Chip Roy, R-Texas, plans to bring up options under the 25th Amendment in terms of President Biden’s fitness during a meeting with House Republicans on Tuesday.Roy told Fox News he believes Republicans need to have a position on where they stand regarding Biden’s competence.Section 4 of the 25th Amendment provides a series of steps for removing a president from office if he or she becomes incapacitated.But a resolution on the 25th Amendment cannot just be presented to the House floor immediately.CRITICS PILE ON BIDEN FOLLOWING ABC INTERVIEW, BLAST HIS REFUSAL TO COMMIT TO COGNITIVE TEST: ‘DISQUALIFYING’The bill would not be “privileged” and go straight to the front of the legislative line because it deals with the executive branch and not Congress.Impeachment, on the other hand, could be considered “privileged” because those powers are enumerated in the Constitution as being under the purview of Congress.PRESIDENT BIDEN FACES THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL WEEKEND OF HIS POLITICAL CAREERAny resolution on the 25th Amendment would need to go through committee first, a senior House Republican leadership source told Fox.Roy’s plan comes a week-and-a-half after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., spoke about the cabinet weighing in on the 25th Amendment regarding Biden.
