Throughout the presidential campaign, Joe Biden’s mental lapses and misspeaks lead many to question his mental acuity and overall fitness to serve as the Commander in Chief.
In spite of Joe’s campaign strategy of not campaigning but instead sitting in his basement in Delaware, “President” Joe Biden won the election and is already being undermined by Democrats.
They want to replace Biden with the unlikable Kamala Harris, who in spite of many shortcomings, does not have severe cognitive impairments.
Politico tweeted out that three dozen House Democrats have signed a letter urging for the nuclear codes to be removed from Biden, requesting the struggling Commander-in-Chief voluntarily give up the sole power to order the use of nuclear weapons.
In their letter, they did not want to use Joe’s mental issues as justification for their request but instead framed their petition as a step in preventing another President, like Trump, from possessing the sole power.
One solution they put forward was to add the VP and Speaker to the decision process.
This is in spite of the fact that an instant decision might be required leaving no time to seek counsel, and this power has been in place since the creation of the most powerful weapons on the face of the Earth first used in the 1040s.
The irony of their argument is former President Trump actually did not send the US into any new wars but instead pulled our troops out of many different conflicts.
Nearly three dozen House Democrats on Monday called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch nuclear weapons, in the latest appeal to reform the command-and-control structure so that no single person can initiate a nuclear war https://t.co/AOIHaYf1b4 pic.twitter.com/OSKJ64d3cW

Video overview of the story
The plain truth is not many people want a 78-year-old, struggling with memory issues, to have the sole power to order the disbursement of our nuclear arsenal, but as for me, I don’t want the power diminished, but instead would prefer they replace the man who should have not been the Commander In Chief in the first place.
