Biden must be removed – state attorney general — RT World News

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey called on US Vice President Kamala Harris to declare Joe Biden physically unable to perform his duties as president. The request was made in a letter sent to Harris on Tuesday.

Last week, a report by US Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Hoare described the 81-year-old president as a man “An old man with a weak memory” Although he advised against prosecuting Biden for mishandling classified documents.

Morrissey has now called on Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment against Biden and assume his role, arguing that the Hoare report “It paints a clear picture of a president who is not qualified for this position.” Confirming that he has “Cognitive decline is a major concern for Americans, especially during these times when our nation is experiencing one crisis after another here and abroad.”

“We need a sane president.” The prosecutor wrote, noting that over the past few months alone, Biden has repeatedly conflated world leaders with political figures and appeared to have difficulty talking about key issues.

The Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution, adopted in 1965 after the assassination of President John. Kennedy, clarifies succession in the event of the sudden death or resignation of the American leader, and allows the two vice presidents to assume their responsibilities. Under Article 4 of the amendment, the Vice President and the Cabinet are also permitted to dismiss the President if he is deemed physically unable to perform his duties but refuses to leave office. This power has not been used yet.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal published on Monday, Harris said she was “Ready to serve” And replace Biden if necessary, adding that she does not need to convince anyone of her ability to lead the country. A recent NBC poll found that only 28% of registered voters have a favorable opinion of Harris, compared to 53% who have an unfavorable view.

Biden has strongly denied concerns about his mental and physical health, and issued an angry rebuke of Hoare's description of him. “I'm an old man and I know what I'm doing.” Biden insisted in a press conference last week. Shortly thereafter, during the same conference, he confused Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi with the Mexican leader.

The president's age has become a major concern among voters ahead of this year's presidential elections. According to an ABC News/Ipsos poll released Monday, as many as 86% of American voters believe Biden is too old to serve another term in office.
