Goodbye, Unkle Joe, You Spent Grifter!: We now know that Uncle Joe Biden is in steep cognitive decline. Worse, we've entered a period of profound international crises, in which no sane person can deny Biden's diminished capacity has harmed his decisions and speech. In other words, before Joe starts WW3 with another off-the-cuff remark, like about Putin: "For God's sake, this man cannot remain in power," he must be removed. Whether this occurs in a day, week or month, Joe has to leave sooner, rather than later. And, it may take invoking the 25th Amendment.
Kamala Harris, Failure Artist: This would then put Kamala Harris, perhaps the least serious person ever to occupy the US Vice Presidency, into the Oval Office, aka World's Most Powerful Person. And sadly -- believe it, or not, Harris may be the single least qualified person in the US who theoretically could lead America -- outside of McLean Hospital mental asylum. See Gracefully Insane: The Rise and Fall of America's Premier Mental Hospital.
Hated Kam! This explains Kamala's approval loitering in the 30th percentile, while losing her 12th close aid, since entering office. This means Democrats cannot afford to let Harris serve as POTUS, in the interest of self preservation, and national security -- should they still consider that for their positions.
Harris Remover: So what to do with Kursed Kamala? Well, she must be removed co-extensively with Biden, somehow. Kamala would either agree to resign for some plum position, or be informed she would be impeached, and the votes were already counted. Hard realities for a Party that act like they can steal or finagle their way to every victory and that no one will notice, or have the temerity to resist. Offer Harris a plumb job -- Ambassador of India, to impress her Indian Mother, etc.
Payback is a Witch! A number of GOP politicians have already stated they will seek Harris' removal when the party reclaims power. See "Day After Trump Acquittal "Impeach Harris" Trends On Twitter" & "Sen. Graham says Kamala Harris could be impeached if GOP takes over the House" & "Vernon Jones Says He'll Impeach Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Day One if Elected".

Nasty Nancy: Now, a problem arises with Nancy Pelosi, trying to pop up into the Oval Office like an ancient primordial rat exiting a petrified woodpile, clawing and chattering her way into the presidency. So what would stop this? First, Nancy should receive an immediateSpecial Counsel for insider trading when the GOP regains power, telegraphed ahead of time. Resign or get convicted, SF carpetbagger! Well, in this idealized, cinematic version of events, the removal of Joe & Kamala would occur before the November election.
Pullulating Pelosi: Nancy, in her dismissive, self-righteous, rapacious, hallucinating and bombastic manner will insist the Dems will still win in Nov ‘22. And yet, this insensate old marsupial will then be immediately swept out of power by losing the House, due to her spectacularly obtuse leadership. Such examples being despicable fundraising during the Afghan exit crisis, or her outre rubbing her dirty paws together while beaming a satanic smile when "toxic burn pits poisoning soldiers" are mentioned within earshot.
Kevin's End-run: But now comes the next phase. Kevin McCarthy is the coming Speaker of the House, and what if this transition occurs after the election, but before early January 2023? Kevin then has a month plus wait time before entering the Speaker position to then be finally installed into the Oval Office. This would leave the cagy old devil Pelosi time to try and get installed and then make a bunch of executive orders to try and become POTUS permanently. Surreal possibilities, no?
Epilogue. So, charming McCarthy does a backflip into the presidency while the entire world sighs in relief. Sadly, Joe Biden won't care as long as his "Presidential Fruitcup" and "Oval Orifice Ice Cream" stays on schedule. Of course, the next phase is spending several years healing America's manifest Marxist mauling.
Threeway Shootout: Then, if successful, Americans will experience a three-way shootout between Insider McCarthy, Bold "Kid" DeSantis and always Irascible Donald. Much like the famous ending of The Good, Bad, and the Ugly in the riveting cemetery scene. But who would be Eli Wallach, the Ugly. So, while Biden circles the drain on his final journey into the next life, who wins between these big three? Stay tuned, sportsfans!
25TH AMENDMENT Presidential Disability and Succession
Passed by Congress July 6, 1965. Ratified February 10, 1967. The 25th Amendment changed a portion of Article II, Section 1
Section 1 In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Section 2 Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Section 3 Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Section 4 Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
