25th amendmenters?
« on: January 09, 2011, 09:45:50 AM »
Okay so I saw some people holding up a huge sign the other day. "Invoke the 25th Amendment" and "Stop Obama".
So is this just a small local fringe group, or is there some kind of 25thers movement? 

Of course, I'll tell them what I tell the birthers.  The two scariest words you'll ever hear.

President Biden.

Sounds like they are talking about section 4 of the 25th. Essentially it's when the veep and the cabinet get together and tell the Senate pro tempore and the speaker of the house that the Pres can't do the job for whatever reason and then the veep takes it over. There's a bit more to it including the pres saying he can do his job, the veep saying again he can't, and the senate and house getting together to vote on if the pres is competent to do the job or not blah dee blah blah.

Personally I'd think they'd have an easier time getting congress to impeach him rather than getting Biden and the cabinet to try to oust him. *shrug*

By the way, does anyone else think all that Biden is missing is a black hooded robe to look like Emperor Palpatine?  :P

IDK if Biden is smart enough to wish he was as smart as Palpatine :lol: :P
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

President Biden.


President Biden is an excellent thing: he has zero charisma and can't ever be re-elected.
