Dozens of House Democrats Want Biden To Give Up Authority on Nukes
Odd that Democrats are seeking to limit the power of their own president. I wonder why they would do that?
Do they have concerns about President Biden’s ability to do his job, for some reason? I haven’t seen anything on CNN or in The New York Times that might suggest that he is compromised in any way. The Democrat Congressprimates didn’t offer any specific concerns about President Biden. Why are they trying to limit his powers as Commander in Chief?
How odd…

I think they are looking to the USSR for inspiration.
Politburo of the Central Committee.
I think after Stalin the General Secretary of the USSR had to make every major decision with Politburo consent.
I don’t know who the “real” President is – I’m inclined to think it’s a matter of who out of Obama / Kamala / Xi Jinping / Various Democrat bigwigs has the upper hand at any given time. Not a very nice thought. I doubt if Biden knows what day of the week it is most of the time.
All joking about AOC aside, I think Susan Rice has a lot more influence than we realize.
25th Amendment-lite.
What I find particularly fascinating is that in the entire four years of the Trump administration during which POTUS was accused of being a Russian stooge, etc., no one suggested anything approaching this. It definitely says something about Biden’s perceived mental capacity. Somehow, I am not feeling particularly assured. This borders on the surreal.
Forget it Eugene, its Clown World.
I admire your cynicism ( insufficient as it may be 😊)
This is madness.
Let’s get a Lawyer, the Attorney General involved. The legal system is perfect for a fast moving crisis.
Let’s get a congressional committee involved. They make such swift decisions.
Let’s require a Declaration of War, something we haven’t bothered with since WW2.
This is just a backdoor attempt to remove our nuclear arsenal without bothering to actual disarm.
Who does this help the most? I think Xi is ultimately behind this. But what do I know.
Ted Lieu. He’s a real winner.
He’s such a dope. Here is one favorite example, and it shows was an idiot Nadler is too.
They picked him and elected him, more or less, so let them live with him for four years.
If only the rest of us didn’t have to live with it too.
The 25th Amendment: coming soon to a presidency near you!
Republicans should make them live with him as the figurehead. We all know Harris is running things.
I don’t think Harris is that smart. She wouldn’t be anywhere without Willie Brown and his brown willy.
I don’t know that. I think it more likely that we are seeing something more akin to “president by committee” — but of course, I don’t know that either.
President by a committee composed of the Obama Administration apparatchiks who couldn’t land a real gig in four years.
Isn’t it a shame that we are all debating who is in control of the US government?
I think that many people voted for Biden with the hope that there would be no more “chaos” in our government. OK, Folks. How is that working out for you?
For some reason, seeing that letter reminds me of Ted Kennedy’s letter to the Soviets back during the Reagan Administration when he actually offered to undercut the President of the United States…
Obama is the one really running the show.
Hey, did you hear about the Progressive Trailer company? They have three models:
The Andrew Cuomo: It’s a single-wide because he’s unmarried.
The Stacey Abrams: It’s a double-wide because she’s . . . well, she’s fat.
The Kamala Harris: It’s a spread-wide . . .
The administrative state is in control. It doesn’t matter whether Biden is a charismatic, genius administrator or a doddering idiot; they run things to suit their own self-interest, and he isn’t going to change that.
