A lot of people have resting Twenty-fifth Amendment face. The Constitution allows a President who is 'unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office' to step aside or be removed and have the Vice-President 'immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.'
Now is really a good time for Democratic leaders to dust off their knowledge of the Amendment-this time regarding their own party's President. The widespread anxieties about Biden's age-related impairment have increased over time, only to be shushed by his allies.
Prominent Democrats have yet to say the obvious and instead have told voters not to worry about one bad debate. This is a poignant national version of the denial that almost every family eventually goes through with respect to an aging patriarch or matriarch. This is clearly happening in Biden's own family.
