I believe in many Democratic Principles, yet today’s Democratic National Committee is not about leading the country into the future – it is more about degrading others with hatred and socialist leanings.
While I admit there are few choices when it comes to electing our political leadership, and sometimes it is a choice between two evils, we must be conscious of where we are being led.
We see elected Congressional members, who were voted into office with less than 150,000 votes, in districts that were created specifically to ensure there is minority representation. We see these individuals using their pulpit to espouse massive programs that would radically change the United States from a States Rights and Representative Country into a Central Controlling Authority mandating to the masses.
Example – just because California has 40 million (mostly legalized citizens) doesn’t mean Citizens of California should be telling people in other States how to live and conduct business. This is why our Founding Fathers created a separation of power to ensure the “United States” may retain States Rights.
So, the DNC has decided to interpret the US Constitution and the 25th Amendment for their fear tactics. Pelosi and Jaime Raskin – who is seemingly a very intelligent person, Harvard educated, raised by parents who worked in politics and journalism, he is also Jewish if that matters to anyone – have introduced a bill to force the creation of a committee to review a sitting President’s ability to carry out their duties.
Of course, what you won’t read – they can propose creating a committee – but the decision on the fitness of a Sitting US President – according to the 25th Amendment – is up to the Vice President. (Sorry Representative Raskin, I know you have a Harvard Law degree – but you are NOT the supreme court which interprets the constitution.)
Below is the XXV Amendment to the Constitution. If you read this – it requires the Vice President, AND Executive Leadership (ie. Cabinet members), to state the President is unable to carry out the duties of the President of the US. If a “committee” is created by Congress – it would require both the Senate and House approval with the President signing it into law.
Next, to remove the President from Office, it would require the VP, Cabinet Members, the new “Committee” to declare the President is unable to perform – then to process it would require 2/3 vote of both the House and Senate.
If the President were incapacitated – the VP and Cabinet would make the change – but an outside Committee “cannot” do this on their own.
AMENDMENT XXV
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.
