Rep. Chip Roy Introduces Resolution Urging VP Harris To Invoke 25Th Amendment

Chip Roy in formal suit

Rep. Chip Roy from Texas has introduced legislation this week that aims to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Biden from office. The resolution calls on Vice President Kamala Harris to gather the executive cabinet members to declare Biden unfit to continue as president. This move is based on claims that Biden has shown an inability to fulfill his presidential duties, particularly as Commander-in-Chief.

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the executive cabinet to determine the president's fitness for office. The push for invoking this amendment comes after Biden's recent debate performance, where he appeared confused, tired, and unfocused, leading to criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.

While some Democrats have considered the possibility of replacing Biden as the party's nominee, such a move would likely result in legal challenges, voter confusion, and the need for a new candidate to step in at the last minute.

Republicans have viewed this situation as validation of their concerns about Biden's mental acuity, which they claim have been dismissed by the mainstream media and political insiders in the past.
