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.
..I’m just not sure insanity will remove a democrat from office. None of them would be safe if that’s the case.
Keep dreaming. Never going to happen. The Democrats and their allies in the state run media have hitched their wagon to Barry the Kenyan Marxist. They cant turn on him now.
Forget it. If he is acting that crazy and is a sure loser why would the rep want him removed from office before the election?
Besides, if Obama is replaced for any reason at all the black vote is just about totally lost.
Not going to happen. IF they wanted him off the ticket (and I have no doubt that parts of the party do), they would do it in a way to blame the mean, nasty Republicans for all of it.
They would make 0 come out as some sort of hero who is stepping down for the good of the country and positioning whoever takes his place as the ultimate statesman in a time of crisis.
LOL! Sure everyone named is White & Hussein is the 1st (kinda) black president - removed by Whites without anyone voting.
I couldn’t care less because I’m prepared and waiting, but the riots would be extensive & a lot of people would be killed.
As I wrote, I’m ready.
The only way the fraudulent Kenyan goes is with a landslide in Nov. Anything less and he wins by fraud (see: Al Frankin election).
Sadly, Mittens campaigning like a pastel water-colored moderate may not get us there.
He exhibits all the symptoms of severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder, plus more side issues than there are baskets to carry
As an NPD he sees others as the problem, not himself
He will never step aside
Now Moochelle is another player...a greedy luxury-loving arrogant but inept and lazy pragmatist
For enough money and the right deal (lifetime cook, chauffeur, private jet etc), maybe she could help them both to go away
Will NEVER, happen, FRiend.
Dems never saw a crazy person they didn’t like.
No, if anything he’ll be ‘VF-ed’ and a ‘white’ Repub., who gets ‘’Serhan-Serhan-ed will be blamed. That’s just my theory.
That’s why they will choose another option.
Besides, why should Republicans play along with THAT scenario? They may be mostly craven and calculating, but that means they won’t jump in and destroy themselves. All they have to do is nothing (something Federal Pubbies are brilliant at) and this whold idea implodes.
Not going to happen.
Baraq will be around a long time.
As Potus thru mid Jan 013.
After that you’ll catch him on MSNBC every night from 8 to 10.
(except for the 60% of the time when he’s on vacation or playing golf)
I wish, but the blacks would stay home during the election.
Should they do so by claiming they are going to lose the presidential election anyway, well I have news for everyone, losing the white house is not their problem.
Their problem, should they remove Obama from office or replace him at the convention, is the blacks will stay home and the Democrats will lose down ticket races all across the country in federal, state, and local elections. Their are many, many political offices across America that are determined on the strength of black voters tipping the race.
The Republicans would have a super veto over ride majority in both houses of congress, not to mention the control of all most every state.
No, the Democrats would rather lose with Obama at the helm, and still win down ticket races, than take the chance black voters will stay home in November.
So it’s a good thought, but sorry the 25th will not be evoked, and Obama will not be replaced at the convention.
“Besides, if Obama is replaced for any reason at all the black vote is just about totally lost”
Except for one.
Consider this: What if we do and he doesn't?
And what’s the difference between Od Joe and 0bambi acting nuts? Answer: Old Joe has been doing it longer.
Don't forget that he may also pull a John Travolta and start frequenting massage parlors harassing dudes for sex.
I love that picture.
In January of 1969 myself and a few fraternity associates, somewhat under the influence of alcohol, journeyed to Hell, Michigan with the mission of bringing back a sign or two.
They were nicely arc welded in place.
