The resolution urges Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment, declaring President Joe Biden unfit for office. This move, which some critics are labeling as the "dumbest thing" to do, is seen as an attempt to rescue the Democratic party from a perceived leadership crisis.
According to Gateway Pundit, the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project had previously noted that removing Biden from the Democratic ticket in three swing states – Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin – would effectively block any replacement. The laws in these states make it nearly impossible to withdraw a nominee from the ballot, unless the candidate dies or is declared mentally incompetent.

In Wisconsin, a candidate cannot withdraw from the ballot for any reason other than death. Nevada's laws prohibit any changes to the ballot after 5 p.m. on the fourth Friday in June of an election year unless ‘a nominee dies or is adjudicated insane or mentally incompetent.’ In Georgia, if Biden were to withdraw less than 60 days before the election, his name would remain on the ballot, but no votes would be counted.

Despite these legal complexities, Rep. Roy seems determined to use the 25th Amendment as a tool to declare President Biden unable to perform his duties. He stated, “I intend to put forth a resolution calling upon the VP to immediately use her powers under section 4 of the 25th Amendment to convene & mobilize the principal officers of the Cabinet to declare the POTUS is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office.”

His press office further clarified his intentions, stating, “Rep. Roy files resolution to urge VP Harris to convene the Cabinet and declare President Biden unable to carry out his duties as Commander-in-Chief.” The resolution calls on Vice President Kamala D. Harris to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the Cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment, declaring President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office.

This unexpected move by Roy is seen as a strategic error that could potentially fracture the Republican front, providing Democrats with an unexpected lifeline during a time of vulnerability.
Social media users have also weighed in on the matter, recalling how former President Trump criticized Rep. Roy after he endorsed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Roy's endorsement was shared on social media, where he lauded DeSantis as “a proven winner” and a bulwark against tyranny, stating, “I’m proud to stand alongside my friend.”

In response, Trump wrote last year, “Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the Primary against RINO Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!”
As the political landscape continues to shift, it remains to be seen how this resolution and the ensuing reactions will impact the Republican party and its strategies moving forward.
