Calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to convene and mobilize the principal officers of the executive departments of the Cabinet to activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as acting President.

HRES 1373 is a non-binding House resolution calling on Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Biden unable to perform his duties, based on concerns about his cognitive ability following his June debate performance and subsequent comments. The resolution demands Harris immediately convene Cabinet officials to formally declare the President incapacitated and assume acting presidential powers. It does not alter any legal process - the 25th Amendment’s Section 4 requires actual medical certification and Cabinet action, not a congressional resolution. The resolution is symbolic, reflecting political concerns raised by some lawmakers, but has no legal effect on the presidential succession process. It directly addresses the President’s capacity to serve but does not change current procedures or require any action beyond the House’s statement.
