U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) announced on the Senate floor that he will co-chair a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO). The hearing, scheduled for tomorrow, aims to investigate President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while in office and the alleged cover-up by the mainstream media, the Biden family, and his inner circle.
Senator Cornyn outlined several key issues to be addressed during the hearing. “Tomorrow, I’ll be co-chairing, along with my colleague from Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt in the Senate Judiciary Committee, a hearing to delve into the constitutional implications of President Biden’s cognitive decline while in office,” he stated.
The hearing seeks to explore unanswered questions related to this issue and its impact on government operations. “At that hearing, we’ll begin to address some of the many unanswered questions from this scandal, questions that are foundational to the functioning of our form of government,” Cornyn remarked.
One focus will be on events within the White House during Biden’s administration. “One of the aims of the hearing will be shining a light on what exactly went on at the White House during the Biden administration,” Cornyn noted.
Cornyn highlighted specific incidents like “the Biden border crisis” and “the disastrous results from the withdrawal in Afghanistan,” asserting that these events affected American citizens. He added, “And it’s now clear that for many months – no one knows exactly how long – the President was simply not up to the task.”
The senator raised concerns about who made decisions when Biden was allegedly unable to fulfill his duties. “Whoever happened to be making those decisions and carrying out the duties of the Office of President was not somebody who was authorized by the Constitution or by a vote of the American people,” he said.
The upcoming hearing will examine constitutional questions regarding presidential incapacity. Cornyn asked, “Who… is accountable when the cabinet fails to do its duty, when the Vice President fails to do her duty under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment? Are there penalties for failing to act?”
Cornyn questioned why certain measures were not taken: “Why was the 25th Amendment not invoked, and what factors do we need to look at that may have played a role in congressional inaction?”
He also suggested potential legislative changes: “Most importantly, as part of our legislative responsibilities, should Congress consider amending the 25th Amendment further to further clarify responsibilities and protocols in case this disaster befalls our nation again?”
In conclusion, Cornyn emphasized accountability and transparency: “Those in authority derive their power from consent of governed but during much last four years we know our country largely led by unelected staff whose names unknown by American people.”
He expressed anticipation for tomorrow’s proceedings: “I look forward tomorrow’s hearing examining these hard but existentially important questions must answered from monumental scandal.”
