25th Amendment

"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."

This is an important amendment as it lines out the order of succession if something happens to the president. There can always be an incident, an attack, an accident or an illness even. Therefore it is important to know who will take over and to ensure the citizens that the country still is in good hands so no panic or anarchical circumstances can develop.

"Should the 25th amendment be invoked to remove Obama from office?

November 14th, 2010 3:23 pm ET

A Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas this year created a stir in the political world by insisting during the campaign that the 25 Amendment to the U.S. Constitution should be invoked to remove Obama from office.

Yes, the candidate was a Democrat.  And yes, the candidate was a female African-American by the name of Kesha Rogers.  Yet she made it a centerpiece of her campaign to call for the removal of Obama from office, not by impeachment, which would involve a lengthy process in Congress, but by invoking the 25th, which specifies how a sitting President can be removed immediately based upon the opinion of the Vice-President and Cabinet that he is unable to fulfill the duties of office.

A person may become unfit to serve even if that person is not aware of it.  Emotional illness or emotional breakdown sometimes involves the complete lack of insight into one's own illness.  Thus, there are times when it is entirely possible--and legal--for the VP and a majority of Cabinet members to write the President Pro-Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House stating that the President is unfit to serve and that the Vice-President will become Acting President until such time as the President becomes able to serve once again, or until the next election. 

Rogers is convinced that Obama is unfit to serve and must be removed.  And a growing chorus of top-level Democrats appears to be in agreement.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough stated on a recent 'Morning Joe' segment on the network that he had personally spoken to SEVEN (7) top Democrats in the Senate who are now convinced that 'Obama doesn't know what he's doing.'

In addition, if the information being fed to the journalist known as 'Ulsterman' by a White House insider turns out to be true, then it is clear Obama is exhibiting at the very least signs of gross incompetence at best and at worst a marked detachment from reality and a total disinterest in fulfilling the day-to-day duties of President--all signs of severe emotional distress. 

So severe is the crisis at the White House, according to the insider, that top level Democrats are now scrambling to try to save the Party when the walls come crashing down on Obama.  Unless such a strategy is in place, says the insider, then Obama will take the entire Democratic Party down with him.

But that's not all.

A top Democratic strategist who has the respect of a broad spectum of Democrats is now publicly calling for Obama to announce, immediately, that he will not seek a second term in 2012.  A consensus is building among Democratic operatives that Obama has become such a liability to the Party that in order to prevent a knock-out blow by Republicans in 2012, which would complete the Party's demise that was started on Nov. 2 of this year, Obama must announce very soon that he will not seek reelection.  This would give the Democrats enough time to choose a candidate who could potentially minimize the further damage that is sure to come unless there is a miraculous economic boom.

In short, none of this is good news for Obama and his inner circle of Leftwing extremists.  But it would be good news for the Democrats if they wish to roll back another Republican tsunami in 2012 to a much smaller rip current of losses.

Even that, however, may not be enough to prevent another major shellacking in 2012.  Many of the major players in the Senate who contributed to the current mess in which the country finds itself were not up for reelection this year.  They will most certainly face the music from the voters in 2012."

Ok, this article is just too absurd. Remove the president because he is insane? Sorry, but this idea is insane. This man just tries to save this country whether one likes the methods or not. He has been elected legally by the people of this country.
Of course, Mister Obama is probably in a lot of emotional distress. The country is still in the crisis, the two wars still go on, Guantanamo Bay is not closed yet and the last elections were a mere smack in the face. Still, this does not make a person incapable of exercise his office. Maybe he will come back stronger than before?

A very funny video which makes some funny digs at some politicians. I remember that hunting accident of Mr. Cheney, which happened I think in Minnesota. So in this video he would have accidently shot his successor, pretty black humor here, as well as with Governors of California which points to Mr. Schwarzenegger.
