Utopia Talk / Politics / Pelosi/Harris plotting to depose Biden

Rugian Member	Fri Oct 09 12:13:48 "Speaker Nancy Pelosi has thrown her support behind legislation that would establish a panel of experts and former executive branch officials to determine whether a president lacks the mental or physical capacity to carry out the job. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), would shore up a process established under the 25th Amendment by which the vice president can assume control of the presidency if the president becomes incapacitated or is unable to perform the duties of the office. ... Although Democrats are resurfacing the bill this week just days after President Donald Trump was hospitalized for the coronavirus, Pelosi said the proposal is about establishing a process for the future to prevent a crisis. “This is not about President Trump. He will face the judgment of the voters. But he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents,” Pelosi told reporters Friday, standing beside a massive chart stating the 25th Amendment. She added that the proposal isn’t about presidential “behavior” but about an actual diagnosis by medical professionals." http://www...sidential-capacity-bill-428319 So this proposal isnt directed at Trump, but rather at "future presidents"...and as it just so happens, a potential "future president" is a frail septuagenarian who is already clearly suffering from acute senility...hmm. Biden is being strung along so bad lol. If he wins, I hope he enjoys his first hundred days in office, because those will also be his last hundred days. Hello President Affirmative Action!
habebe Member	Fri Oct 09 12:24:01 http://con...tution/amendment/amendment-xxv The 25th, for reference. Seems very likley, she is setting a back up plan to remove Trump if he wins.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Oct 09 12:31:26 seems a reasonable idea to fix the hole in the 25th Amendment as her visual aid notes, having some other potential body is already in the text: "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide..." & obviously just relying on the administration itself is a total failure as we see w/ completely obviously unfit Trump & all his loyal or scared spineless sheep who can't speak truthfully unless they leave the administration

tumbleweed the wanderer	Fri Oct 09 14:22:47 he tweeted in text version too: "Crazy Nancy Pelosi is looking at the 25th Amendment in order to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. The Dems want that to happen fast because Sleepy Joe is out of it!!!" so Senate should agree then? or maybe they prefer the senile, barely-knows-he's-alive Joe as prez over communist monster Harris?
Rugian Member	Fri Oct 09 14:28:26 Senate Rs would never pass this to screw over Trump, because they'd promptly get primaried by their Trump-loving constituents... ...on the other hand, Senate Ds would probably be on board with installing Harris at the right moment, because if they didnt they'd promptly get primaried by their progressive constituents. The pieces are quickly falling into place.
habebe Member	Fri Oct 09 17:49:52 Lets be frank what this is, its a round about around impeachment. Which we already have.Not sure why the current system doesn't work , f a potus is unwell and unable to do the job cabimet members can enforce the 25th.
kargen Member	Fri Oct 09 18:11:57 The kicker in all this is "Whenever the Vice President and..." Congress can maybe change who the "and" is but it is still an "and" meaning if the VP doesn't agree it doesn't happen. Would take an amendment to the constitution to change that "and" to an "or" and I doubt either party will have enough majority for an amendment change.
Habebe Member	Fri Oct 09 18:26:51 Yeah, your right, probably to make President Harris and VP Pelosi. -------- Section 4 Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
Dukhat Member	Fri Oct 09 19:43:54 Cuckservatives still think their Biden senile narrative worked. It only shone a light on Trump’s mental deterioration.
PhunkyPhishStyle Member	Sun Oct 11 11:32:48 It’s a good proposal. We need it. These are some seriously old senile bastards we are talking about here.
Habebe Member	Sun Oct 11 11:38:48 Phish, We have the ability to do this now. Its just a matter of who makes this decision.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Sun Oct 11 16:31:14 you mean relying on the group of people selected by the guy whose only requirement is loyalty to him?
kargen Member	Sun Oct 11 17:28:06 and this proposal wouldn't change that tumbleweed because the amendment makes it clear the VP is needed to make the decision.
habebe Member	Mon Oct 12 00:11:32 tw, You would rather have members of Congress pick a hand full doctors? this is clearly gling yo lead to partisan abuse. Why not let state governors or legislatures pick the panel?
Im better then you 2012 UP Football Champ	Mon Oct 12 00:43:30 regarding the OP No shit. If Biden claimed he cured Covid and demanded everyone help clean "forest floors" or bleaching their lungs I'd like to think they would remove him from office.
tumbleweed the wanderer	Mon Oct 12 01:05:33 and undermining faith in elections, media, DOJ, FBI, CIA, DNI, HHS, FDA, CDC, EPA, State Dept, courts, judges, etc all for his own interests and repeatedly accusing people of committing crimes without citing the crime or evidence of said crime & even urging his AG to indict those people (that's actually really really fucking odd & disturbing behavior from the head of the exec branch...) i'll take any group who can look at Trump and say 'wow, he's so incredibly obviously unfit, you gotta remove him asap'
Forwyn Member	Mon Oct 12 01:42:22 ^At least 8/13 of those listed are worth undermining.
