Is this time for the 25th Amendment? The Special Counsel declines to prosecute President Biden for reason of diminished capacity. An 'elderly man' with 'significant' memory issues.[Daily Mail] "...because a jury would likely see him as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." [CNN] President Joseph Biden can't be prosecuted because he is an elderly man who can't remember he's president, that he was vice-president. Yes, time to consider and demand the 25th amendment be exercised.

Republican Sen. Rick Scott (FL) called on President Joe Biden’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment on Thursday, following revelations from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report about Biden’s deteriorating mental state. “This report labels Biden as a ‘well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.’ That does not describe someone who should be the Commander in Chief of our armed forces and the defender of American freedoms,” Scott said in a post to X.

Democrats could be facing major losses in this year's crucial midterm elections as Republicans aim to take back the House of Representatives and the Senate in November. If President Joe Biden's party loses control of both chambers, he could end up facing impeachment after several Republicans indicated that GOP majorities would move in that direction. In January, Republican Senator Ted Cruz said there would be "multiple grounds" for impeaching Biden, while in April, Republican Representative Ken Buck told a virtual meeting that the House Judiciary Committee would "hold the hearings to determine whether impeachment is appropriate. We'll vote on impeachment....

Then-Vice President Mike Pence had a tense reaction when he first saw the resolution encouraging him to remove then-President Donald Trump, according to new footage purportedly showing the moment. After one of Pence's aides handed him his phone, he read what CNN is claiming was the resolution from the House to enforce the 25th Amendment, the video showed. Pence responded, "Excellent," and requested that it be printed out for him to look over during his trip home, according to the clip. But a spokesman for Pence disputed what he read was the resolution. “In the documentary, Vice President Pence was...

The House Jan. 6 select committee's request to sit with Ivanka Trump is further highlighting the close relationship Fox News host Sean Hannity had with her father's White House. A letter from the panel to Ivanka Trump includes portions of text exchanges from Hannity and then-White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who has since returned to Fox. In the texts, Hannity recaps just a few points of a broader communications plan for responding to the attack, among other pieces of advice. “1- No more stolen election talk,” Hannity reportedly texted McEnany, who herself sat down with committee investigators last week...

The J6 committee’s request to sit with Ivanka Trump is further highlighting the close relationship Sean Hannity had with her father’s White House. A letter from the panel to Ivanka Trump includes portions of text exchanges from Hannity and Kayleigh McEnany related to January 6th and the stolen election. “1- No more stolen election talk,” Hannity texted McEnany, who herself sat down with committee investigators last week after being subpoenaed. Per the letter, he continued, “2- Yes, impeachment and the 25th amendment are real and many people will quit.” McEnany responded “Love that. Thank you. That is the playbook. I...

Place your virtual, non-monetary bets! This thread has one purpose: Predict the day in Traitor Zhoas administration that the female triumvirate (Feinstein, Pelosi, Heels-up) manages to remove the Pedophile in Chief from power. Rules: 1. Winner is the one who predicts correctly the day the VP takes the oath. 2. Winner is the one who predicts correctly the first day removal is mentioned in the criminal media (FoxNBC, etc). 3. Winner is the one who predicts correctly the day the Cabinet concludes Traitor Zhoa is no longer fit to be President. So there are three winners possible. One could probably...

Lost on the President Donald Trump-hating pundits who weighed in on the second and final debate with former Vice President Joe Biden was Trump's energy and focus. The man just recovered from COVID-19. Male and 74 years old, Trump is in the "high-risk" category. His weight makes him "comorbid." Yet, there he was, still throwing heat at the end of the standing 90-minute debate, having spoken earlier that day at a typically raucous love fest/campaign rally. Trump handily defeated Biden, who noticeably tired by the end of this second and final debate. Yes, nearly all polls show Biden ahead both...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a dramatic announcement during her weekly press conference Thursday by telling reporters that she intends to discuss a constitutional measure to remove President Trump from office, following questions regarding Trump's health as he recovers from coronavirus.

Watch This With the Sound Off, Her Body Language Says it All... Insanity. PELOSI: "Tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow, come here tomorrow. We're going to be talking about the 25th Amendment." Pelosi makes a veiled threat that the 25th amendment is in play WATCH ......

Public congressional approval ratings currently stand at 18%. This is a result of the manifest inability of the Senate to enact significant legislation by reason of the three-fifths cloture rule and the restriction on Senate amendments to legislation by the majority leader’s device of ‘filling the tree’ with trivial amendments, only slightly relaxed by Senator Mc Connell, and the practice of House Speakers of both parties of refusing to call up bills unless they can be passed without the aid of the opposing party. In 1946, the then Senate Majority leader, Robert Taft, declared “I have always said that I...

On September 18, 1969, the U.S. House... voted by an overwhelming 338 to 70 to send a constitutional amendment to the Senate that would have dismantled the Electoral College, the indirect system by which Americans elect the president and vice president... The House vote, which came in the wake of an extraordinarily close presidential election, mirrored national sentiment about scrapping an electoral system that allowed a candidate to win the presidency even while losing the popular vote. A 1968 Gallup poll found that 80 percent of Americans believed it was time to elect the nation's highest office by direct popular...

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) called on President Trump's cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Waters called the president the "most deplorable human being" she has ever met and said he must be stopped in an interview with MSNBC this weekend. "It is time for Section 4 of Amendment 25 to be put in place," Waters said. "His cabinet should send to Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker, as identified in the Constitution, that this man should be removed from office."

CBS All Access’s The Good Fight will explore Donald Trump’s impeachment in an upcoming episode. Rather than having the traditional CBS executive Q&A, at which Reporters Who Cover Television take turns excoriating the network for lack of diversity, the network held one of the most interesting panels of this TCA to date, in which various showrunners took questions about politics and social issues on television. The Good Fight stole the show when EP Robert King told TV critics at TCA on Saturday about an upcoming episode in which the DNC seeks guidance from series’ law firm about the legal case...

Sometimes, things just all seem to come together. In his 60 Minutes interview, fired former FBI acting director Andrew McCabe threw a ton of shade on Justice Department operative Rod Rosenstein, effectively saying that yes, there was a Deep State coup attempt against President Trump, but Rosenstein Did It. It was all his fault. In the absence of any smoking gun against President Trump from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, that suggests President Trump's deep state opponents are now turning on each other. I mentioned that a few days ago here, and it's even more obvious in Technicolor in the 60...

Ms. Warren said at a campaign rally in Las Vegas that administration officials are obligated to take the extreme path of invoking the 25th Amendment, The Nevada Independent reported. “My point here is that if they believe that Donald Trump cannot fulfill the obligations of his office, then they have a constitutional responsibility to invoke the 25th Amendment,” Ms. Warren said, according to the newspaper. “Their loyalty under law is not to...

Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., a 2020 candidate for president, on Sunday endorsed the idea of President Trump's team invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office if the circumstances call for it. “My point here is that if they believe that Donald Trump cannot fulfill the obligations of his office, then they have a constitutional responsibility to invoke the 25th Amendment,” Warren said during a press conference following a campaign rally in Las Vegas. “Their loyalty under law is not to him personally. It is to the Constitution of the United States and to the people of United States.”...
