Biden’s ABC interview was ‘very defensive’ about his poor debate performance

US Studies Centre Research Director Jared Mondschein says Joe Biden’s ABC interview was “very defensive” about his poor presidential debate performance.
“He went out of his way to show that he was lively and that he was cogent, and could say the chorus and was joking quite a lot in that this was just a bad episode, this was not a condition as former speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi worried about,” he told Sky News Australia.
Biden has rejected concerns over his age and health in his first TV interview since his disastrous debate appearance.

[@brianaumali6591]

25th amendment can remove him!

[@Diponty]

Here it is very easy... Initiation: The vice president, along with a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments (or another body that Congress may by law provide), can declare that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. Written Declaration: They must submit a written declaration to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Immediate Effect: Once the declaration is submitted, the vice president immediately assumes the role of acting president. President's Response: The president can dispute the declaration by submitting a written declaration to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House stating that no inability exists. The president then resumes the duties of the office unless the vice president and a majority of the principal officers of the executive departments submit another declaration within four days that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. Congressional Decision: If the vice president and the principal officers submit a second declaration, Congress must assemble within 48 hours if not already in session and decide the issue. Congress has 21 days to determine by a two-thirds vote of both houses that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. If Congress agrees, the vice president continues as acting president; otherwise, the president resumes the duties of the office. What a tragic mess the Dems have weaved.
