What if Biden does not bow out?

Thanks so much to all the careless people that voted for Trump and Biden during the 2024 primaries. Smart people you are. Really.

I am so sick of the Biden is senile hysteria. An aging Biden is far preferable to a bat$H!t malevolent narcissist who rambles weirdly every time he opens his mouth (or types out an ALL CAPS rant on social media).

+1. I am going to write in a candidate if there’s no viable Democrat on the ticket. One is too far aged, the other does not seem ethical.

Thank you for forcing us to have to make that careless decision by carelessly not running yourself and giving us a better candidate.

Thank you for not organizing a nationwide protest against both Trump and Biden, your inaction has cost us everything.

I hope you’re trolling. Vote for Biden and trust that there will be good people in place to make sure this country runs well. The president is just the manager. I have zero confidence that Trump or anyone who would work for him has the best interest of the American people at heart.

I think this is a fact that’s lost on alot of people. The President is not really a decision maker who acts on his own. He is someone who appoints the best experts in their fields to positions and brings in the best advisors to help him make decisions.

Regardless of how things end up with President Biden’s health, trust in the experts this administration has to make the right decisions for America.

The power of the Executive Branch is vested in the President of the United States, who also acts as head of state and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President is responsible for implementing and enforcing the laws written by Congress and, to that end, appoints the heads of the Federal agencies, including the Cabinet.

The President is both the head of state and head of government of the United States of America, as well as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces.

Under Article II of the Constitution, the President is responsible for the execution and enforcement of laws created by Congress.


The President has the power either to sign legislation into law or to veto bills passed by Congress, although Congress may override a veto with a two-thirds vote of both houses. The Executive Branch conducts diplomacy with other nations, and the President has the power to negotiate and sign treaties, which must be ratified by two-thirds of the Senate. The President can issue executive orders, which direct executive officers or clarify and help implement existing laws. The President also has unlimited power to extend pardons and clemencies for federal crimes, except in cases of impeachment.

With these powers come several responsibilities, among them a constitutional requirement to “from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.”


The Founders refrained from making the Presidency a facsimile of the British monarchy. Instead, they created an executive who had to be both responsive and accountable to the citizenry and balanced against the other two branches of government in terms of its powers and limitations.

The twentieth century brought about what has been called the “modern American Presidency.” World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, and the Cold War all led to a much larger institution of the Presidency to cope with the nation’s new superpower status. Especially following the activist approach that President Franklin Roosevelt took in fighting the Depression and World War II, it was no longer enough for subsequent Presidents merely to preside over the nation’s fortunes. Instead, they needed to actively direct. They had to be, to paraphrase Harry Truman, the lobbyist for the entire nation. A more active Presidency — the expectation that the President must be both a national and international leader — led to such presidential initiatives as Dwight Eisenhower’s request for an interstate highway system, John Kennedy’s call for greater space exploration, the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel initiated by Jimmy Carter, and the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces agreement signed by Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

Today, the President takes on a variety of roles that reflect the increased powers and prestige of the office. As a legislative leader, the President is oftentimes the key figure in what bills get passed. It is now taken for granted that the White House will craft and promote its own legislative agenda and that the State of the Union address will be used not only to report on the national situation, but also to present to Congress the President’s legislative wish list. A major component of a President’s legacy is derived from his success in Congress, with our most successful chief executives inextricably linked with major legislative achievements: Franklin Roosevelt and Social Security, Lyndon Johnson and civil rights, Ronald Reagan and tax cuts, as well as George W. Bush and No Child Left Behind.

As the Commander in Chief of American Armed Forces, the President today has a vast amount of power at his disposal; manifested in large military budgets, the presence of American forces worldwide, the creation of intelligence-gathering organizations, and in the infamous briefcase with the codes used in the event of nuclear war. This Presidential role has provoked much debate. World War II and the 1991 Persian Gulf War enjoyed widespread public support, but the Korean and Vietnam Wars proved far more controversial. Especially in the aftermath of the latter conflict, Congress and the public have been more willing to question how much prerogative Presidents should be accorded in foreign and military policy.

Part of what makes the Presidency such a potentially effective force for action today is the much greater visibility the occupant of the White House commands. Presidents travel to a much greater extent and appear before the American people to sell their message more frequently today than ever before. Using what Theodore Roosevelt termed the “bully pulpit,” especially through the use of radio, television, and now the internet and social media, the President can make direct appeals to the nation. Indeed, people now expect the chief executive to maintain regular communication with them, to persuade and even inspire. Among the more notable examples of Presidential rhetoric are Abraham Lincoln and his Gettysburg Address; Franklin Roosevelt’s declaration that, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself;” and John F. Kennedy’s exhortation to “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”

I'm fine with Biden not bowing out. I'm voting to continue democracy, not for a specific politician. Harris is fine, if Biden eventually becomes ill. The remaining GOP leaders are all bat crap crazy at this point.

Yeah, they aren’t as sane and mentally healthy as Biden’s son, Hunter, who currently is advising our president.

If the GOP had some sane people, like Hunter, attending meetings and helping run the executive branch of government, we could put a small amount of trust in them. But they don’t, only the democrats have crack addict expertise working for America. Hunter is saving democracy.

No cabinet official went on the Sunday shows to voice support for Biden. It's just a matter of time before he is forced to pull out, the culmination of the planned effort to sideline him.

Tell me you don’t know how our government works without telling me you don’t know how our government works.
Trump is no longer our current president. Historians are already rewriting 2016-2020 for the next generations. The most profound thus far reflects the ever-present, horrific lies. ”Presidential historians search for clues to the character of American Presidents. Future historians will find nothing that illuminates the depravity of Donald Trump more vividly than his lie that he lost hundreds of friends on 9 11. A lie so vile that even Donald Trump is afraid to repeat it.

April 2024– “15 historians filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in Trump v. United States rejecting the former president’s claim of immunity from criminal prosecution. They find that accountability under the law has been a defining principle of the American presidency since its origins.

When designing the presidency, the founders wanted no part of the immunity from criminal prosecution claimed by English king. That immunity was at the heart of what they saw as a flawed system. On both the state and national level, they wrote constitutions that held all leaders, including presidents, accountable to the laws of the country. St. George Tucker, one of the most prominent judges in the new nation, laid out the principle clearly: everyone is equally bound by the law, from beggars in the streets to presidents.

The founders argued over many things, but they uniformly agreed that the president wasn’t supposed to be a king.

In their brief, the historians show that Trump’s alleged crimes are an especially egregious violation of principles that are foundational to American democracy. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/15-historians-file-amicus-brief-trump-v-us-debunking-immunity-claim

Growing pressure will force Biden to end his campaign. His stubbornness will make the transition to a new candidate unpleasant and rocky. Party operatives will fight for power. The country will lose.
