What Happened to the 25th Amendment?

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 9/30/2024 11:22:10 PM

Why are we still asked to pretend Joe Biden is running the country? Every time he shows his face, he reminds the American people how much his cognition has declined and how he can’t be trusted to finish a speech or remember which foreign leader he’s introducing, let alone manage the daily affairs of running the country. The man was forced to bow out of his campaign after he embarrassed the national press corps and Democratic Party elites during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump in June. But Democrats and political operatives in the corporate media aren’t as concerned about Biden making us an international laughingstock until Jan. 20, 2025.

Joe Biden never ran the country. That's why the 25th amendment was never used.

The 25 th is somewhat complicated. The Vice President only becomes the Acting president. At anytime the president can notify both houses of Congress that his infirmity has be resolved at which time it takes a 2/3s vote in each house to prevent his return to power- at which time he can fire every cabinet member who voted to remove him should he so desire.

Because that was the deal Pelosi negotiated with Biden. If you agree not to run for re-election, we don't pull the trigger on the 25th amendment.

The problem with the 25th Amendment is that it relies on the party in power to do the right thing and push out an incapacitated President. Of course, the dems are NOT the party of doing the "right thing". If anything, they are the exact opposite. Consider how Kamala became the proposed candidate without winning a single vote. Her status was achieved by a party negotiation, NOT a democratic process. Given a propaganda media who refuse to expose such actions as the anti American evil they are, it breezed through. The problem with the 25th amendment is the problem with the Government as a whole. Leadership has lost a moral center that would push it to do the right thing. John Adams stated "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.". We can now see the truth of his insight.

Just look at what Pelosi, Obama and others have been able to pull off. It all took a remarkable amount of planning and choreography, but the Dems can always count on each other when things get questionable and they NEVER allow leaks or participate in backstabbing each other. They have managed to keep a President in office who is clearly incompetent, refuse to discuss who is running the country, allow Harris to be the Presidential candidate without a single primary vote, ignore a crackhead family member's criminal behavior and have a very good chance of actually winning the House and the Presidency. And what do we do? At the first sign of controversy, we scatter into different corners and then repeatedly take the Dem bait and badmouth each other on every media source available. And, oh. Then we wonder why we have trouble attracting voters or getting our message out there. Alllll of these years and we still haven't been able to find a successful way to deal with the media??? We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Joe and Kamala are still working on destroying the First and Second Amendments. It will be a while before they get to the 25th.

For years, Americans have watched as our country has been stripped of our jobs and stripped of our wealth. We've watched our companies get sold off to foreign countries. But with my plan for the American economy, this will stop immediately. When I am president, we will begin to take other countries' jobs and factories, bringing businesses and trillions of dollars back to the United States. Under my plan, American workers will no longer be worried about losing their jobs to foreign nations. Instead, foreign nations will be worried about losing their jobs to Americans. German car companies can become American car companies. We can beat China in electronic production.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz talked a huge game during his first appearance with Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democrat running mate. “I can’t wait to debate the guy,” he said of Sen. J.D. Vance, his Republican opponent from Ohio. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.” Walz’s tune has changed so dramatically now that it’s unrecognizable. “Tim Walz is telling people he’s just as nervous about facing JD Vance as he was the Sunday afternoon in August when he warned Kamala Harris in his running mate interview that he was a bad debater,” said CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere.

I was once taught you should always open an important speech by making reference to a shared experience. So what do all of us at Rescue the Republic have in common? Nothing! In a pre-Trump universe, chimpanzees would be typing their fourth copy of Hamlet before RFK Jr., Robert Malone, Zuby, Tulsi Gabbard, Russell Brand, Bret Weinstein, and I would organically get together for any reason, much less at an event like this.

Six months after Rep.

This includes more than 400,000 convicted criminals and another 200,000 with pending criminal charges. Of those 400,000, 13,000 had been convicted of murder, 15,000 had been convicted of sexual assault, and more than 50,000 had drug convictions.

Censorship is the only hope for increasingly desperate Democratic grandees as Kamala Harris flounders in swing states and among Hispanic voters against Donald Trump. The vapid candidate they installed at the last minute is shaping up to be even less palatable to voters than her predecessor, Joe Biden. Apart from her off-putting personality and inability to string together a coherent sentence, her biggest liability is the illegal migrant invasion. As Biden’s designated border czar, Harris cannot evade responsibility for the irreparable damage on her watch, after 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens entered the country, including hundreds of thousands of criminals and terrorists.

Vice President Kamala Harris is fond of saying that Donald Trump is only in it for himself, not the American people. Well, this weekend we saw, in a picture-perfect example of psychological projection, Harris throwing a small business under the bus for her own supposed political gain. On Saturday, GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance tried to drop in on Pittsburgh’s famed Primanti Bros. sandwich shop, only to be barred entry. This came much to the disappointment of waiting voters, some of whom angrily recorded the events on their phones.

Nearly all Gallup measures that have shown some relationship to past presidential election outcomes or that speak to current perceptions of the two major parties favor the Republican Party over the Democratic Party. Chief among these are Republican advantages in U.S. adults’ party identification and leanings, the belief that the GOP rather than the Democratic Party is better able to handle the most important problem facing the country, Americans’ dissatisfaction with the state of the nation, and negative evaluations of the economy with a Democratic administration in office.

In 2019, I became the first African American to lead a federal financial regulatory agency when President Trump made me Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration, the independent federal agency overseeing credit unions across the country. From that position, I had a unique view of how economic policies impacted African American workers, families, and businesses. As the 2024 election approaches, I am confident a second Trump administration will build on the record of accomplishment in his first term, especially for African American communities.

PHILADELPHIA — Dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas began walking picket lines early Tuesday in a strike over wages and automation that could reignite inflation and cause shortages of goods if it goes on more than a few weeks. The contract between the ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired at midnight, and even though progress was reported in talks on Monday, the workers went on strike. The strike affecting 36 ports is the first by the union since 1977. Workers began picketing at the Port of Philadelphia shortly after midnight, walking in a circle

What exactly does this woman do all day, other than campaign for Kamala Harris? Raimondo was in the news last week for suggesting that Democrats should ‘extinguish’ Donald Trump. She also has a track record of being shockingly unfamiliar with issues that are directly related to her job. Financial experts are warning that this strike could cost the U.S. billions of dollars a day and severely slow the transport of goods across the country.

Last week, Iran’s leaders found themselves in a familiar position. The Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was the latest in a series of assassinations of senior figures with ties to the regime. In a short statement eulogising Nasrallah, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, declared that Israel had “not become victorious” by carrying out the strike on Nasrallah, which he described as an “atrocity”. Khamenei insisted that Israel would face “more crushing” blows in retribution. But those blows are to come from the groups of the “resistance front” and not from Iran itself.

Perhaps to no one's surprise, the New York Times continued an unbroken string of endorsing Democrats for president that it began in 1960. In a hard pivot, the New York Times joined the rest of the media in turning from extolling the "joy" of Kamala's campaign to harping on her character. The article declares that Donald Trump is unfit to hold office (the editorial is much more fun if you read this part aloud using your best Foghorn Leghorn voice). According to the editorial, "regardless of any political disagreements voters might have with her, Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice for president."

The longshoreman boss promises that his 45,000-worker strike will "cripple" the country. He makes his threat in a creepy video. Thing is, he's right that his workers' strike will put the country's economy on the ropes again — just in time for an election, hurricane clean-up, and Christmas. Indeed, as Rick reports, the International Longshoreman Association's (ILA) members demand a 77% increase over the six-year life of the contract. So far, they have a 50% increase on the table from the consortium of companies, port bosses, and merchant groups. They don't want further automation at the ports, which, of course, puts the country on the ropes

Americans have been warned to stock up on food, gas, and necessary items for several weeks. Many claim massive shortages of items we use every day will occur due to a looming strike by the ILA (International Longshore Association). (X) On Sept. 27, US Rep.

Greene claims, “It’s very important to understand how critical this is given that America is now in a $36 billion dollar food trade deficit for the first time in our nation’s history. Also, the Biden-Harris administration and congressional out-of-control spending have driven inflation so high that many Americans can’t afford quality of life.

USS Bulkely (DDG-84) and USS Cole (DDG-67) fired a dozen interceptors as part of the U.S. response to Iranian missiles launched at Israel, the Pentagon announced Tuesday. Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, Pentagon Press Secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters on Tuesday. He did not elaborate on what type of interceptors the two destroyers used. No ground-based interceptors were used. More information will come later once analysis of the attack is completed, Ryder said. “We condemn these reckless attacks by Iran, and we call on Iran to halt any further attacks, including from its proxy forces,” Ryder said. Initial analysis suggests all rockets were fired from Iran.
