New Yorker wants Joe Biden, whose admin has had historical success, to resign bc he's not doing well at running for re-election. This is not, in fact, what the 25th Amendment was made for.

This Is What the Twenty-fifth Amendment Was Designed Forwww.newyorker.com If Joe Biden doesn’t willingly resign, there’s another solution, which would allow Democrats to unite around a new incumbent.

It's fairly insane that MOST political journalists exhibit no understanding that being President and running for President are not the same thing, and often a President who is effective at making policy may not titillate their beltway gossip machine, which reflects on THEIR competence, not his.

Except that the author of this atrocity isn’t a political journalist, she’s a law professor. At Harvard. So what’s her excuse?

"Law professor at Harvard" explains a whole lot, actually.
