The Biden Presidency 2021

Biden and Harris Unfavorable Ratings Worse than Trump’s

'Biden’s approval rating now down to 37.8 percent in the latest USA Today/Suffolk University poll."

Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned; two days later President Richard Nixon nominated Representative Gerald Ford to replace Agnew as new vice president pursuant to Section 2. Ford was confirmed by the Senate and the House on November 27 and December 6 respectively, and sworn in December 6.

this page also details how Biden could be removed by constitutional process. It says nothing I found about removing the VP. In history they have died, resigned, or created a vacancy after replacing the President. The office has sometimes been vacant for considerable periods of time. I can't find anything about removing her if she won't resign. Everybody can be impeached I guess.

She'll resign, it was part of the deal she made when she accepted the role. She knows she's only there as a figurehead until she's replaced and that's exactly what she acts like. She's not trying to do her job, she couldn't care less. She doesn't even get security briefings everyday, if at all. Does anybody think it's an accident that Hillary publicly read her acceptance speech for president? It's coming.. It's going to be her again against Trump in to 2024. The thing they had not planned on was that she would be inheriting the absolute worst president in history's legacy. The stink of it will follow her right into the next election because she won't be able to clean this up.

You are deluded if you think Hillary will run and be elected.

She's as toxic as the orange oaf.

No, time for some new blood...

U.S. inflation rate swells to 39-year high of 6.8% as Americans pay higher prices for almost everything

There are two CPI’s. The CPI-W for wage earners, and the CPI-E which is designed to reflect the purchasing habits of those 62 and older. Not this year, but most years, the CPI-E is slightly higher than the CPI-W.

Oracle killed it today

Everyone (except EB and now apparently Tanko) has known this since 11/9/2016.

Them bringing up Hillary again *might be* another sign things aren’t going quite as horribly for the Biden admin as the right-wing media wants you to believe.

No need for Hillary to campaign for 2024. Biden already proved that. Give weekly ten minute bumper slogan speeches from her basement and hold monthly ‘rallies’ attended by nine people. Six of them being the camera crew. Pretty easy.

Either that, or get left wing media, to start a campaign to discredit Harris, so Hillary could pull a Gerald Ford and back door into the VP spot.

"Harris staff exodus reignites questions about her leadership style" -WAPO

"Has Kamala Harris been sidelined?" -WAPO

"But still, should someone who travels with the nuclear football be spending time untangling her headphone wires? The American people deserve answers!" - Politico

Despite polling lower than the Taliban, Harris was brought in after polls showed some Black voters were thinking of straying off the plantation. Her work is done.

The Constitution of the United States gives Congress the authority to remove the vice president of the United States from office in two separate proceedings. The first one takes place in the House of Representatives, which impeaches the vice president by approving articles of impeachment through a simple majority vote. The second proceeding, the impeachment trial, takes place in the Senate. There, conviction on any of the articles requires a two-thirds majority vote and would result in the removal from office (if currently sitting), and possible debarment from holding future office.

I doubt being unpopular would be enough of a reason to get two-thirds majority vote in the Senate.

It is amazing how many times the VP office has become vacant. Everyone knows the office of POTUS has become vacant 9 times; 4 assasinations, 4 natural deaths, and 1 resignation. So there is an accompanying VP vacancy.

But seven VPs have died in office, just not in the last century. Two have resigned, although John Calhoun resigned on December 28, 1832 to become a Senator again. His term would have expired on March 4, 1833 anyway.

The BLS announced that starting next month, it is changing the way it measures the CPI. This is done to make it appear inflation is less than it actually is. Biden will take the credit, and the head of the BLS will keep his job. People will be none the wiser, Using the same methodology as they did in the eighties, the current rate of inflation would be a little over 15%. If they used the same methodology they used in the nineties, inflation would be 10.4%.
