What’s the most credible argument that the current president can’t run for re-election yet can continue with the world’s toughest job for another 100 days?

The decide on a nuclear response? Command in chief.

Isn't the argument that presidents are actually mostly talking heads 99% of the time and the real intelligence and strategy work is being done by real professional's which job is not to lie comfortably in front of the cameras?

The argument that 100 days vs. 4 more years is moot if you have another Cuban Missile Crisis in September.

under this model, its more about biden's trajectory, ie he will be capable until election day but not capable of being president for another term, thus he can stay as president but can't run again

Watching his recent press conference and the NATO conference, it's clear he maintains a good grasp on things still, just has trouble elucidating at a moments notice. There's no reason to believe he couldn't make executive decisions, especially with the team he has around him.

China invades Tawain on September 1st. Biden has to make the calls. Can’t remember the name of his secretary of defense.

My assumption is that he's mostly not running the show but there are somewhat component people behind the scenes who do. I somewhat trust *their* judgement more than hers.

Not a Kamala fan but would prefer her in the role than a cognitively impaired Biden. Seriously.

Because if the current president can't continue his job we'll be unburdened by what has been?

He said “the back guy.” Com’ on, man.

He couldn’t remember the name of his defense secretary but you think he’s ok to decide on a nuclear response?

He is unfit not because of his decline today, but the decline we expect to see after another year or two.

If you light a lamp for someone else it will also brighten your path


1. Requires you to be able to be commander in chief. That’s a 24/7/365 job. History doesn’t happen 10-4.

1. Constitutional duty
2. Complete policy goals
3. Smooth power transition
4. Maintain national stability
5. Preserve legacy
6. Strategic influence on succession

Cuban Missile Crisis level situation happens tomorrow. Who is making the final call?

you really typed ‘worlds toughest job’ and hit send. He’s been asleep for almost 4 years I think he’s got it from here

because he’s been “operating” for nearly four yrs & a few more months is negligible

him resigning creates 10x more disarray then current status quo

I don’t feel comfortable with *anyone* making that decision due to the nature of the situation being a nuclear strike. 

Yet I’m with you on this I’d want someone who’s cognitively sound and know the name of his defense secretary when pushing the red Doomsday Button.

Do you feel comfortable about Biden having to make a potential decision on a nuclear strike?

bc the next 100 days is a shorter amount of time than the next 1460 days

lol i think he should resign. you asked for the most credible argument.

He can’t remember the name of his defense secretary?

Would you elect him for a 100-day stint right now?

Only credible argument is that his cognitive impairment isn't that bad now, but will be in 4 years.

Different time, different administration.

Nixon resigned and everything worked fine?

Announcing both on the same day would cause anxiety? It would make sense to me if the administration is spacing those out. Doubt it’ll last 100 days.

Not when you have a Cuban Missile Crisis.

He's resigning because the perception is he can't do the job for another 4 years. That has little to do with what he's actually capable of for the next 6 months.

Also in practice the president can lean heavily on others. Regan was pretty out of it his second term.

politics.

it has *nothing* to do with arguments.

it has *everything* to do with influence.

Because 100 days is not 100 days plus another 1461 days. And 100 days of campaigning is 100x more physically taxing than 100 days hanging around the White House.

Is it easier to run Warpcast now or when your kids were newborns?

IMHO he should resign, but...

"I have the energy to run the country but I don't have the energy to both run the country and run a campaign" is a very valid argument.
