Janet Yellen Denies Discussion of 25th Amendment

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen confirmed that there have been no discussions among Cabinet members about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Biden despite concerns over his cognitive state. Yellen emphasized Biden's effectiveness in high-level meetings and denied observing any cognitive decline. The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to declare a president unfit, though it has never been invoked in US history. Calls for Biden to step aside intensified after a debate where he appeared to struggle, but Democratic leaders have supported him. Yellen's testimony defended Biden amidst growing scrutiny over his age and performance, with no indication of Cabinet action under the 25th Amendment.
