House GOP calls for Biden removal from office over debate performance

Published June 28, 2024 2:50pm ET



House Republicans are calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office and take over as acting president following his poor debate performance on Thursday night.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) filed a resolution on Friday that would compel Harris to convene the president’s Cabinet and activate Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare Biden “incapable of executing the duties of his office.” In doing so, Harris would then succeed Biden as acting president.
