Members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet should consider invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the president, two sitting U.S. senators suggested. They said Biden’s performance in the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump raised questions about his ability to perform his office.

“We’ve definitely entered 25th Amendment territory,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote on X.

Members of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet should consider invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the president, two sitting U.S. senators suggested. They said Biden’s performance in the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump raised questions about his ability to perform his office.

“We’ve definitely entered 25th Amendment territory,” Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote on X.

“If you think Democrats in Washington and across the country aren’t talking about the 25th Amendment right now, you’re crazy,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., wrote. “It’s not a question of whether he should be on the ballot. That ship has sailed. It’s a question of whether he can serve as president right now.”

And in the House, Rep Chip Roy is making a similar call: Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said Friday that he plans to put forth a resolution urging Vice President Harris to convene the Cabinet and declare President Biden unable to carry out the duties of the Oval Office after the commander in chief’s poor debate performance Thursday.

We're better off even with a "flake" like Harris in the White House.

Joe needs to leave the White House today. But we all know that won't be happening.

Biden needs to be thoroughly humiliated to the point that whatever mind he has left grasps that fact and it will eat at him for the rest of his miserable life.

It’s a TRAP! Don’t give them that gift. Pretty sure if Joe gets removed by 25th he is immune to prosecution for everything. Also pretty sure that was the plan all along.

It’s fine for Republicans to stir it up a little.

But they don’t need to press too hard and actually get Biden off the ticket.

Stupid party needs to stop helping the dims. Let the dims take the 25th route and have nothing to do with it.

Prosecution is already off the table as Hur said he’s not fit to stand trial. Last night this was confirmed. Worse, he’s not fit to be in the White House now. We cannot let him remain for seven more months. Sure, that gives us Harris, but is that really worse than Biden at this point? And this is all separate from November 5th.

Gibberish and his conversations with Dead people goes back to 2019.


This is nothing new. Just looking for honesty.

That’s two percent - and Joe’s been doing this since 2019.

There’s the rub; sure, we’d like him to stay in because he’s sure to lose, but on the other hand, it’s absolutely frightening to have this demented husk as the leader of the free world!

Maybe they should’ve worried when he said he started the Civil Rights movement, was raised in the black community, and cured Cancer.

Will a 25th Amendment action provoke a Constitutional Crisis (based on the ineligibility of Kamala Harris to assume the Presidency)?

The 25th Amendment has nothing to do with presidential immunity or the lack thereof. If you are thinking of a diminished capacity defense, that is not the same as immunity and is an affirmative defense. That means it would be up to Biden to prove at any trial that he did not have the mental ability to form the required criminal intent at the time of the crime. It would not be up to the prosecution to prove the opposite

Removing Biden from office is not and should not be a political issue. It is commonsense.

It also puts Harris on the ticket as it is unlikely the party could avoid her as she'd be the sitting president.

And the house could sit on approving a VP, so Speaker Johnson would be next in line.

I agree. 25th would validate his fraudulent election.

Save him for UCMJ

Will make SCOTUS presidential immunity determination more interesting to watch play out

It would be great if she had to be passed over, landing Speaker Johnson as president.
