Republicans Rick Scott, Marjorie Taylor Greene call for Biden’s Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office over classified files probe claiming he already had ‘diminished faculties’ eight years ago

Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida says it’s time to remove President Biden from office using the 25th Amendment after a scathing Justice Department report detailed the severity of Joe’s mental decline.

The Justice Department on Thursday released its long-awaited investigation into Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, delivering a scathing assessment of the president’s “diminished capabilities” and limited memory.

Despite finding no wrongdoing by Biden, special counsel Robert Hur described Biden as “a likeable, well-meaning, older man with a poor memory,” and that “it would be difficult to convince a jury to convict him.”

The 25th Amendment, which outlines presidential succession, gives the vice president and the Cabinet the power to remove the commander in chief from office through a majority vote if it is determined that he or she is no longer fit for office. It has never been invoked in American history.

Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida said it is time to invoke the 25th Amendment against President Joe Biden.

“That does not describe someone who should be the commander in chief of our armed forces and the defender of American freedoms,” Scott said. wrote on X in response to the report. “It’s time for his administration to invoke the 25th Amendment.”

Scott was the first top elected official to call for using the Constitution to impeach the president. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., also called for using the 25th Amendment to impeach Biden.

Hur wrote that Biden is unlikely to be convicted by a jury because he comes across as “a likable, well-meaning, older man with a bad memory.”

In addition to the classified documents discovered in Biden’s Wilmington home, investigators also discovered classified documents stored in his Washington, DC office.

“The Special Counsel’s report showing that Joe Biden’s mental decline is so severe that he cannot stand trial means he is unfit for office,” she wrote on X.

“We must demand that the 25th Amendment be invoked or face impeachment,” the GOP continued.

Another House Republican, Mary Miller of Illinois, similarly called on Biden’s administration to take action.

“For the security of our nation, Joe Biden must resign. He couldn’t remember basic facts about his life,” she says posted on X. “He is not qualified to remain as commander in chief and every day he stays he puts America at risk.”

“If he doesn’t want to resign, the government should invoke the 25th Amendment.”

Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri also chimed in: write on X that it’s “time for the 25th Amendment.”

Former President Trump, meanwhile, is facing a 40-count indictment over his handling of classified documents at his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges in June.

Trump faces decades in prison if convicted, and special prosecutor Jack Smith – the lead prosecutor in the case – recently interviewed additional witnesses to strengthen his case against the former president.

The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee posted on X that the decision was a ‘double standard’.

“Special Counsel Robert Hur recommends no criminal charges against President Biden in classified documents case. “Despite Hur’s acknowledgment that Biden deliberately retained and disclosed classified material after his vice presidency when he was still a private citizen,” the committee wrote.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, also rejected Hur’s recommendation.

“There is clearly a two-tiered justice system within Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice,” he wrote.

“President Biden has deliberately hoarded classified information from his decades in the Senate and his time as vice president, but Special Counsel Robert Hur has decided not to recommend charges against him.”

Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin of Missouri wrote on

“Meanwhile, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home was raided by the FBI and he’s facing an armed DOJ. A clear legal system with two levels.’

Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on X: “If Joe Biden is not mentally fit to stand trial, then he is certainly not mentally fit to be President of the United States. It’s time to do something about it.’

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote: “Today’s report from Robert Hur tells us two things: There is a double standard of justice in this country. And Joe Biden is not fit for office.”

Even Trump’s political rival, Nikki Haley, said the double standard between Biden and Trump’s cases was “glaring.”

“Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump were reckless with classified documents,” the presidential hopeful wrote.

“If Biden defends old age and forgetfulness, Trump can easily make the same claim. Trump needs to hire Biden’s lawyers quickly.”
