Did you take into account that he is married, white, has a graduate degree, and is a currently employed high income earner? Sounds like no.
Using this calculator, I am getting a life expectancy of 94 if he works out once a week, and 91 if he rarely exercises:
Some of the needed data is here:
I check CNN headlines every morning for general news updates. It’s always a relief that Biden is still on the job. There’s times he looks so confused. He had to ask a soldier how to exit the room a couple weeks ago. The cameras caught it. Sigh. Please Mr President try Prevagen. 
We need him.
Kamela is just waiting. Remember how she was before becoming VP? She had swung pretty far left and openly criticized Biden. That only changed after getting on the Ticket.
Assuming inability of the president:
That would require 2/3 of congress to remove Biden and also require congress to approve of a new VP should Harris become president.
I can’t imagine republicans playing nice on this at all. Stopping Harris, a black woman, from becoming president is certainly something they would want.
Eh?
By incapacitated, I meant dead or seriously ill to the point of resigning, after Jan. 20th, 2025. Ousting a cuckoo-bird prez is a whole other kettle of fish.
If Biden resigns or dies then Harris just becomes president (although I think congress still has to approve of her choice for VP if she became president in this manner).
If Biden goes senile and refuses to resign (or suffers some other disability which makes it impossible for him to discharge his duties as president) the 25th amendment can be invoked to remove him if he cannot or will not resign.
Then what exactly do you need to “understand before being asked to vote next year”?
You spelled right once, then you spelled it wrong. What is it that people think is confusing about her name, whether it’s the pronunciation or the spelling?
Well sure, but that’s the least likely scenario. My only point was that I don’t care if Joe is a 1000 years old. He only needs to hold it together until Jan. 20, 2025.
I shouldn’t have used the term ‘incapacitated’ I guess. A scenario in which Biden would need to removed via the 25th Amendment is pretty unlikely. On the other hand, suppose Biden stepped down in the summer of 2025, I wonder what would happen with Congress and a new VP. Or would there have to be a new VP at all? Harris could just leave the position empty.
Whether Harris would want a new VP could depend on several things. The VP casts a tie-breaking vote in the senate if a vote results in a tie. This is something Harris had to do several times. This depends on the balance of power in the senate.
Then, remember, the next in line for the presidency, after the VP, is the Speaker of the House. If that person is a republican they would be happy to not have a democratic VP standing in line before them.
Which, I think, would encourage crazies (of which there seem to be plenty) to try to assassinate a black woman democrat president and let republicans take over the presidency.
Seriously, her name has 3 very complicated syllables, same as Marjorie. Do Republicans ever mispronounce that one? And it’s even simpler to spell.
There is no way she would voluntarily leave the position empty. She would nominate a replacement who would have to be confirmed by a majority of both houses of congress.
Now, if one or both houses of congress were GOP-controlled, her pick might not win confirmation. That’s the only way the VP slot would remain open.
Re the last Whack-a-Mole post, the presidency is an extremely dangerous job whomever is in the position. Maybe this is as big a factor in life expectancy as normal mortality calculations.
Well there’s a happy thought.
I doubt it would matter much, though. Even if Harris was ‘forced’ by a republican Congress to nominate an ‘acceptable’ candidate, she could just shove that person in a closet and forget about them. (Unless needed for Senate tiebreakers, of course)
I just looked up Rockefeller’s confirmation by the Democratic Congress in 1974. He got 90 senators and 69% of the House. I’m pretty sure Ford was confirmed with even greater ease. I can only imagine what would happen in the current climate.
Consider that Biden’s cabinet nominees frequently got roughly half of the GOP senators voting Yes for confirmation:
So long as Harris didn’t nominate someone from the squad – which she would not – her replacement VP choice would have a high confirmation probability.
I wish I shared your optimism about the Republicans currently in Congress. Hopefully, BIden will serve out his second term and we’ll never need to know.
Maybe. But US presidents also have probably the best personal security on the planet which helps them.
You mean this?
Eh…all presidents seem to have dumb moments caught on camera.
Imagine a camera on you almost all the time you are out of the house and everything you do is published. I bet we’d catch you doing something stupid too (not just you…anyone…we have all had those dumb moments).
Did you take into account how stressful being President is? They look 20 years older when they leave office.
That’s a possibility I suppose. But here’s another one. Maybe Harris did her job and checked out the issue - and discovered there’s no serious problem that needs to be fixed.
It could be that Republicans are lying when they talk about an immigration crisis. It could be that there is no crisis. And Harris refusing to go into a panic doesn’t mean she’s ignoring a crisis. Instead, she’s responding appropriately to the actual level of the issue.
