Chip Roy demands Kamala remove Biden via 25th Amendment

Rep. Chip Roy of Texas is urging Vice President Kamala Harris to convene the executive cabinet and invoke section 4 of the 25th Amendment, the right to declare the president unfit for office.

The resolution claims that Biden "has repeatedly and publicly demonstrated his inability to discharge the powers and duties of the Presidency, including, among others, the powers and duties of the Commander-in-Chief."

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment authorizes the vice president and a majority of the executive cabinet to make the decision whether the president is fit to continue in office or not.

Biden has faced severe backlash following a disastrous debate performance on Thursday in which the president was seen visibly confused, mouth agape, and frequently unable to complete sentences.

Such a radical move would certainly lead to legal battles, voter confusion, and a last-minute scramble for a new candidate to connect with the American people.

Republicans have seized the moment as vindication after years of questioning the president's mental acuity but being denied by the mainstream media and political insiders.
