On Sunday, President Biden chose National Ice Cream Day to announce he will not seek re-election for a second term, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to take over as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
Biden said in a letter posted to X that he will “stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”
But if he had any respect for the office he holds, the American people, our republic or himself, Biden would resign from the presidency immediately.
No one said campaigning for re-election was easy. The schedule is punishing.
A candidate must address supporters, schmooze with donors, pose for photo ops, and travel to events around the country.
He or she is expected to debate the other party’s nominee, and we all know how that turned out when Biden faced off against former president Donald Trump on June 27.
Biden’s sagging poll performance explains his decision to withdraw — much more so than any fake notion of civic virtue his spineless supporters are floating on social media to prop up the Democratic Party’s dismal chances and tarnished image.
A poll of voters in the vitally important swing state of Michigan, released just hours before his withdrawal, found Biden trailing Trump by a huge margin of 7 percentage points.
But no campaign-trail challenge comes even close to the immense responsibility of serving as president of the United States — which Biden, whose own staff members say has only a few lucid hours per day and cannot be disturbed after 4:00 p.m., is manifestly unqualified to do.

I read it here.
There is a 200+ comment long thread about it.
There is no evidence in the Constitution or US law that anchor babies are ineligible.
Perhaps there should be.
But Barack Obama was made NBC by statute, it’s never been successfully challenged, the horse is out of the barn and that’s all there is to that..
So what? A FReeper is going to have to bring the issue to the Supreme Court. We all know that they won't even look at it.
Bottom line, if you're born in America, you're an American citizen.
Logic of "get the dangerously inept leader Biden out of the WH" and then "install the dangerously inept new leader Harris in the WH" doesn't make sense.
You didn’t recognize them because you aren’t a sexist feminist.
Huge Trump campaign tactical error to agree to a Presidential debate before Labor Day, and especially the Democratic Party convention. I said it at the time, this was a ploy by Democrats to get Biden out and the Trump campaign fell into the trap to give them an out with Biden. Had the first debate taken place in September, as always, it would’ve been too late for the Party big shots to get Biden out.

What’s the rush. 3.5 years of this, and NOW he has to do
something? Why now?
But... Natural born?
That is the argument to be brought to the court.
Right. But they won't hear it.
Interesting that Joe issued a statement on a blank sheet of paper. No Presidential seal. Also, he did not appear on TV to make his statement. And on a Sunday. And after he had been diagnosed with covid.
Wonder what is up.
Not until after the pardons have been issued.
It is worrying that we don't have someone like Mycroft Homes to run the country.
[Incompetent Biden puts the world in grave danger]
as hard as it is to believe
Incompetent Kamala Harris puts the world in graver danger
Deep thoughts w/ Kamala Harris.

After Where-Am-I? Democrat Joe Biden
If KH then becomes Pres she will be very busy with not as much time to campaign but better, she will expose her incompetence at the job. We need to push for it.
Someone has to explain to her how the 25th Amendment works.
Yes but she will talk (more or less) coherently with energy.
Plus is a a BF, we have never had a woman so she will energize the female and leftist votes.
She is beatable but I think Biden was a certain point for us in the wins column. Evidenced by his dropping out.
QUICK, QUICK..! GIVE US BUTTGIG, HE’LL SAVE US.!
How did the “1s woman President” PR line work for Hillary?
