Biden’s Cognitive Decline Is A National Security Threat – Invoke The 25th Amendment NOW
Democrats are in complete panic over Joe Biden’s performance in last night’s debate. This was no mere bad debate, many candidates have had bad debates and recovered.
This debate displayed Biden’s severely declined cognitive ability for all the world to see for an hour and a half. The media cannot claim the live video feed from CNN was a manipulated “cheap fake” – the smear campaign used against those of us who have been pointing out the obvious for over a year, but particularly recently with Biden visibly freezing and zoning out in public appearances:
- FREEZE! Mainstream Media Insists You Not Believe Your Eyes (June 18, 2024)
- Biden Freeze Videos: Democrats Fear the Public Will Believe Their Own Eyes, Not Media Lies (June 21, 2024)
Democrats are focused on whether a mentally diminished Biden can win the election againt Trump, and who would be a better candidate. Democrats are caught between a rock (a diminished Biden) and a hard place (the even more unpopular and non-serious replacement Kamala Harris, who Democrats would be loath to replace because she checks identity group boxes).
Democrats need to put aside whether Biden is up to the task of being a successful nominee. No honest person who watched last night’s debate can think that Biden mentally is up to the job of being President.
If I’m China, I’m taking off the shelf the war plans to invade Taiwan. If I’m Iran, I’m breaking out towards a nuclear weapon. If I’m Putin, I’m doubling down on Ukraine and possibly other former Soviet satellites. Can you imagine an emergency situation where immediate military decisions that only a president can make need to be made in seconds or minutes, and the military having to go to diminished Joe for a decision?
This is serious stuff. This is no joke. Biden’s cognitive decline is a national security threat of the highest order.
From a purely political perspective, Republicans probably are better off with Biden staying in the race. There is a weird convergence of interests between Team Biden and Team Trump in keeping Joe in the race, for different reasons. It’s time to put America first. This situation of a cognitively diminished president cannot continue.
There is a solution, the 25th Amendment:
Section 4.Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office. [Emphasis added]
The 25th Amendment was brought up when Trump was president in bad faith, not because he was unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office, but because Democrats did not want him to discharge those powers and duties.
This is different. Democrats know it’s different.
We can make analogies to not letting grandpa drive anymore even though he insists on it. We can’t let grandpa make that decision, and risk him driving the country into an accident.
Only Democrats can act, and they should before it’s too late.
