===Nuclear codes===
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. [[Jimmy Panetta]] and [[Ted Lieu]] after both international and national media questioned Biden's mental capacity and the threat it posed to national security.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/believe-joe-bidens-mental-state-clear-national-security-threat-newsmax-host-grant-stinchfield-joe-bidens-dementia-video/</ref><ref>https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6233603126001</ref> 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..."'''''. In late 2020, [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]] introduced a bill creating a [[25th Amendment]] Commission.

[[File:Biden fall.jpg|right|300px|thumb|With advanced age Biden has become increasingly unbalanced.]]
Biden has had two brain surgeries, and his speech is occasionally slurred in pronouncing common words. In addition to his socialist views Biden has had a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which likewise is known to cause permanent brain damage.<ref>https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/subarachnoid-hemorrhage/symptoms-causes/syc-20361009</ref> During a CNN town hall on 17 February 2021 Biden claimed that he didn't have the COVID Vaccine when he took office.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/news/biden-claims-we-didnt-have-a-covid-vaccine-when-he-took-office/ Biden Claims ‘We Didn’t Have’ a COVID Vaccine When He Took Office]</ref> He didn't remember that he himself took the vaccine on 21 December 2020, one month before occupying the office.<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-receives-covid-19-vaccination Biden receives COVID-19 vaccination]</ref>
Six weeks after the seizure of power, a [[Rasmussen Poll]] of likely voters showed 50% said they were not confident that “Joe Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being president of the United States.”<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/day-49-half-the-nation-worried-biden-not-physically-and-mentally-up-to-the-job</ref> Shortly thereafter Biden fell three times attempting to board [[Air Force One]].<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/joe-biden-fall-air-force-one-b1819731.html</ref> White House internal propagandists tried to explain away the incident as the wind blowing Biden over.<ref>https://therightscoop.com/breaking-white-house-explains-why-biden-stumbled-and-fell-on-stairs-today-and-its-not-even-a-good-excuse/</ref> Not one day earlier Biden referred to Kamala Harris, a person whose own mental faculties have been called into question, as "President Harris."<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/03/18/biden-calls-kamala-president-harris-during-speech/</ref> Former White House physician for Presidents [[George W.
