A take on the 25th Amendment

Do the Democrats want to roll the dice?

They bought it. They can own it now.

I'd have to look back in my posts, but, I previously mentioned that Nancy could end up with it if there's no vp

disagree with that notion.

there have been a few presidents that went thru a term without a VP and never nominated one. President Tyler was one.

Nixon was without a VP for a few months after Spiro Agnew resigned. Ford was later nominated.

it would be up to Kamala to nominate someone for VP after she's president. she likely would not have a VP for a few months.

the step up the chain isn't automatic.

the chain of succession only covers when the president dies, there isn't one for VP.

Nixon/Agnew/Ford is more analogous to the Biden/Harris/X situation.

After they take out Joey Bribes, it will be known as the Biden Amendment.

OJ wasn't convicted of murdering his wife. The "murder statute" is still applied, although not consistently throughout California especially if the potential defendant is a Antifa or BLM member. Equal protection doesn't exist there ... yet.

Was there ever a vote on Trump for the 25th amendment? You seem to have joined the Bloviating Caucus.

Anyone remember the movie "Dave"? In that fictional story, a "bad" president has a severe stroke and is replaced by his body double temporarily. It has a happy ending.

Since the primary season, I have had a serious premonition that President Biden has a genuine medical condition (I dont't know what it is) that will prevent him from completing a single full four year term. I think this was known before the election. In my opinion, he was hesitant to run in the begining, entering the primary race quite late, but only after being convinced that he'd only need to serve for a few months or two years at most, just till the progressive agenda was passed through (they thought they'd have both houses). The idea would be for him to then resign with "for reasons of health" and rtetire with honor and accolades.

At this point, they do not yet have much of their agenda in pace nd we are now all talking about the mid-terms. I am afraid for the President as his health seems to be deteriorating in wys that can no longer be explained away as "gaffs". Without malice I say that he may simply not be able to function as a coherent, mentally competent person at some point. well before the mid-term elections in late 2022.

If President Biden cannot function, t the 25th Amendment will then give us VP Harris as chief Executive.

Dilbert,
True,
But if Kumala couldn't continue in office for any reason whatsoever, and hadn't been able to get a vp approval from Senate, then Queen Nancy.

Theoretically yes, but The Wicked Witch of the West is more unpopular than Trump. Plus she's almost as mentally and physically unfit to be President as Joe. There would be an uprising.

They might replace Harris before they replace Joe. Part of the problem is that the Democratic bench is full of old white people.

There's no way he read all the 37 EOs he signed in the first couple of days. He could drop dead tomorrow and the media would cheer how Joe decided to take a spontaneous nap.

Remember, he's already had two strokes.

Gnad,
You're spot on except for one thing. If the P and vp musical chairs are both empty, operation of law, the 25th, has Queen Nancy in the 1st chair a few minutes later.
Note that I'm not saying it won't be entertaining.

Its all been rolling dice SMH

just for kicks, lets assume that peelosi declines to step up the to the president's chair, President pro Tempore "Leaky" Pat Leahy would be next in line.

Why do I have images of numerous clowns coming out of a clown car...
