President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>, who is facing pressure from Democrats to drop out of the 2024 race because of concerns about his age and health, has not held a full <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cabinet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cabinet</a> meeting in over nine months and left its members in the dark about his condition, according to a new report.
CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/11/politics/joe-biden-age-decline-democrats-angry/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke the story</a> on Thursday as Biden attempts to reassure supporters that he is capable of leading effectively and run for a second term after a debate performance against President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> late last month in which he appeared confused and lost his train of thought.
The report noted the last full Cabinet meeting took place more than half a year ago on October 2, 2023, and cited one unnamed secretary who said members of the Cabinet were uncertain of how 81-year-old Biden was doing because they hardly ever get to see the commander in chief.
Sources told CNN that before closed-door Cabinet meetings — when they had been taking place — it was routine for them to submit questions and talking points to White House aides in advance, leaving one to say the gatherings were &#8220;not free-wheeling, and pretty well-orchestrated.&#8221;
CNN reported the White House shared a statement from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack saying that what the story described about the Cabinet meetings was &#8220;standard practice for any administration” because “there should not be surprise in Cabinet meetings.”
House Republicans have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republican-pushes-harris-to-invoke-25th-amendment-on-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressed</a> Vice President Kamala Harris to get a majority of the Cabinet to remove the president from office using the 25th Amendment since at least February, following the release of a special counsel report that spoke about Biden exhibiting memory problems.
They cranked up the pressure on the White House on Wednesday when Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-staffers-seeking-to-cover-up-the-presidents-cognitive-decline-hit-by-subpoenas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subpoenaed</a> three of Biden&#8217;s staffers following <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/07/05/biden-staffs-white-house-dnc-campaign-miserable-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reporting</a> from Axios that suggested they were seeking to cover up Biden&#8217;s apparent declining cognitive state.
NBC News chief political analyst <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nbcs-chuck-todd-dings-biden-for-misplaced-frustration-with-party-elites" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chuck Todd</a> said on his podcast this week that a Cabinet official, whom he did not name, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cant-run-again-like-this-former-nbc-host-says-bidens-poor-health-an-open-secret" target="_blank" rel="noopener">questioned</a> whether the president would be capable of seeking a second term in the White House — sometime in the first half of Biden&#8217;s administration.
&#8220;I’m not gonna out the Cabinet secretary, right?” the former moderator of &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/07/10/chuck_todd_a_senior_biden_cabinet_secretary_told_me_two_years_ago_he_cant_run_again_like_this.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on &#8220;The Chuck Toddcast,&#8221; adding, &#8220;But I had a Cabinet secretary two years ago… all out of the blue ask me, ‘Do you really think he’s gonna — he can’t run again like this?'&#8221;
He continued, &#8220;This is a pretty senior cabinet secretary. And this was two years ago.&#8221; Todd went on, “This is one of those, you know, it’s the classic open secret, a non-versation, right? It’s the story everybody knows and no one was — everybody was afraid to talk about.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said during a press conference this week that he believes that Vice President Kamala Harris and the rest of President Joe Biden&#8217;s Cabinet should use the 25th Amendment to remove Biden because of his apparent cognitive decline.
&#8220;If I were in the Biden Cabinet &#8230; would I be mulling over the 25th Amendment, applying the Fourth Clause of the 25th Amendment, which has never before been employed in that way?&#8221; he asked at the press conference.
&#8220;And I answered honestly, &#8216;Yes,&#8217; I would,&#8221; he said. &#8220;In good conscience, if I was in the Biden Cabinet, I would be wrestling with that question because I would know what we all know now, that Joe Biden is not up to the task and it&#8217;s a dangerous situation for the reasons we articulated earlier.&#8221;
&#8220;So, there&#8217;s a time to every purpose under Heaven, desperate times call for desperate measures, I think the 25th Amendment is appropriate here,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;We all know that the House doesn&#8217;t have the authority to do that, it&#8217;s the vice president of the United States that has to initiate that process. We don&#8217;t have any involvement unless there&#8217;s a disagreement between the president and what the vice president and the Cabinet decide.&#8221;
Johnson said that he thinks that if most Americans knew how the 25th Amendment worked that they would believe that it is appropriate to use in this situation.
&#8220;I&#8217;m under no illusion that they&#8217;re going to do that,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;But if I were in the Cabinet and &#8230; any of us were in the Cabinet, we would have to honestly say that that&#8217;s something we&#8217;d have to wrestle with.&#8221;

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> Republican is calling on Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> to get a majority of the Cabinet to remove President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> and from office amid concerns about his age and ability to lead effectively by invoking a never-before-used section of the <a href="https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/amendments/amendment-xxv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">25th Amendment</a>.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who has <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/ken-buck-biden-impeachment-inquiry-waste-time-1827425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> the impeachment inquiry against Biden and is <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/ken-buck-wont-seek-re-election-reasons-explained-republicans-colorado-congressman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not seeking re-election</a> in 2024, announced the long-shot bid on Monday with a <a href="https://buck.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/buck-introduces-house-resolution-urging-vp-cabinet-invoke-25th" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that referenced the report by special counsel Robert Hur on Biden&#8217;s handling of classified documents that documents how the president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-counsel-biden-has-significantly-limited-memory-didnt-remember-when-he-was-vp-or-when-son-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exhibited memory problems</a>.
“The Hur report officially addressed what many Americans have long witnessed with their own eyes — that President Biden is no longer fit to successfully discharge the critical duties of his office. Numerous instances were articulated in the report, and have played out in full public view, showing President Biden’s apparent cognitive decline and lack of mental stamina,&#8221; Buck said.
“The societal challenges and security threats our country faces are innumerable and require a chief executive with both strong mental and physical faculties,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The time has come for the vice president and the Cabinet to put our country first and move forward on invoking the 25th Amendment.&#8221;
<a href="https://files.constantcontact.com/60ec52f3801/99d99571-75a4-435a-bc75-d8339e8c7c51.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The resolution</a> mentions findings in Hur&#8217;s report and notes that Biden is the oldest sitting president in U.S. history at the age of 81. It mentions a litany of well-documented incidents in which Biden has appeared confused or lost, tripped or fallen over, and struggled to come up with a correct name.
Also noted in the resolution is how, pursuant to Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution,  Biden serves as commander in chief and at all times has access to the &#8220;nuclear football&#8221; that enables the president to transmit orders to military leaders to launch a nuclear strike and is taken with responding to emergencies.
Positing that the president&#8217;s responsibilities to protect the United States &#8220;necessitate a leader who is of sound mind,&#8221; the resolution urges Harris &#8220;immediately&#8221; use her powers under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to gather the Cabinet &#8220;to declare what is obvious to a horrified Nation: That the president is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office.&#8221;
Buck&#8217;s resolution ends by calling on Harris to then &#8220;transmit to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate notice that she will immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.&#8221;
It was not immediately clear whether the resolution would get a vote in the House, but as Biden runs for re-election, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/86-of-americans-say-biden-too-old-for-another-term-poll" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polls have shown</a> rising <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/another-poll-shows-grim-numbers-for-biden-on-age-question" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concerns about</a> his age and ability to serve a second term.
Harris, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-hits-new-approval-low-as-report-details-his-frustration-with-poll-numbers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">like Biden</a> has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-harris-responds-to-polls-that-show-shes-the-worst-rated-vp-in-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">low approval numbers</a>, is also seeking a second term as vice president on his ticket. In recent months, Harris has indicated that she is ready to become president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harris-pressed-on-whether-she-is-ready-to-become-president-if-necessary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">if necessary</a>, but has also defended Biden&#8217;s mental state.
“I spend a lot of time with President Biden, be it in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room, and other places,” Harris <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-harris-on-bidens-mental-sharpness-he-is-extraordinarily-smart-can-see-around-the-corner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told ABC News in January</a>. “He is extraordinarily smart. He has the ability to see around the corner in terms of what might be the challenges we face as a nation, or globally.”

House Republican Pushes Harris To Invoke 25th Amendment On Biden

House Republicans

Chatter concerning the possible removal of President Joe Biden, 79, from the White House erupted online this weekend after the president on multiple occasions seemed to blurt out escalation talk regarding Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine, all in contrast with White House messaging.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-rushes-to-clean-up-disastrous-remarks-biden-made-about-putin-during-speech">The Daily Wire</a> highlighted that Biden&#8217;s seemingly off-the-cuff remarks had to quickly be addressed and walked-back by the administration.
In one instance, Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-biden-appears-to-tell-u-s-troops-they-are-going-to-ukraine">told</a> a group of American troops in Poland that they were going to see the &#8220;backbone&#8221; and &#8220;guts&#8221; of the Ukrainian people &#8220;when you’re there,&#8221; suggesting the U.S. was putting boots on the ground in Ukraine, in contrast with White House statements and talking points.
POTUS also sparked concern when he seemed to call for regime change in Russia, which, again, comes in contrast with White House messaging. &#8220;For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,&#8221; Biden said of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
&#8220;Now Biden — ONCE AGAIN — begins with some stupid stab at humor. This is so unnerving having this man &#8216;lead&#8217; the free world at this point. This isn’t my political side speaking. This is objectively dangerous, and a host of other bad things,&#8221; columnist and author David Limbaugh observed Saturday.
&#8220;Honestly, the 25th Amendment was crafted for just such a situation as we are now in with Biden,&#8221; Limbaugh asserted. &#8220;Yet at least two things militate against this from happening. 1) His handlers are running things anyway, and 2) [Vice President] Kamala [Harris], though not mentally incompetent — just stupid — could be worse.&#8221;

Chatter Of 25th Amendment Erupts After Biden Ramps Up Escalation Talk On Russia, White House Bats Cleanup

Russia

Ukraine

Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy responded to President Joe Biden&#8217;s push to mandate vaccines on Thursday by suggesting that the president should be removed from office under the 25th Amendment.
&#8220;I’m announcing that the Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees, that together employ over 80 million workers, to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week,&#8221; Biden declared during a press conference. &#8220;The bottom line: We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers.&#8221;
Dunleavy responded to Biden&#8217;s remarks in a tweet, calling the president&#8217;s actions &#8220;ridiculous and unenforceable.&#8221;
&#8220;If there was ever a case for the 25th Amendment,&#8221; Dunleavy added.
More and more politicians are raising the idea of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office, including Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who tweeted last month, &#8220;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?&#8221;
Biden was confronted by a reporter last month over a poll showing that the majority of Americans no longer considered Biden to be &#8220;competent, focused, or effective in the job.&#8221;
Biden claimed that he didn&#8217;t see the poll, and laughed.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), the former White House physician under both Presidents Obama and Trump, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-obama-wh-doctor-biden-no-longer-cognitively-prepared-to-be-our-president-needs-to-resign">called on</a> Biden to resign during a Fox News interview last month, saying that Biden is no longer “cognitively prepared” to be President of the United States.
“We’re looking horrible right now on the world stage; this is an absolute national embarrassment,” Jackson said. “And instead of being out in front of this and talking about what’s going on, and what went wrong, and what the plan was, and what we’re gonna do next, Biden’s just been in hiding again, as he always has.”
“Biden, once again, has failed us. He’s embarrassed as internationally,” Jackson continued. “And you know, honestly, it is time for him to leave. I’ve been saying this for a long time. I’ve been saying that he’s not, he’s not cognitively prepared to be our president. And this is just another example of his failure. And I think a lot of this is relevant to his cognitive ability. But he’s created a national security disaster for this country right now. And it’s time for him to move on and somebody else needs to do this job. He is not fit to be our commander in chief. It’s time for him to resign.”
Jackson says that Biden has gotten away with a lot because “people have cut him slack because they know he’s got these cognitive issues, and he’s older.”
“I think that he’ll resign or I think his own party will remove via the 25th Amendment as the days advance, because there’s just too much liability with this man,” he continued. “They can’t cover for him anymore.”

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) floated the idea of removing President Joe Biden from office Monday after Afghanistan fell to a Taliban onslaught during the U.S. pullout of the country.
“Inflation is raging. The debt ceiling expired &amp; U.S. debt is headed to $45 TRILLION. Kabul is falling to the Taliban &amp; encounters in the #BidenBorderCrisis just hit a 20 YEAR HIGH. Democrats control the House, Senate &amp; @WhiteHouse. What in the world is Joe Biden doing?” Scott tweeted last week.

The 25th Amendment allows for the president to be stripped of authority if the vice president and a majority of cabinet members tell Congress that the president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” The amendment has historically been used in cases of medical emergency.
Afghanistan’s government fell over the weekend as the Taliban conducted a military blitz across the country, capturing major cities, military installations, and eventually the capital of Kabul within just a few days. The U.S. military has overseen a chaotic evacuation of personnel, diplomatic staff, American citizens, and Afghan refugees from Karzai International Airport.
Amid mounting criticism, Biden flew back to Washington, D.C., on Monday from Camp David, where he was on vacation. In a short speech, Biden directly addressed the situation in Afghanistan, simultaneously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-speaks-i-stand-squarely-behind-my-decision-on-afghanistan-but-trump-tied-my-hands">saying</a> that he bore responsibility for the chaotic pullout while claiming that former President Donald Trump had forced his decision and passing blame on the Afghan military and government for falling to the Taliban.
“When I came into office, I inherited a deal that President Trump negotiated with the Taliban. Under his agreement, U.S. forces would be out of Afghanistan by May 1, 2021 – just a little over three months after I took office,” Biden said. “The choice I had to make as your president was to either follow through on that agreement, or be prepared to go back to fighting the Taliban in the middle of the spring fighting season.”
“There was no status quo of stability without American casualties after May 1,” he continued. “There was only the cold reality of either following through on the agreement to withdraw our forces, or escalating the conflict and sending thousands more American troops back into combat in Afghanistan, lurching into the third decade of conflict.”
“I always promised the American people that I would be straight with you. The truth is, this did unfold more quickly than we anticipated,” Biden continued. “So what’s happened? Afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country. The Afghan military collapsed, some without trying to fight. If anything, the developments of the past week reinforce that ending U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan now was the right decision. American troops cannot and should not be fighting in a war, and dying in a war, that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves.”

GOP Senator Floats Using 25th Amendment, Stripping Biden Of Power

Afghanistan

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who served as the White House physician under the last two administrations, said Monday that it was time to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden because of the disaster that has unfolded in Afghanistan.
Jackson made the remarks after days of disturbing images showing a chaotic and embarrassing pullout of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Those images reached a low point on Monday morning when hundreds of Afghans were seen chasing U.S. military cargo planes that were taking off, with some falling off the plane after it had taken off and reached high altitude.
Over the weekend, Jackson fumed as Biden avoided addressing the American public while he hid at Camp David. Jackson said at the time that if Biden was &#8220;not mentally capable&#8221; of managing the crisis that he needed to resign immediately.
Jackson resumed those calls on Monday, writing on Twitter: &#8220;Remember when I said it was time to consider the 25th Amendment and the LIARS in the liberal press ATTACKED me? I wonder what they think now after Biden is very OBVIOUSLY mentally incapable of leading during a crisis. Something MUST be done!&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Jackson proceeded to fire off several additional tweets throughout the day hitting Biden:
<ul>
<li>&#8220;Why did it take so long for Biden to schedule an address to the public? WHAT WAS HE DOING THIS PAST WEEKEND!? The Afghan crisis is getting worse by the minute, and the &#8216;leader&#8217; of the free world was hiding in the basement. THIS IS A DISGRACE!&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;The only &#8216;solution&#8217; to Afghanistan we’ve heard from the White House so far is &#8216;BLAME TRUMP!&#8217; They won’t admit their failures, they won’t present a plan &#8211; they’re content with watching the world BURN then blaming Trump for their inaction. YOU CAN’T BLAME TRUMP FOREVER!&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;If the buck stops with Biden, why didn&#8217;t he mention ONCE the absolute FAILURE this withdrawal has become? Americans are trapped in harm&#8217;s way, and their safety is in COMPLETE control of the murderous Taliban. This &#8216;response&#8217; was REPULSIVE and DANGEROUS! #25thAmendment&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Why didn’t he take any questions afterwards? Oh, because he is just barely capable of reading a teleprompter and HE’S GOING BACK ON VACATION. Stay in the White House and DO YOUR JOB!&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Joe Biden’s WEAKNESS will have repercussions across the globe. China is watching, and now their state media is openly threatening Taiwan. Biden’s inaction this past weekend has made America WEAKER. Why won’t he do ANYTHING!?&#8221;</li>

President Biden Delivers Remarks On Afghanistan

Ex-Obama Doctor Floats 25th Amendment: Biden ‘Mentally Incapable,’ ‘Something Must Be Done!’

Ronny Jackson

Former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who served in the role under both Presidents Obama and Trump, told Fox News on Thursday night that he believes that President Joe Biden will be forced to resign or will face the 25th Amendment over issues related to his fitness for office.
Jackson, who now represents Texas’ 13th Congressional District, told Fox News that he has been saying for a while that &#8220;something&#8217;s going on here.&#8221;
&#8220;And I&#8217;ve been saying that it&#8217;s only going to get worse, and guess what? We&#8217;re watching that happen right before our eyes right now,&#8221; Jackson said. &#8220;And I&#8217;m at the point right now where, you know, I went from, you know, telling people, we should be concerned about what might potentially be going on, to now saying, hey, what is happening right now?&#8221;
&#8220;Where are the people in our academic medicine that were out there calling for President Trump to have a cognitive test? Where are these people?&#8221; Jackson continued. &#8220;There&#8217;s something seriously going on with this man right now. And you know, I think that he&#8217;s either gonna, he&#8217;s either gonna resign, they&#8217;re going to convince him to resign from office at some point in the near future for medical issues, or they&#8217;re going to have to use the 25th Amendment to get rid of this man right now. There&#8217;s some serious stuff going on right now.&#8221;
Jackson said that members of Biden&#8217;s cabinet are likely looking at Biden and wondering if he is able to effectively carry out his duties as President of the United States. Jackson added that &#8220;this is a national security issue at this point … it really is.&#8221;
Jackson later posted the video clip of the segment to Twitter, writing: &#8220;Something&#8217;s SERIOUSLY wrong with Biden &#8211; and it&#8217;s only going to get WORSE! It&#8217;s past the point of embarrassment. He&#8217;s lost. He&#8217;s confused. He can barely put a coherent sentence together. He MUST have a cognitive exam and release the results!&#8221;

Jackson also took note of a clip that went viral from CNN&#8217;s Biden town hall on Wednesday night, writing: &#8220;WHAT IS WRONG with this guy!!!! The American people deserve to know. This is our Commander in Chief… I am terrified for our country!&#8221;
In the clip, Biden was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/crushing-it-clip-of-biden-goes-viral-from-cnn-town-hall-event">asked</a> about when children under the age of 12 will be able to be vaccinated.
“Soon, I believe,” Biden responded. “Now look, one of the things that I committed to do when I got elected, I said–”
“How soon is soon, Mr. President?” CNN’s Don Lemon pressed.
“–[inaudible] well, let me finish the question. The answer, soon in the sense that I do not tell any scientists what they should do, I do not interfere,” Biden responded. “And so, they are doing, they’re doing the examinations now, the testing now and making the decision now. When they are ready, when they’ve done all the scientific need be done to determine children at ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, they, in fact, are, all have different makeups, they’re developing, they’re trying to figure out whether or not there’s a vaccination that would affect one child with, that’s at such and such an age and not another child.”

President Biden Meets With Union And Business Leaders On Infrastructure

Ex-Obama Doctor Predicts Biden To Resign Or Face 25th Amend: ‘A National Security Issue At This Point’

Vice President Mike Pence used House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s (D-CA) words against her in a letter on Tuesday evening explaining why he will not invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.
The letter comes as Democrats have introduced an article of impeachment against the president for the riot that broke out last week in the nation&#8217;s capital. Democrats have also sought to pressure Pence into removing Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment.
&#8220;Every American was shocked and saddened by the attack on our Nation&#8217;s Capitol last week, and I am grateful for the leadership that you and other congressional leaders provided in reconvening Congress to complete the people&#8217;s business on the very same day,&#8221; Pence began. &#8220;It was a moment that demonstrated to the American people the unity that is still possible in Congress when it is needed most.&#8221;
&#8220;But now, with just eight days left in the President&#8217;s term, you and the Democratic Caucus are demanding that the Cabinet and I invoke the 25th Amendment,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with our Constitution. Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exert power beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our Nation.&#8221;
&#8220;As you know full well, the 25th Amendment was designed to address Presidential incapacity or disability,&#8221; Pence continued. &#8220;Just a few months ago, when you introduced legislation to create a 25th Amendment Commission, you said, &#8216;&#8221;[a] President&#8217;s fitness for office must be determined by science and facts.&#8217; You said then that we must be &#8216;[v]ery respectful of not making a judgment on the basis of a comment or behavior that we don&#8217;t like, but based on a medical decision.&#8217; Madam Speaker, you were right. Under our Constitution, the 25th Amendment is not a means of punishment or usurpation. Invoking the 25th Amendment in such a manner would set a terrible precedent.&#8221;
Pence noted that Bible says that &#8220;for everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven &#8230; a time to heal &#8230; and a time to build up&#8221; and that now is that time for America. Pence invited Pelosi to help unite and heal the country, which was a theme of Democrat Joe Biden&#8217;s presidential campaign.
&#8220;I urge you and every member of Congress to avoid actions that would further divide and inflame the passions of the moment,&#8221; the letter concluded. &#8220;Work with us to lower the temperature and unite our country as we prepare to inaugurate President-elect Joe Biden as the next President of the United States. I pledge to you that I will continue to do my part to work in good faith with the incoming administration to ensure an orderly transition of power. So help me God.&#8221;

Congress Holds Joint Session To Ratify 2020 Presidential Election

Pence Uses Pelosi’s Own Words Against Her As He Explains Why He Won’t Invoke 25th Amendment

Impeachment

Mike Pence

Nancy Pelosi

President Donald Trump told a rally in Alamo, Texas, on Tuesday that he faces &#8220;zero risk&#8221; from the 25th Amendment in his final days in office and instead warned incoming President-elect Joe Biden that the process would come back to &#8220;haunt&#8221; him.
In his first public rally since a number of his supporters staged a riot and attack on the United States Capitol last week, Trump lashed out at lawmakers looking to pursue a second impeachment and warned that any effort to end his presidency early would be &#8220;dangerous&#8221; for the United States.
&#8220;I&#8217;d like to briefly address the events of last week,&#8221; Trump began. &#8220;Millions of our citizens watched on Wednesday as a mob stormed the Capitol and trashed the halls of government. As I have consistently said throughout my administration, we believe in respecting America&#8217;s history and traditions, not tearing them down.&#8221;
He then pivoted to recent efforts to remove him from office and ban him from social media platforms.
&#8220;Free speech is under assault like never before,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration. As the expression goes, be careful what you wish for.&#8221;
House Democrats submitted a measure on Monday, demanding Vice President Mike Pence invoke the 25th Amendment with the assistance of the president&#8217;s Cabinet, effectively stripping Trump of the powers of the office of the president. If Pence refuses, the House will vote on a single impeachment count, also submitted Monday, charging the president with &#8220;inciting an insurrection&#8221; at the U.S. Capitol last week.
It is unlikely Pence will trigger the 25th Amendment; the president has just ten days left in his term, and many of his Cabinet officials have resigned in protest after last week&#8217;s shocking events. Trump, though, seemed to indicate he believes Democrats will use the process again on Biden in order to remove him from office &#8212; a charge some of Trump&#8217;s supporters leveled over the summer when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) convened a study group on the subject.
Trump also addressed a possible second impeachment, harkening back to Democrats&#8217; first effort at removing him from office, calling the new charge an &#8220;impeachment hoax,&#8221; as he did the last ones.
&#8220;The impeachment hoax is the continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain, far greater than most people will ever understand, which is very dangerous for the USA, especially at this very tender time,&#8221; Trump said.
The rally in Alamo, Texas, along the United States&#8217; southern border, was meant to focus on the Trump administration&#8217;s illegal immigration interdiction efforts. Trump spoke, mostly, about his administration&#8217;s crackdown on border jumpers and asylum-seekers and his efforts to build a wall across the southern U.S. border &#8212; efforts Biden has pledged to bring to a halt his first day in office.

Trump Says 25th Amendment ‘Zero Risk To Me,’ Warns Process Will Come Back To ‘Haunt’ Joe Biden

Donald Trump

Congressional Democrats will seek one more option of removing President Donald Trump from office before resorting to impeachment but plan to move forward on an Article of Impeachment quickly should that plan fail.
Democrats will seek to introduce a resolution via unanimous consent calling for Vice President Mike Pence and the president’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and strip Trump of power, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Sunday evening. House Democrats would demand Pence respond to the resolution within 24 hours.
“Next, we will proceed with bringing impeachment legislation to the Floor,” said Pelosi.
“In protecting our Constitution and our Democracy, we will act with urgency, because this president represents an imminent threat to both,” Pelosi wrote to Democratic Colleagues. “As the days go by, the horror of the ongoing assault on our Democracy perpetrated by this president is intensified and so is the immediate need for action.”
The Article of Impeachment, drafted by several House Democrats, charges Trump with “willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States,” reports <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/01/10/us/joe-trump-biden">The New York Times</a>. As of Sunday afternoon, 210 Democrats have agreed to co-sponsor the charge.
Congressman Ted Lieu (D-CA), a co-author of the impeachment charge, said the Democrats will introduce the Article of Impeachment against Trump on Monday, but only vote to impeach him should Pence and the president’s cabinet decline to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would make Pence the acting president of the United States.

Congressional Democrats would be angling for a swift impeachment, but will reportedly want to delay any Senate trial until President-elect Joe Biden has completed his first 100 days in office as president, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-impeachments-pat-toomey-latin-america-61cc494f74843f711993105c3a32f640">according</a> to the Associated Press.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has already told Senate Republicans in a memo obtained by <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/senate-impeachment-trump-mcconnell/2021/01/08/5f650ad0-520d-11eb-b2e8-3339e73d9da2_story.html">The Washington Post</a> that the Senate would have to receive Unanimous Consent — an extremely unlikely possibility — in order to take up an impeachment trial before January 20, 2021.
Democrats will also seek to introduce a resolution Monday calling for Vice President Mike Pence and the president’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would strip Trump of power and make Pence the acting president of the United States.
Seven House Republicans, all of whom voted to certify the election for Biden, have called on the president-elect to intervene against impeachment by calling Pelosi directly.
“This impeachment would undermine your priority of unifying Americans, and would be a further distraction to our nation at a time when millions of our fellow citizens are hurting because of the pandemic and the economic fallout,” wrote Reps. Ken Buck, Tom McClintock, Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, Kelly Armstrong, Nancy Mace and Mike Gallagher. 
“We respectfully urge you to encourage Speaker Pelosi to set aside this partisan effort immediately,&#8221; they added.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Holds Weekly News Conference

House Dems To Bring Impeachment Charge, Introduce Resolution Calling On Pence To Invoke 25th Amendment

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would strip President Donald Trump of power and make Pence the president for the remainder of the president’s term, which ends January 20, 2021, at noon. 
Pelosi, who was recently re-elected speaker, is the latest Democratic lawmaker to call for immediate action to be taken against the president, who spoke to anti-certification protesters in Washington, D.C., before the U.S. Capitol building was breached.
“The president has committed an unspeakable assault on our nation and our people,” said Pelosi in a press conference. “I join the Senate Democratic leader in calling on the vice president to remove this president by immediately invoking the 25th Amendment.”
“If the vice president and cabinet do not act, the Congress may be prepared to move forward with impeachment,” she added. 
In a separate press conference, Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) said the president&#8217;s actions Wednesday were &#8220;the problem, not the solution,&#8221; but he also said that he didn&#8217;t believe invoking the 25th Amendment was &#8220;appropriate at this point,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/nicholaswu12/status/1347267353009135616">reports</a> USA Today. He also said he was looking for a peaceful transition to the Biden administration and was hoping for the next 14 days to serve as a &#8220;reset.&#8221;

“Sadly, yesterday it became evident that not only has the president abdicated his duty to protect the American people and the people’s House, he invoked and inflamed passions that only gave fuel to the insurrection that we saw here. When pressed to move and denounce the violence, he barely did so, while, of course, victimizing himself and seeming to give a wink and a nod to those doing it,” said Kinzinger in a video statement.
“All indications are that the president has become unmoored, not just from his duty or even his oath, but from reality itself. It is for this reason that I call for the vice president and members of the president’s cabinet to ensure the next few weeks are safe for the American people, and that we have a sane captain of the ship,” he added.
