Biden And The 25th Amendment

Discussion in 'Politics' started by Scataphagos, Mar 30, 2022.

  1. In spite of Biden's apparent cognitive decline, the 25th won't be invoked because Harris would become president and the Dems would lose their tie-breaking vote in the senate.

    If Congress loses the senate in November, look for the 25th to be invoked then if at all, IMV.

    If Kamala became President, Pelosi would be VP and they'd keep the tie breaking vote - unless you believe the GOP could win in San Fran to flip the seat (not very likely).
     
  4. Not sure of that...

    "... But it's not true that the speaker of the House — or any other predetermined individual — automatically becomes vice president. Upon becoming president, the former vice president would choose another individual to become his or her vice president.

    "Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress," Section 2 of the amendment explains..."



    Based on our (Fact Check) research, the claim that if Biden wins the election but cannot serve his full term, Harris will assume the role of president and Pelosi will become vice president is PARTLY FALSE. It's true that Harris would assume the role of president, but she'd pick a new vice president.

    But... confirmation by a majority of both houses??

    I don't know why this keeps coming up.

    Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.

    COPE.

    Ruble is back to where it was before the Biden sanctions.
    In Harness racing when the favorite stiffs out and comes in fourth, that's the US now.

    Currency manipulation by a small larger economy, smaller than Italy, comes at a heavy cost and you jokers are the worst traders if you don't understand the mechanisms. I know somebody who placed top 50 in a marathon despite cancer, she still died six months later.
