WASHINGTON – Today on the floor, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) previewed the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing he will co-chair tomorrow alongside Sen. Schmitt (R-MO) to investigate who was running the country during President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while in office, the alleged cover-up by the mainstream media, the Biden family, and his inner circle, and the resulting constitutional questions. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.

“Tomorrow, I’ll be co-chairing, along with my colleague from Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt in the Senate Judiciary Committee, a hearing to delve into the constitutional implications of President Biden’s cognitive decline while in office.”

“At that hearing, we’ll begin to address some of the many unanswered questions from this scandal, questions that are foundational to the functioning of our form of government.”

“One of the aims of the hearing will be shining a light on what exactly went on at the White House during the Biden administration.”

“From the Biden border crisis to the disastrous results from the withdrawal in Afghanistan, the American people were the ones who paid the price.”

“And it’s now clear that for many months – no one knows exactly how long – the President was simply not up to the task.”

“Whoever happened to be making those decisions and carrying out the duties of the Office of President was not somebody who was authorized by the Constitution or by a vote of the American people.”

“The hearing we’ll hold tomorrow in the Judiciary Committee will examine in depth these constitutional questions and what happens when the President is no longer capable of performing the duties of his office.”

 “Who… is accountable when the cabinet fails to do its duty, when the Vice President fails to do her duty under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment? Are there penalties for failing to act?”

“Why was the 25th Amendment not invoked, and what factors do we need to look at that may have played a role in congressional inaction?”

“Most importantly, as part of our legislative responsibilities, should Congress consider amending the 25th Amendment further to further clarify responsibilities and protocols in case this disaster befalls our nation again?”

“Those in authority derive their power from the consent of the governed, but during much of the last four years, we know that our country was largely led by unelected staff whose names are unknown by the American people.”

“I look forward to tomorrow’s hearing examining these hard but existentially important questions that must be answered from this monumental scandal.”
