A Texas congressman found President Joe Biden’s debate performance this week so troubling that he is calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to oust the commander-in-chief.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Biden’s performance sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party, prompting speculation that the elderly president may step aside to allow a more vigorous candidate to emerge out of the party’s convention in August.
Legacy media also found itself in hysterics following the debate, with The New York Times editorial board going so far as to publish an op-ed calling on Biden to do just that.
“The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant. He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump’s provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence,” wrote the editorial board.
While those on the left may be considering the political ramifications of the debate’s fallout, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) seems concerned about the president’s current fitness to head the nation’s executive branch. He is calling on the vice president to take action for the sake of the country.
Here is some of what Timothy H.J. Nerozzi reported about this development for Fox News:
The U.S. lawmaker from Texas introduced legislation this week that would urge Vice President Kamala Harris to bring together executives of the executive cabinet and jointly declare Biden unfit to continue as president.
Roy introduced the resolution on Friday “calling on Vice President Kamala D. Harris to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the Cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as Acting President.”
The resolution claims that Biden “has repeatedly and publicly demonstrated his inability to discharge the powers and duties of the Presidency, including, among others, the powers and duties of the Commander-in-Chief.”
Section 4 of the 25th Amendment authorizes the vice president and a majority of the executive cabinet to make the decision whether the president is fit to continue in office or not.
Biden has faced severe backlash following a disastrous debate performance on Thursday in which the president was seen visibly confused, mouth agape, and frequently unable to complete sentences.
