Those who have placed Obama where he is have seemingly sent signals that his usefulness to them has expired. His support is eroding within the ranks of his own party and cracks are starting to show in the media treatment he has received. They cannot allow his presence on the ticket in November as it will help destroy the cause in which they believe.
If they are going to pull the rug from under him, it has to be done in a way that his core supporters can find acceptable. There isn't sufficient time left before the election for impeachment proceedings that could be blamed on the Republican party. This leaves only a few options, only one of which that I can see Obama willing to play along with. Let's see what the Twenty Fifth Amendment, Section 4 says.
"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."
Is Obama starting to act "crazy" lately? Are his recent rants and rulings part of a plan to set the stage for declaring him unfit to serve? Look for more insanity from him in the near future if this is the plan as well as Biden appointing Hillary to the Vice president spot if the Twenty Fifth is put into effect. I can just see the news coverage with all of the Democrats, one after the other, crying into the microphones about how they feel so concerned for dear old Barry, and how much they hope he gets better, etc., etc.
It's their only out that can be done before the election. He has faked his entire life history. Don't think that faking a little insanity is beyond him. It sets the stage for all of the fake compassion you won't be able to get away from 24-7 as well.
Dream on. This turkey isn’t going anywhere unless we elect an alternative this November.
Sorry, a pure pipe dream. Blacks and Hispanics would riot and they would avoid the election of the white replacement.
“determines by two thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office”
This will never happen. The Rats are stuck with Obama.
I doubt it..They’d be called racists.
Not going to happen. Just wishful thinking. Dems admitting a mistake?? Balderdash. This is onion likw.
Obama may look crazy to you and me, but consider that those who would have to take the action are just as fruit-cakey as he...

I disagree. The establishment Rats would rather go down in a major defeat and then work to recover in 2016 than to disrespect their locked in black vote.
What makes you think that this is the one little part of the constitution that he agrees with and hasn’t “evolved”...
Even if I thought this was remotely possible I would reject it for two reasons. Hillary would be tougher to defeat because she’s not part of the economic team and allowing an Alzheimers victim the office of POTUS for any length of time is totally irresponsible. Biden should be under 24 hr care, not making decisions.
Will... not... happen...
Obama is a serial narcissist. He is incapable of disconnecting himself from a perch of power, and he will use everything in his power to stay in power.
If Congress tries this, not only will we see riots in every major Liberal city, I would bet the farm that Obama declares martial law to stay in power.
This man is NOT going anywhere, and I’m still standing by my previous assertions that we will NOT see elections in November. It will be a martial law summer.
PING
He’s gonna have to put on some kind of show if he’s gonna be crazier than “Plugs”, the loon.

Reject Obama.
Rover, rover, let Biden take over.
They are going to riot anyway - in November when Obama is thrown out.
Reject Obama.

“Fun” to think about if nothing else!
