BREAKING NEWS: House GOP Leaders Declare Biden 'Unfit' And Allege 'Cover-Up' Of His Mental State 

The problem is people are getting fake id and proof of citizenship. Too many coming in our boarders

Allowing non citizens to vote is practically insane

@@jr6200 then it's a no win for potato joe

Guess what. Non citizens are prohibited from voting in national elections IN EVERY STATE.

No womder they're fighting it!! Its common sense, and politicians just hate common sense 🤣

That's already the rule, no non-citizens or felons. I'm confused how this changes anything?

Only one citizen? Man, that's a lot riding on that one person.

@@litttoeIt’s illegal to get on a plane with a bomb. Why do we bother having security checks at the airport???

Really?.no shit!

Thanks your right

Democrats have been fighting this for like 2 decades. They would lose over 20 million voters.

Thank you, @azouzn7ila112 for RESPECTING our country and the laws of our country. WE, the People really appreciate you having this respect as we, too, respect our laws because it keeps us all safe and our society civil.GOD Bless You!

Exactly! Its getting ridiculous over here 🤡

Only American citizens are allowed to vote Einstein.

Hey genuis only American citizens are allowed to vote .

illegals can get id

The media and the sheep that follow it.

Media. News outlets.

democrats own the police

Because the GOP is a joke.

@@johnmiller678 I mean, it's not just the media. The vast, vast majority of everyone on both sides of the aisle are just one side of the same coin; it's a uniparty. It's not a coincidence they let this go on for 3 1/2 years while putting on political theater but doing absolutely nothing about it; and now, overnight, every single news media organization changes its tune completely about Biden. It's almost like whoever is actually in power has decided to discard Biden and the narrative pushers ("news" organizations") and supposed republicans are now all pushing to oust him.

Of Course!!!

This has to be passed.....So disgusted !

The only election cheating has come from republicans

@@LoneWolf-qk9pl IT'S A LAW ALREADY... HOW DUMB YOU HAVE TO BE AND NOT REALIZE THAT'S STATED IN THE U S CONSTITUTION ???

I don’t even understand why this is even a conversation smh

How do you prove youre a citizen???

Fantasy, but republican fake electors are real and will be prosecuted

Liberal Party of Canada doesn't care if the Votes are from Non-Citizens either....

But I wanna?

Can we vote in Ukraine elections? I mean we bought the country right?

@@eyeinsee Please...Keep your comments real.

What about the republican fake electors. Illegals voting is a maga fantasy, show us any proof of that

In some states they are handing out ID like candy on Halloween. NY being one of those. This bill is all noise, it will not get past the Senate and certainly get veto from the President. Not enough votes to overturn veto. Our elections are lost!

and proof of citizenship

They need to show the voter card and ID card to match. And when people apply to vote need proof of citizenship. In the coming years the IDs need to have something on the card to proof that citizenship has been approved. This is insane that non citizens are voting for our nation. Just insane!

Every voting station nationwide on all levels should take it a step further and add a thumbprint requirement beside the signature on all ballots, whether in person or mailed in. I wonder how the election thieves would overcome that obstacle?

Amen. Thank you Brother.

😂😂😂 yup

A felon can't vote or own a gun, but he can run to be president?

Putin, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping , Zelensky and Ismail Haniyeh will all arrive to vote for Biden.

They can’t…

I’ve been asking that since the beginning!!👌🏼

@WiseGuyGene it's been O'biden running our country, not Biden. I never forget a photo of an article of the Inauguration showing Obama walking into the White House with his arm around Joe's shoulder and thought to myself, he's the one who will be pulling puppet strings. Now look at our country. And although I am proud to be an African American born here in the USA, I never voted for the 44th. Didn't trust him from day one.

Sadly, it's been O'biden

I think most already know 👍🏻

The question has been asked but transparency & truth... probably never.

WELCOME TO SANITY

I, as a registered democrat, voted for DJT! Then a year later, after seeing the job he was doing, changed lanes and became a FIRST TIME REPUBLICAN! Then I saw my party get defeated TWICE in a predominantly republican state. How sad…

My grandfather died in WW2 and left 3 children with barely a memory of their father. His 48 star coffin flag has been passed down to me out of 10 grandchildren and his army hat with the blood on it. I am honored to be the one chosen to keep it to pass on to my daughter who I named after him. If he saw the country today he would have stayed home with his family, I'd rather have known him.

Gave it all for some fartass elites to focus on some perceived privileged and lament and nitpick history viewed outside of context and gradual progress to be reductive to the point of pathetic. Who is running the country?

​@@Jjj6212your grandfather, that's a hero.

I'm 106 and that gives me hope that Biden can give another great 4 years. He'll only be 86 by then

Stop watching Fox news and news Max !

They’re giving them id’s though

Absolutely

@@gingerfuller4775 Then the IDs should be MARKED citizen or not.

The problem is the mail-in absentee ballots ! ! Vote early also doesn't make sense, this is how they are getting in our elections !

That's another thing that pisses me off. Each paycheck I get. I pay into social security. For what? By the time I retire if I can even retire.. that will be all used up and gone. Social security is for retired AMERICANS that payed into it during their life. How do you just come here illegally, and get handed my money. That's just bullshit

So they will vote for Dems !!!!

Thank you guys for standing up for the American people!!!!

Time for American Citizens to protest now!

isn't it crazy!

I would like to go over to France and vote in their elections. Do you think they would allow that? Absolutely not. No other country would allow non-citizens to vote in their elections. Why do we?

​@@EA-fu2in How is he a fascist?

and the voter should NOT be accompanied by a friend when writing their selection, because they do not speak English! I saw it here in Florida!!!!!

Kind of like how we were guaranteed a safe country and secure border? Governor Abbott wrote a letter on January 24, 2024 which stated the president is violating the constitution of the United States.

The people allowed this to happen decades ago. To busy letting the parties use them as pawns.

Our "leaders" are ignoring the constitution. They start at "For the People" 🫠

Careful, you sound like a concerned citizen. They don't like it when the sheep look up.

US interferes with other countries' affairs every single chance they get. They end up immigrating to the USA and become citizens and vote for people who will not do that. :)

@@FuhqEwe State ID would be good.

@@sherry-yq6ht State ID that requires a birth certificate works well.

America

It varies from state to state. Local elections can allow anyone they deem eligible to vote for issues those community members deal with. Theres one race, where a Gopher tells you if its gonna be cold or not and is the only one who gets to vote. None of the congress, senate or president races allow anyone but SSN having freedomites of this great land.

Only the U.S. and only 5 countries in the world allow mail in voting under very special and exceptional circumstances

Amen!

Right! Why is this even an issue. Ridiculousness

That leaves Trump out to he is crazy

1. His vice president, Mike Pence: “The American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution. … Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.” 2. His second attorney general, Bill Barr: “Someone who engaged in that kind of bullying about a process that is fundamental to our system and to our self-government shouldn’t be anywhere near the Oval Office.” 3. His first secretary of defense, James Mattis: “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people - does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us.” 4. His second secretary of defense, Mark Esper: “I think he’s unfit for office. … He puts himself before country. His actions are all about him and not about the country. And then, of course, I believe he has integrity and character issues as well.” 5. His second chief of staff, John Kelly: “A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law. There is nothing more that can be said. God help us.” 6. His former acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, “I quit because I think he failed at being the president when we needed him to be that.” 7. One of his many former communications directors, Anthony Scaramucci: “He is the domestic terrorist of the 21st century.” 8. His first secretary of the Navy, Richard Spencer: "The president has very little understanding of what it means to be in the military, to fight ethically or to be governed by a uniform set of rules and practices.” 9. His first homeland security adviser, Tom Bossert: “The President undermined American democracy baselessly for months. As a result, he’s culpable for this siege, and an utter disgrace.”

I cannot begin to imagine the raw anguish you're experiencing. I hope people read your words and share them with others who need to know what Obama/Biden have done to your son and too many other Americans.

No offense but this would’ve happened regardless.. denial is apart of not being able to get sober.. don’t know you from Adam but placing blame on another just shows you might’ve turned a blind eye multiple times n enabled his drug addiction. Either way I’m sorry about your son.. addiction is a harsh habit to kick..

I'm a recovering addict and the only person I can blame is myself..... The president had NOTHING to do with my using or recovery!! I'm sorry about your son but you need to stop blaming everyone else for his actions and decisions.......

How about Drumpf 's criminal handling of COVID 19 and being responsible for more than 500.000 deaths ....I am so sorry about your son , I lost mine too ( diabetes) ....but many people died of Fentanyl use during Drumpf's time in the White House.....

@@2tearsinabucket521 I've been upset since Nov of 2020 knowing full well there was no way Biden won that election. President Trump was, is and will be POTUS again. Trump fixed a broken country, a country that had an ineligible, Kenyan, Muslim, usurper that turned this country into a sewer and PRESIDENT TRUMP kept every promise he made. Trump is the one who got the 82.5 million votes, so the Republicans better not back off because of evil, pushy, and arrogant Democratic politicians, hold your ground and settle for nothing less than the bill be signed asap.

right on!! we need those names

ONLY TRAITORS WILL VOTE AGAINST THIS BILL.

It’s quite simple, no democrat will vote for it and the Rhinos are the same ones that vote against the party usually every single time.

Right it will be a long list of Demorats & the usual uniparty rinos

Votes are public record and usually found online.

The US Constitution doesn't apply anymore. We have all been such cowards and such lazy fools that we never stood up to defend it so now it's gone.

And LIVING citizens at that! Whole cemetery voted for Biden!

Democrat party is a bunch of crooks! God help us! Trump2024!🇺🇸

We don'😅t have now USA constitution

What exactly does it state? That only US citizens can vote in ANY election in the US? What about legal residents (permanent visas, green cards etc.)? The Constitution may be a bit dated and not specific enough on this issue, hence the need for new federal legislation. Does this new proposed Bill prevent legal residents from voting in elections, including local elections? If you're in the US legally, and paying taxes, then you should be able to vote. Illegals - absolutely not.

Throw him out, incumbent puppet? You need to throw the ones that's behind the elites and globist that behind it. All you all do is read from dictated script, no truth behind it!

@deniseschuld6191 other countries do it. As soon as you give your name DOB it is checked against the Register than you cast your vote.

Two weeks before the machines elected Biden in 2020 he and Dr. Jill were in a press conference where he thought he was running for the Senate against a guy named George. Pretending we didn't know Biden was mentally gone is like pretending Dylan Mulvaney is a woman. Nobody believes it. In addition to this Charade the entire election illness and injections were part of the deception. It was all to allow Obama to remain president with Biden as he surrogate. That is the big reveal that needs to be pursued.

Ridiculous that Democrat party would want ppl from China, Venezuela etc to vote in American Presidents election. Again they will break and change the laws of this country to remain in power! Unbelievable!

Completely off. Nothing should be given to them free from our governments. Churches & Christian organizations should do what God called us to do and help the down trodden. And we should help them get back home.

if we don't no wall will hold them back...

Hi guys. I have some different points. I’m an immigrant, never been illegal in U.S. and have been waiting for my citizenship. Now for my arguments. I am 100% onboard with the SAVE ACT. Ppls that aren’t citizens should not have any saying in how this country is running! After all, they came hare bc theirs isn’t an Eden’s garden! Second: if you are an immigrant, but pay your taxes, you should have access to the public services provided. Third: Unfortunately, with a very heavy heart I say this, America does not provide public services as it should be! Public health care, public security, public schools/colleges, should be the bare minimum that any STATE provides for its own citizens. Forth: There is no such thing as “ help them get back home”. This is our home now too. I came here, worked, served, paid taxes, followed the law, learned the language, adapted to this culture. I’m as much a citizen as you are! Fifth: in any instance the public services should rely on churches, private sector, nongovernmental organizations and etc. The government should provide basics services for free. Lastly: Religious institutions, such as churches, should pay their taxes. I hope you take your time to think about this points with an open mind.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

Like our Social Security!!! We worked for that........

That only helps the Democrat Party. Biden can't win a re-election so they need someone who can and Mike Johnson KNOWS THIS so he's about to help them get someone who is more competent about being corrupt and has a better chance at beating Trump... and you're supporting it. Unless the 20 million illegal aliens have their Voter ID Cards confiscated first, Biden should not be removed because as long as +20 million illegals are voting we need every bit of help we can get. did you call your Governor and State Attorney General and demand they take it to the Supreme Court before you started telling people we should help the Democrats win in 2024?

They hold the senate and presidency. Even if any bill gets passed the house and senate, it still needs to get passed Biden. It’s impossible to pass anything with the stale mate.

i agree with you..i think kevin mccarthy did us o favors...we cant possibly know how entrenched yhe corruption goes both in Washington but also the uphill battle that they have to fight with the main stream media and tbe corruption of our courts so it is a very tall order and we dont have enough majority in the house and the minority of the senate...democrats are always in total lockstep and it shows all of their power and concern only for themselves and certainly not for the people..

The fact is they have been trying but how do you get it past the Presidents veto which requires a 2/3rd majority to override? All these good bills are moot but unless it passes the senate veto proof it wont ever be passed

Biden was able to do what he did because the voters didn’t open their own eyes. Biden wasn’t fit the day of the presidential election….
