On Saturday, US President Joe Biden committed a new lapse, as he confused Ukraine with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
In a message to members of the House of Representatives, Biden invited them to vote on a bill that would fund NATO instead of mentioning Ukraine.
Biden said in press statements: “The idea that we will withdraw from supporting Ukraine, and that we will begin to allow NATO to divide, is completely inconsistent with the interests of the United States.”
He added: “It is time to ensure that Congress approves legislation to fund NATO,” according to the American Fox News network.
In the midst of his talk about the Gaza crisis, Biden described his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as “the president of Mexico,” in his third slip of the tongue in less than a week.
Biden also confused the matter between a European leader and her deceased predecessor, as he said during an election event that he met with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017, instead of Angela Merkel.
A few days ago, Biden said that he spoke to the late French President François Mitterrand, instead of current President Emmanuel Macron, while also talking about the same G7 summit that was held in June 2021.
Demands for Biden’s impeachment
As Biden’s slips of the tongue and his mixing of people and titles continue, doubts are rising about the 81-year-old’s ability to lead the United States for a presidential term starting next year if he is re-elected.
After several mistakes within days, a number of Republican lawmakers seized the opportunity to strike the Democratic president, as they called for activating the twenty-fifth amendment to the US Constitution.
Invitations came from Rick Scott (Florida), Mike Lee (Utah), Josh Hawley (Missouri), Mary Miller (Illinois), Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mike Collins (Georgia).
Several other prominent right-wing figures, such as Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, radio personality Mark Levin, and former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, have also suggested invoking the 25th Amendment.
What is the 25th Amendment?
• This amendment allows for the possibility of removing the US President if it is proven that he is unable to lead the country.
• The Twenty-fifth Amendment sets out the methods for transferring power in the United States, in the event of the resignation, death, impeachment, or temporary incapacity of the president.
• The amendment transfers the powers of the president to his deputy, until the latter can return.
• The Vice President and members of the government are allowed to dismiss the President if he is deemed unable to perform his duties.
• The president is given the opportunity to respond, and if he rejects the measure, Congress intervenes, as the decision to impeach the president in the House of Representatives and the Senate requires a two-thirds majority.
