hur’s 388-page report investigated how documents from Biden’s time as vice president ended up at his Wilmington, Del., home and an old office space. Hur determined that he “willfully” retained the documents but didn’t bring forth any charges, describing Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Tenney argued that the Department of Justice “cannot ethically” bring charges against former President Trump and decline to bring them against Biden.
She argued that Biden, who is 81, is lacking the ability to execute his responsibilities as president.

GOP Calls to Invoke 25th Amendment After Special Counsel Casts Doubt on Biden’s Mental Acuity: ‘This Man Has the Nuclear Codes’
While highlighting evidence of America’s oldest ever president “willfully” mishandling classified documents, Special Counsel Hur’s report details Biden’s significant cognitive decline — perhaps more politically damning than his handling of classified materials.
The report, released Thursday, concludes that prosecution is unlikely due to the challenges of proving willful intent beyond a reasonable doubt and Biden’s sympathetic public image.
In response, Republican members are urging the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment — which addresses presidential succession and disability procedures — or face impeachment, while questioning how Democrats in “good conscience” can tell Americans he is mentally competent enough to continue being Commander-in-Chief.
“For the safety of our nation, Joe Biden must resign,” declared Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL). “He could not remember basic facts about his life. He is not competent to remain as Commander-in-Chief & every day that he remains, he puts America at risk.”
“If he won’t resign, the Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment,” she added.
True. Regards
There must be a point of ‘peak efficiency’ for the drugs his handlers are feeding him.
For the first couple of sentences that he uttered last night, he actually seemed of sound mine.
It didn’t last...
The demon party’s evil has painted them into a corner. Going into an election year they absolutely MUST get rid of their president and vice president…. This’ll be interesting.
Oh hell no.
Leave the evil demented fool in office for the time being. Hilarity will ensue as President Trump curb stomps his teeth out in the election and the Obama cabal that *actually* runs the country panics and shows their true colors.
But seriously, think about it... Cameltoe? For six to eight months with a real shot at winning all the marbles? Get your head straight, representative!
This is BS because he was not nearly as old when he was a Senator which is when he absconded with the classified materials.
... but don’t be too quick about it. The sooner Dems put Joe out to pasture, the sooner they and the media will start selling Kamala as Our Saviour.
>Careful what you wish for…. whoever replaces Joe Biden is going to be more formidable than him.<
Don’t kid yourself. Joe is going to be replaced before the general election. Would you rather have the DNC leadership pick the person and pick the timing, or would you rather see the democrat party thrown into chaos?
Kamala will be president. They will do deep naval gazing at the new VP pick, then disembowel themselves when the black lady is overlooked for a White guy to be the presidential candidate. Can anyone expect Kamala to step back into the VP seat?
I see utter chaos either way this turns out. I just don’t want the DNC big wigs to be dictating the process.
EC
I can just see Biden ordering fighter jets to bomb dem cities thinking they are republican hot spots.
This will all come down to the DNC convention where Biden, if not already removed, will be pushed aside and a new candidate selected. Chaos will ensue in all dem black run cities when a black woman is not selected. ANTIFA and BLM will be unleashed since they are the de facto brown shirts of the dem party.
AGREE, leave Joey in. Repubs should sit back and watch the train wreck. Let the Biden Administration figure out how they will dig themselves out of this hole.
NOW, I’m not suggesting Repubs do nothing. They should continue the impeachment inquiry. Collect Data on Corruption, Publish that Data, Collect Data, Publish Data. DIRECTLY tie as many Democrat Politicians as possible directly to Joey’s Dirty Diaper.
Scorched Earth is too good for Democrats. TURN THEIR ENTIRE PARTY TO GLASS!!!! Destroy the Democrat Party for Eternity. For all history the names Benedict Arnold and Joey Biden should be synonymous with TRAITOR.
I agree - they will have Joe step down at the last minute - the fake news will praise him for having the humility and decency to do it - all the curruotion and incompetence will be forgotten.
I think this DOJ report was meant as a signal from the deep state that if he steps down all will be forgiven.
Kamala will get to run against Trump as incumbent black female - totally blameless of Biden Administration failures.
If you were raising the 25th amendment related to Trump but are not doing it related to Biden, you aren’t a journalist, a pundit, or a partisan. You are a whore.

Biden is either mentally capable to stand trial & should be charged for mishandling classified documents as Vice President OR he is unfit to serve as President.
There is no middle ground.

Joe Biden isn’t capable to stand trial for all of the classified documents he stole after leaving office as a Senator and VP, yet he’s capable of carrying around the nuclear football?
Joe Biden is unfit to serve as POTUS!
Two solutions: 25th Amendment or impeachment.

It’s time to brush off the 25th Amendment. Joe Biden is completely mentally UNFIT for president, even his own DOJ says so! We’ve known this for a long time, but now Biden’s health has become a national security issue. REMOVE!

On Friday’s “Wake Up America,” Judge Andrew Napolitano explains what it would take for Joe Biden to be removed as President under the 25th Amendment.

Back in the day, Woodrow Wilson got be being sick, by having his Wife call the shots... But we don’t want Dr. Jill calling the shots do we???
j/k ... The person(s) behind “the curtain” are calling shots, and have been, all along...
Why the hell are supposed Republicans trying to help the Democrats by giving them advice like this?
Let them run an old fool with Alzheimer’s if that is what they intend on doing.
Tenney is doing the responsible thing, stating the obvious and not keeping her eyes closed like Biden’s cabinet and the media.
Johnson is in the line of succession, a possible conflict of interest. I think members of Congress should individually send letters to Garland.
Birdwatchers think they spotted a Scott, a Rhodes and a Goldwater outside the Oval Office this morning.
