In a dramatic turn of events, House Republicans are demanding that President Joe Biden resign from office after he declared that he would not seek reelection in 2024. Republican leaders argue that if Biden is unable to run for another term, he should not continue to serve as the President of the United States.

The calls for Biden's resignation came shortly after his surprising announcement, which sent shockwaves through the political world and left the future of the Democratic Party uncertain. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) took to the social platform X to express his stance, urging Biden to step down immediately. "If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President. He must resign the office immediately," Johnson wrote.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (Minn.), the third-ranking Republican in the chamber, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the concern over Biden's ability to command the nuclear codes. "If the Democratic party has deemed Joe Biden unfit to run for re-election, he's certainly unfit to control our nuclear codes. Biden must step down from office immediately," Emmer wrote on X.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), who chairs the House GOP conference, added her voice to the growing chorus, stating that Biden is "unable and unfit" to complete his term. Stefanik argued that if Biden cannot run for reelection, he should not continue as the President of the United States. "If Joe Biden can't run for re-election, he is unable and unfit to serve as President of the United States," Stefanik said in a statement. "He must immediately resign."

Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race came after mounting pressure from Democrats who urged him to step aside following his lackluster performance in last month's debate. During the debate, Biden stumbled over his words and appeared to lose his train of thought, raising concerns about his mental acuity.

In a letter addressed to the country, Biden explained his reasoning behind the decision, stating that although he had intended to seek reelection, he believed it was in the best interest of his party and the nation to step down and focus on fulfilling his duties as President for the remainder of his term.

Despite his commitment to serving out his term that officially ends in mid-January, pressure is mounting on Biden to resign in the interim. Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, questioned whether Biden could effectively carry out his presidential duties if he is mentally unfit to campaign.

"If the president is mentally unfit to campaign, he is mentally unfit to have the nuclear codes," Hudson wrote in a statement. "Every House Democrat must now answer: is the president fit to serve the rest of his term?"

If Biden refuses to resign early, Republicans could turn to a resolution introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) that calls on Vice President Kamala Harris to convene the Cabinet and declare Biden unable to fulfill his responsibilities as President. However, it seems unlikely that Harris would take such action.

Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, joined the calls for Biden's resignation, highlighting concerns about his ability to effectively carry out the responsibilities of the Commander-in-Chief. "Being President is the hardest job in the world, and I no longer have confidence that Joe Biden can effectively execute his duties as Commander-in-Chief," Daines stated.

As the controversy deepens, only time will tell how this latest development will shape the political landscape and the future of the Biden administration.
