A recent survey highlights doubts on President Biden's mental capabilities, sparking discussions and calls for invoking the 25th Amendment.

A recent survey has shed light on growing doubts among registered voters regarding President Joe Biden's mental and cognitive capabilities. The survey revealed that a significant majority, 72%, question Biden's ability to effectively lead the country. These concerns have intensified following a live presidential debate, sparking discussions about his fitness for office as the upcoming elections draw near.

Within the Democratic party itself, 45% of members believe Biden should consider stepping down from the presidential race due to health-related worries. In contrast, opinions on former President Donald Trump's mental fitness were more evenly divided, with 50% in favor and 49% against.

The recent live debate between Biden and Trump failed to decisively address concerns about Biden's age and suitability for a potential second term. Criticism of Biden's performance during the debate has only served to amplify doubts about his capabilities.

In response to mounting pressure for Biden to withdraw, Texas Republican representative Chip Roy has introduced a resolution urging Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution. The resolution points to Biden's alleged inability to fulfill his presidential duties, including those of the Commander-in-Chief.

The 25th Amendment provides a mechanism for the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president unfit to carry out their responsibilities, thereby allowing the vice president to assume the role of acting president.

The growing concerns surrounding President Biden's mental fitness have become a focal point of discussions within political circles. As the debate continues, the implications of invoking the 25th Amendment and the potential impact on the current administration remain subjects of intense scrutiny.
