Amendment XXV affects 9 (Amendment 25 - Presidential Vacancy, Disability, and Inability)


1: In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.

2: Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

3: Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.

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.
 
Why is the intention of the Amendment ineffective when we need it?


I love what I find sometimes when I query a topic

And, do you remember when it was deployed against Trump?



There is a simple solution to this.

Republicans are idiots if they impeach Biden now and remove him. First of all, that would put the even worse Harris in office, plus it would allow them to swap Joe out for someone younger, popular and coherent. Now that Joe has officially been deemed too incompetent to stand trial therefore not fit for office, leave him on the ballot; let him run against Trump officially deemed incompetent. The guy doesn't know the day of the week. Biden is sinking fast--- just imagine what Joe will look like by October trying to debate Trump on a stage???!

Section 1. In case of the removal of the President, or Security Department Executive, from office or upon death or resignation, the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court shall assume the responsibilities of the Presidency pro tempore and schedule an election cycle for a succeeding President.

Much better
 
We are probably going to be exposed to the recording of the deposition if the Administration does not declare him incapacitated by the end of the Super Bowl.

They’re not going to, so don’t worry about that. They couldn’t impeach myorkas, so there’s almost zero chance they will impeach Biden.

Errors?
 
I see no problem with it.

#3 assumes of the amendment assumes the President is in his right mind and has the ability to appraise the situation. However, #4 addresses unexpected situations.
 
What would you suggest "we the people" do to stop the fiasco?

The separation of government is probably better demarcated by certain sections of the law, and then those partitions are subdivided into the familiar three branches. Although there are many sections of the law, there are just a handful of sections that are significant to the balance of government powers, and all of the other sections fall under those in an orderly formulation to fulfill the missions of the partition.

Each partition will have its three processes for governing the jurisdiction of power; judicial supervision, legislative assembly, and a security department. The formulation of each partition with its own security department provides for a direct law enforcement check on the other partitions of power; compared to the dubious and always disappointing bipartisan committees and independent investigations that have to be specifically commissioned to accommodate the various errors in the subsisting Congress that leads to the faulty duopoly.

The belief that the political party that is causing all of the problems is going to reach political enlightenment, or it will be irrefutably proven to be dishonest, and so, they cease their opposition to progress, and then all will be good, are illusions derived from the accurate aspects of the three-branch government, but nullified by the unidentified, or otherwise, adverse aspects. The evolution of what has gone wrong is not as easy to follow as the legends of what has gone right, but ultimately, it is a very safe bet that none of the subsisting political parties are prepared to be the benevolent oligarchy to guide posterity to the American Dream.

This “political big bang,” everyone is anticipating is an illusion, because the root of the problems still remains; we do not know how to organize the deliberation of social issues, otherwise, we would not be contemplating the defeat of what are peaceful political factions. The “big bang” along with all of the government reform ideas that are circulating, these ideas are not what a reliable social system should lead its citizens to contemplate without reasoned closure. The process to domestic tranquility has to have a law and order approach, because that is the only process we know that can be secured and controlled by human reason.

The path to tranquility will probably have enlightening effects, lots of social pleasantries, and hints of harmony. Whereas, the fancy Ivy League political scientists and law scholars are persistently describing dissatisfaction with the government, perpetual scandals and corruption, domestic terrorism, political coups, and the possibility of civil war. We are enduring hysterical protests, and increased social disorderliness, and there are very few activities in American society that suggest that we are accurately guiding the approach to domestic tranquility.

I started to read you thinking you were going to have some historical background --- BUT NONE
Woodrow Wilson proved beyond a doubt that this is ALL a DEAD LETTER
