Higgins, Roy File Resolution to Invoke 25th Amendment on President Biden

Jul 3, 2024| Press Releases

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) and Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) filed a resolution that calls on Vice President Kamala Harris to immediately invoke her power in the 25^th amendment to convene the executive Cabinet and declare President Biden as unfit to carry out his duty as Commander-in-Chief.

Ratified in 1967, the 25^th Amendment requires the vice president and the principal officers of the executive departments to notify the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House through a written declaration that the President of the United States is unfit to serve. Once declared, this enables the vice president to become the acting president.

"Over the past 3 years, it has become painfully clear that our inaugurated President has slipped into a rapid decline. As a Christian principled nation, We the People must revere our elders and shelter them from unnecessary struggle and anguish. The 25th Amendment allows America to respond to this moment of crisis by gently removing President Biden from the world's most powerful elected position. It's the right thing to do, the Christian thing to do," said Congressman Higgins.

"I put forth a resolution calling upon the Vice President to immediately use her powers under section 4 of the 25^th Amendment to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the Cabinet to declare the President of the United States is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office," said Congressman Roy.
