Summary of Bill HRES 1373
Bill 118 HRES 1373 is a resolution calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to gather the top officials of the executive departments in the Cabinet to invoke section 4 of the 25th Amendment. This section allows for the removal of a President if they are deemed unfit to carry out their duties. The resolution specifically targets President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., suggesting that he is incapable of fulfilling his role as President.
If this resolution were to be enacted, Vice President Harris would assume the powers of acting President until President Biden is deemed fit to resume his duties. The resolution does not specify the reasons for President Biden's alleged incapacity, but it is clear that the sponsors of the bill believe that his ability to lead the country is in question.
This resolution is a significant and controversial move, as invoking the 25th Amendment is a rare and serious step in American politics. It would require a majority vote from the Cabinet officials and Vice President Harris to remove President Biden from office. The resolution does not guarantee that this action will be taken, but it puts pressure on Vice President Harris to consider the possibility of assuming the role of acting President.
