This becomes a catch-22 dilemma.
I don’t have a problem with that, not sure why you think I would.

Creating justification for invalidating the previous administrations’ actions wholesale rather than litigating each one individually.
Impeachment of President Biden. Even though he is no longer in office and conviction would mean nothing for Biden it would create the impetus for investigating previous administrative officials for a range of federal crimes.
Suppose there were ample grounds for application of the 25th amendment to remove a sitting president from office for health reasons. Casual observation demonstrates that the president is incapable of performing their duties of office, but the legal levers required to remove him are controlled by the same political party of the president.
Is congress negligent in removing an incapacitated leader by not using the 25th amendment to place a competent leader in the office of the president?
I don’t have that USC Line Item readily available. However, I don’t doubt that such a statute would exist to remove incapacitated persons from elected office. Agreed?
It’s tit for tat US politics. Sure, why not?
Indeed, it does not.
They’re not talking about an investigation. They’re talking about taking clearly illegal actions because they feel like it.
You need to go actually read the 25th. It doesn’t give Congress that power in the 25th.
No. Full stop.
He certainly does inspire people.
I’m looking forward to just reading whatever we want into the 2nd amendment.
Well, we shouldn’t be arming Mexican bears!
25th Amendment Sec. 4: "…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, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office."
So, yes - Congress certainly has the power to enforce the 25th and initiate such proceedings. Which again brings up the question of responsibility and negligence of responsible parties.
The 25th Amendment doesn’t bring it up in any way. It just says that whenever they do something that certain things will happen.
Impeach Biden for the purpose of wiping some of the stink off Dump’s twice impeached ass
No, read the words more carefully. The VP and the cabinet (or VP and other body provided by law) makes the decision, then transmits it to Congress. Congress does not initiate under the 25th.
So they’ll use this for the foreseeable end of Kamala’s career. Her Chappaquiddick.
This is the snippet I was focusing on in regards to my comment. Granted, I have not found or been made aware of any law or statute that designates congress itself as the “such other body” I see nothing in the amendment that prohibits congress itself from bringing forth the initiative within the scope of the 25th amendment either.
Will this be how they try to undue Biden’s pardons?
Ohh lordy lord, that would be something as yet unseen.
Joe Biden’s aliases draw renewed scrutiny after archives show emails involving foreign policy
The drip drip drip of shit from the leftover Biden brain colostomy bag is growing old. Either appoint a special prosecutor or get off my lawn.

Trump announced Monday on Truth Social that Hunter and Ashley Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection.
“Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,” Trump wrote on his social media platform.
“Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list," Trump said.
