Once again, the Democrats are showing their true colors with their desperate and absurd attempts to salvage Joe Biden’s declining reputation. A law professor at George Washington University has come up with a ludicrous suggestion that perfectly encapsulates the state of panic within the left-wing camp.
The professor is proposing that the Democrats should oust Kamala Harris and bring back Barack Obama as Biden’s running mate for the 2024 elections. As if that’s not enough, he has the audacity to claim there wouldn’t be any constitutional issues if Obama were to step in as president, should something happen to Biden.
Here’s his tweet:

The story was reported by Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner:
‘Plan C’ ticket: Biden-Obama
“A Biden-Obama ticket would have a much better chance of beating Trump,” said legal scholar John Banzhaf, a professor at George Washington University Law School.
“Barack Obama is probably one of the few persons whom a majority of Americans would want and trust as president, so Plan C might be the least objectionable of a number of very unpopular and dubious options now open to Biden and the Democratic Party,” he said on Thursday.
Banzhaf cited analysis by constitutional scholars dismissing concerns that the 12th and 22nd amendments bar a former two-term president from the vice presidency.
“The 22nd Amendment, which is most frequently cited as a bar to Barack Obama ever serving as president again, doesn’t — according to its carefully crafted and very narrow exclusionary language,” Banzhaf said.
The key sentence in the amendment says, “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice, and no person who has held the office of the president, or acted as president, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected president shall be elected to the office of the president more than once.”
Banzhaf said “while this amendment may bar Obama from ‘being elected’ to the office of president again, it obviously and by its clear language doesn’t prohibit him from being elected as vice president, and subsequently becoming president by succession without ever being elected to the office again.”
This preposterous suggestion just goes to show how frantic and desperate Democrats have become. They’re willing to go to any lengths, even if it means bending constitutional rules and norms.
