He called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to have Biden removed from office.
"If I’m China, I’m taking off the shelf the war plans to invade Taiwan,"Jacobson said. "If I’m Iran, I’m breaking out towards a nuclear weapon. If I’m Putin, I’m doubling down on Ukraine and possibly other former Soviet satellites. Can you imagine an emergency situation where immediate military decisions that only a president can make need to be made in seconds or minutes, and the military having to go to diminished Joe for a decision?"
He added Biden’s "cognitive decline is a national security threat of the highest order."
House Speaker Mike Johnson said something similar Friday.
"There’s a lot of people asking about the 25th Amendment, invoking the 25th Amendment right now, because this is an alarming situation," Johnson said. "Our adversaries see the weakness in this White House as we all do. I take no pleasure in saying that. I think this is a very dangerous situation."

"Only Democrats can act, and they should before it’s too late," he added.
