There's been plenty of examples of his "senior moments", so it's a valid question. Although they might want to be careful of what they wish for.

It might be a valid question if it wasn’t to brazenly partisan.

Just look at the Gas price rises in America. Republicans are going to do well in the Mid terms - Democrats just don't know how to govern properly, high taxes, high crime guaranteed under Democrat rule - just look at New York City crime statistics. :rolleyes:

But they got a new Holiday, Yay.

And not asking the question isn't extremely partisan?:rolleyes: There is more than enough evidence for the question needing to be answered.

It needed to be answered before the election. I wonder what the Constitution would have to say about any answer.

I do have reservations about his mental state and I think it shows how desperate the Dems were for Bernie to not get the nomination.

However people voted for him. The same people who had the same view before the election - to put it in CF binary terms - lost. Biden won. If new people come to that view or new evidence arises to suggest he's incapable of the role then there's due process to replace him.

Quote from The Hill:

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who stirred controversy as former President Trump’s White House physician, said Thursday he is circulating a letter among House GOP colleagues that calls on President Biden to take a cognitive test to prove he is mentally fit to be commander in chief.

Jackson began collecting signatures for his letter this week during GOP meetings and House votes.

After this story was published, Jackson tweeted that he sent the letter to Biden; Biden's physician, Kevin O'Connor; and Anthony Fauci, chief medical adviser to the president.

Given the precedent set and President Biden’s CLEAR mental struggles, I believe it’s past time he take a cognitive test.

I sent a letter to him saying just that! ⬇️https://t.co/6RCKj7pFYd
— Ronny Jackson (@RepRonnyJackson) June 17, 2021

Thirteen other Republicans joined Jackson in signing the letter.

“Just everything that has been going on for the last year and a half … [Biden] doesn't know what's going on, where he's at. He's very confused all the time,” Jackson said in a brief interview with The Hill.

Jackson, who served as White House physician for both former Presidents Obama and Trump, has never treated or evaluated Biden, but he’s been attacking Biden’s cognitive abilities since last year’s presidential campaign.

Looks like the knives are out for sleepy Joe.

Ah, the doctor who said

Quote:

"You know, I told the president that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old,” Jackson continued.

“He has incredibly good genes, and it’s just the way God made him."

And who said Trump was 6' 3" (here is Trump, standing right next to Obama, who is 6' 1")

I suppose Trump could have grown 2 inches after he was elected President?

Height and weight accuracy does not stop a Doctor being concerned about the current occupant of the White House, hell, I am not a doctor and can tell Biden is a walking Dementia case.

Stop being in denial Hugh - Biden is a walking embarrassment for the U.S right now, more so than Trump could ever have been.

Re: President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office

I'm curious what the mechanism is for removing a POTUS who becomes incapacitated in office?

Re: President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office

It’s the 25th amendment. A gang of people have to agree he’s not medically competent to go on. It requires a declaration from the VP, signed by a majority of the cabinet, to be delivered to congress. If the president contests it, congress decides, but requires a supermajority to ratify his removal.

Two main ways.

President themselves can declare if they are fit to be president or not, say if they have a short illness or have to be hospitalised, they have to submit a written declaration, one to President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House.

After their own written submission, they can shortly after retake the presidency, by declaring in the same way as above.

Vice President and Cabinet declaration with majority view that the President is unable to perform their duties. The Vice President then becomes Acting President.

Congress plays a role if they do not agree, if a president tries to declare they are medically fit for duty after a Vice Presidential and Cabinet declaration, two thirds majority required (in each chamber) to successfully remove the unfit president permanently and the Acting President becomes President, this process of the 25th Amendment has never been used.

The guy is clearly struggling. It would be a kindness to put him out to grass. But is the USA ready for a female president?

Re: President Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office

I’ve always suspected Biden only ever intended to serve one term, with the party pushing for its primaries to crown Kamala Harris as his successor. If he has a good run, and endorses her, it would be hard for anyone to seriously contest it. Of course it’s always possible for him to voluntarily resign during his term, perhaps in his third year, so Harris contests the 2024 election as the incumbent. Assuming he makes it that far of course ...

Re: US President Joe Biden

I think we are well past 100 days now, title updated.

Here he is snapping at a female journalist, just the other day after his Putin meeting in which he had said he had "Constructive talks", had this been Trump, it had have been a much bigger, negative story.

Re: US President Joe Biden

Trump, Reagan Nixon - the bar isn't set high for US President. Never convinced they ever really have that much power anyway, thankfully.
