“ passing the torch to a successor, likely Kamala Harris”
…”likely”?! 25th says it so
25th says no such thing. If Jill counterfeits a letter from Joe saying he contests the application of the 25th, then the house and Senate have to vote by 2/3 majorities to remove him or the vegetable stays. I know there are a lot of RINOs itching to let the Dems off the hook here and steal defeat from the jaws of victory, but still it’s a large uphill clime.
At least from my reading of the 25th, it would remove Bidog from office but not prevent him from running.
Plus, they’d need 75 Senators voting for it. I don’t think they’d get it.
Then, she's, "Hasta la vista, Baby!"
It’s not that easy. Joe can appeal an attempt to remove him. And you know Jill isn’t giving up that easily.
25th amendment, section 4 simplified:
Vice president believes the president can no longer carry out the duties of his office.
A majority of the 15 cabinet members agree.
The VP and the cabinet write a letter stating their beliefs, the president loses power, and the VP becomes acting president.
If the president disagrees, he writes his own letter and regains power.
If the VP and cabinet still believe the president is unfit for duty, they have four days to send another letter. As soon as this letter is sent, the president again loses power, and the VP again becomes acting president.
Congress has 21 days to vote on the president’s ability to carry out the duties of the office. If at least two-thirds of both the Senate and House agree he’s unfit, the president permanently loses power, and the VP continues to be acting president. If less than two-thirds agree, the president again regains power.
Posters here don’t understand what conventions are
Poor history students
I do not want to see or hear president kamala harris!!
I want Biden to stay in and see Trump defeat him BIGLEY.
No, no one on the left is seriously discussing Biden leaving office, through the 25th or a resignation. The reference in the article is to him dropping out of the race.
