    This alone should be more than enough to declare him senile and unfit to be president, no? There’s no mechanism in the US to remove a senile president? It’s literally danger to keep someone senile in power even in small countries with no nukes, in the US it’s suicidal on a planetary scale.

      There are mechanisms. See 25th Amendment. But it’s not useful: 2/3 of both houses must agree with the incompetency ruling of cabinet, which consists VP plus 50% + 1 of the cabinet. Since his cabinet is stacked by his lackeys, the only way this could occur is if Vance is performing a coup. Still need 2/3 of each house, which is harder to get than impeachment!

      There is, the 25th amendment to the Constitution. But it requires the president’s cabinet to be rational human beings and have the best interests of the country in mind, instead of just being a weird cult which holds on to as much power as possible through any means possible.
