@George-K said in The 25th.:
Ari Fleischer just commented that, under the 25th amendment, a letter has to be sent to the President saying that he's not competent/able to exercise his duties.
If he responds, and says "Nope, I'm fine," then two thirds of the Senate AND two thirds of the House have to vote to remove him from office.
Fleischer says that's even a higher bar than impeachment. If the ⅔ of the House clause is applicable, he's right.
So, in context of what Jolly asked, let's play that game...
Biden wins the election, and within months, Speaker Pelosi introduces a resolution the President Biden is not able to execute the duties of the presidency. She has to get 66 Senators and (too lazy to do the arithmetic) a huge majority of the House to agree.
Does anyone think that'll happen?
I don't, and I don't think Pelosi does either.
The only way I can see Harris assuming the office of POTUS is if Biden resigns. Perhaps he can be convinced of that, thought.
A stroke? Or two? Brain aneurysm? Coma? Fatal heart attack?
Kamala sent me her Christmas wish list. 😄
