Four weeks into the junta, ''[[Politico]]'' reported that nearly three dozen House Democrats called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch [[nuclear weapon]].

{{quotebox-float|“...Vesting one person with this authority entails real risks...Past presidents have threatened to attack other countries with nuclear weapons or exhibited behavior that caused other officials to express concern about the president’s judgment...While any president would presumably consult with advisors before ordering a nuclear attack, there is no requirement to do so...The military is obligated to carry out the order if they assess it is legal under the laws of war. Under the current posture of U.S. nuclear forces, that attack would happen in minutes.”<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/morning-defense/2021/02/23/tester-outlines-defense-budget-strategy-793538?cid=su_tw_md</ref>}} The effort was spearheaded by Democrat Reps.

The 25th Amendment reads in part, "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments '''''or of such other body as Congress may by law provide..."'''''. Biden insiders began dumping on Kamala Harris in fear she would invoke the 25th Amendment as Biden's dementia became more obvious. When a Trafalgar poll revealed 58% of Americans had no confidence that Kamala Harris could assume the duties of president, a series of [[leak]]s trashing Harris emanated from the White House.<ref>https://www.dickmorris.com/harris-poll-numbers-crashing-lunch-alert/</ref> In the wake of her disastrous photo-op in Guatemala, Mexico, and El Paso, staffers began to quit, citing that Kamala is impossible to work with.<ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2021/06/26/top-travel-aides-for-kamala-harris-are-quitting-and-it-could-hardly-come-at-a-worse-time-n2591632</ref> ''[[Politico]]'' reported that Kamala's office is ''"Not a healthy environment’: rife with dissent.
