Biden administration hit with FOIA suit seeking 25th Amendment-related comms
Fox News
The conservative Heritage Foundation think tank has filed a FOIA suit seeking any communications that exist pertaining to Biden DOJ legal advice concerning use of the 25th Amendment.
Under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, a majority of the "principal officers" of the Cabinet would transmit to the Senate president pro tem – currently Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. – a declaration that the sitting president can no longer perform his duties. The vice president would then be named "acting president." The amendment was ratified following the Kennedy assassination. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
In the past, temporary cases have arisen, such as President George W. Bush providing a written declaration that Vice President Dick Cheney would assume his powers while he underwent a medical procedure. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
