American Values
A Real Crisis
During the Trump administration, we were told every few weeks that Donald Trump was creating a constitutional crisis. It was all fake news meant to frighten the American people.
This, however, is a constitutional crisis. What do you do with a deranged president who refuses to see how deranged he is? Well, the solution is the 25th Amendment.
How does that work? Under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, a president can be removed from office if the vice president and the majority of cabinet secretaries determine that the president is incapacitated or otherwise “unable” to serve as president.
Rep. Richard Poff, who wrote the 25th Amendment, specifically identified two scenarios that would justify invoking Section 4. The second of those scenarios seems especially relevant right now:
“The other is the case when the president, by reason of mental debility, is unable or unwilling to make any rational decision, including particularly the decision to stand aside.”
There is a growing chorus of Democrats who say that Joe Biden needs to drop out and the party needs to rally around Vice President Harris. But she has been a major lynchpin in covering up Biden’s failing mental and physical health. There’s no way she was unaware of his condition.
Harris participated in the cover-up. She may have even directed the cover-up. She knew Biden would never be able to finish another term and, thus, she would become president.
So, in what world is the 25th Amendment the answer to a massive cover-up of a disabled president when one of the primary co-conspirators of the cover-up stands to benefit the most?
By the way, congressional Democrats returned to Washington today after the July Fourth holiday. When they got to their offices, they found a letter from Joe Biden waiting for them, telling them in no uncertain terms that he will not stand aside.
And think about this: All the panic on the left is because the neo-Marxists are worried about losing their power. None of them are panicking about the fact that we have a very confused commander-in-chief right now putting America in danger.
