Presidential Health: Who Determines When a President is Unfit to Serve?
from Middleweight Politics: Political Analysis for the Independent Voter · host Dan Sally & Shawn Griffiths
At the time of this recording on Friday, May 16, Joe Biden's cancer prognosis handn't been revealed, yet stories had already emerged revealing just how far Biden's inner circle went to conceal his cognitive decline during the final years of his presidency. This raised the question: Are there any real safeguards for removing a president who's no longer fit to serve? In this episode, Dan and Shawn examine how the system let this happen, how similar failures have played out in American history, and what it says about a two-party structure that forces voters to choose between different flavors of dysfunction, rather than ensuring effective governance.
