Republicans float far-fetched 25th Amendment plan to oust Biden over Kabul debacle

[Zorro]

Some Republicans are floating an improbable use of the Constitution’s 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office in the wake of the United States’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan amid a Taliban takeover of the country’s capital of Kabul over the weekend.

“After the disastrous events in Afghanistan, we must confront a serious question: Is Joe Biden capable of discharging the duties of his office or has time come to exercise the provisions of the 25th Amendment?” Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott tweeted on Monday.

Republican New York Rep. Claudia Tenney also pushed for setting up the process for removing Biden through the constitutional process.

“Last year, my colleague Jamie Raskin stated ‘The 25th Amendment was adopted 50 years ago, but Congress has never set up the body it calls for to determine presidential fitness in the event of physical or psychological incapacity. Now is the time to do it.’ Well, NOW is the time,” Tenney tweeted on Monday.

12. Reading DU is bad for me.

It often makes me lose my faith in humanity. I read a thread like this about disingenuous and corrupt people behaving like total assholes and it makes me think that it is never going to be any good. We are doomed by petty politics that suck all the oxygen out of the room. It stops us from moving forward, preventing good people from making it a better country.

I lost faith in humanity in the 60s.
