They should vote for Biden for VP at the least and then the 25th amendment takes over as I see it.

That's not what the 20th amendment provides. The 25th only applies to when a President dies, resigns, or is removed, not before the person becomes President.

Ahh! The 20th is much clearer, thanks. I thought the 12th Amendment would install the VP and then the clause "the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President" would push it into the 25th's jurisdiction.

Seems like Biden would become president one amendment or another and a "Constitutional Crisis" will be avoided. It would be fascinating to see it played out. If not for the entertainment value seeing the Libtards whine and spew over 0zero getting caught being the liar that he is.
