Opinion: Biden’s Drop from the Ticket Means 25th Amendment Time

Biden lacks the wherewithal to remain in the election campaign fray, therefore “in the best interest of [his] party and the country” he must now clean out his desk, say Au revoir, and depart for full-time residence in Rehoboth.

This from thefederalist.com.

When he eventually addresses the nation, Biden will likely portray himself as a modern-day hero, withdrawing from the race to protect his political party and America from the existential threat of Donald Trump. Whether Biden mentions his horrible debate performance remains to be seen, but if he does, he will surely frame the spectacle as he has over the last three weeks: as a mistake, a bad night, or caused by jet lag or by Trump’s off-mic interruptions.

Left unsaid will be the fact that party insiders and mega-donors forced Biden to step down out of fear Trump would win the presidency again.

These reasons, however, are all misdirection, seeking to distract the country from what the Left witnessed during the debate: a man masquerading as commander-in-chief and  suffering from a mental incapacity.

Yes, the public spectacle of the cognitive impairment prompted [the Left] to conclude Biden could not win reelection, and the conclusion that Biden could not win reelection led to his withdrawal from the race. But why Biden bowed out or why Biden or others claim he did is not significant.

Instead, what matters is that Biden lacks a stable mental capacity. That matters because a man lacking in lucidity, even if only at times, cannot discharge the powers and duties of the office of president. As was reported after the debate:

Whether caused by age, dementia, or Alzheimer’s matters not. The president of the United States cannot discharge his duties if he lacks lucidity for even a fraction of the day. The commander-in-chief must be able to command the executive branch 24-7.

Now, Biden’s withdrawal as a candidate is not enough; he must resign from the presidency, or the cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment.

Democrats and their media lapdogs may pretend otherwise, acting as if Biden merely lacks the stamina to campaign and that his frailty does not affect his ability to serve as commander-in-chief. [D]uring the debate, Biden wasn’t lacking in vigor. He was lacking in lucidity.

Soon after the debate, big-time Leftist booster George Clooney confirmed Biden’s mental incapacity by announcing that the man he saw at a June fundraiser “was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.” Speaking of the debate, Clooney told Party leaders in his New York Times op-ed to stop saying “that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw.”

During the debate, Biden unmistakably showed he was lacking in mental competency—as well as being a frail elderly man.

That disturbing performance confirmed the numerous earlier instances in which Americans saw a cognitively challenged [old man].

Add to those facts Special Counsel Robert Hur’s conclusion that:

[Biden would] likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.

Hur’s report further detailed Biden’s shocking memory lapses and recommended against charging the president for mishandling classified documents. And Attorney General Merrick Garland’s refusal to release the audio recording of Hur’s interviews with Biden only cements the perception that the tape is even worse than the special counsel portrayed.

Notwithstanding the press’s initial coverage of Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, the mass propaganda media did not perform their journalistic duty. And, with the Biden now out of the race, reporters will cover for him.

Americans, though, know the truth—that Joe Biden is mentally incapacitated. Sadly, so do our enemies.
