Democrats Grapple with 25th Amendment as Biden Faces Reelection Doubts

Amid concerns over President Biden's age and mental acuity, party members explore constitutional options for leadership transition.

President Biden remains determined to seek reelection despite growing pressure from Democrats to step down.
The 25th Amendment offers a rarely used mechanism for replacing an incapacitated president, but its invocation is considered unlikely.
Some Democrats suggest Vice President Kamala Harris could assume the presidency if Biden voluntarily resigns.
The amendment's process involves complex steps, including Cabinet and congressional approval, making it a challenging route.
Historical context shows the amendment was designed to address presidential incapacity, with few precedents for its use.
