Of course it won’t pass but with concrete evidence Biden is senile we can’t let this story get buried. We need hearing and non stop coverage to let voters know what Biden’s own DOJ has stated.

There's quite the obstacle for doing this:
quote:

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 [sic][note 2][7] 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.

It don't take the text of the 25th to mean that Section 4 can be initiated by Congress.

ETA: Any downvoters want to actually weigh in on the issue?

They should.

If they don't do it now, they never will. It couldn't be a more important time to reign in his mental inadequacies.

That way we can deal with Kamala's.

25th amendment is appropriate and Brandon needs mental testing to be responsible with nuclear code which could end this world.

Anyone objecting to this is a POS Marxist treasonous citizen.

What would change?

All this does is confirm what we all already knew: Joe is a face. He isn’t running shite.

As bad as Kamala will be she needs to take over this circus.

Keeping Biden in office will just invite more aggressive action by our adversaries .

It's completely out in the open now and can't be denied. The survival of the country depends on them acting quickly.

This is a win no matter what the Republicans do. The Democrats are already pushing snippets of an interview Biden did around the time of the special council talks.

The more they try to defend him on this, the more everyone is talking about his senility.

How can the House initiate 25th Amendment proceedings?

It won’t be buried. This was a planned step behind the strategy to take Biden off the ticket.

Maybe it would help flesh out who is.

The situation we are in as a nation is bizarre beyond anything I ever imagined. The fact that the Republican Congress does basically squat to try to shine a light on it just further bolsters that idea.

I don’t think you understand how the 25th works.

Besides, we want Biden as the candidate.

I agree with this idea completely. Any public Dem hand-wringing over this item is staged theatre.

This was released with purpose, not by mistake.

Can you imagine the clown show if Kamala becomes the acting president.

Yep, that's why all those running against him were told to get out of the way, Obama was running for his third term and was going to do things through Joe, and try to take a huge leap to finish fundamentally changing America.
