CHARLOTTE — South Carolina Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace doesn’t want to wait until January for President Joe Biden to leave office.

Mace is calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows a vice president to seize power from a president “unfit for office.”

It’s unlikely Harris will do so, and she would need support from cabinet officials.

Mace said she plans to introduce a resolution Monday to try and remove Biden from office before the election.

“If Joe Biden does not have the cognitive ability to seek reelection, he does not have the cognitive ability to serve the remainder of his term,” Mace wrote on X.

The White House says Biden will finish his term.
