Moments later, Senile Joe gave the lie to his own angry statement, calling Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi "the president of Mexico" while discussing aid for Gaza. Yes, we (along with every media outlet in the world) have the video.
The octogenarian President made the fresh gaffe after avoiding prosecution for mishandling classified documents. The special prosecutor, Rober Hur, said Brnadon was an "elderly man with a poor memory", whom no jury would convict. Case closed!
Walt says it's time to stop flogging the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the Excited States of America, and invoke the 25th. Proposed by Congress and ratified by the states in the aftermath of the assassination of JFK, that amendment provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation.
Unlike the 14th Amendment, the 25th has actually been used within recent memory. The Watergate scandal of the `70s saw the application of these procedures, first when Gerald Ford replaced Spiro Agnew as vice president, then when he replaced Richard Nixon as president, and then when Nelson Rockefeller filled the resulting vacancy to become the vice president.
The only drawback I can see in applying the 25th Amendment in this case is that Camela Harris would become President. But hey, it would all be over in a few months!
