If Vice President Kamala Harris wanted to use special counsel Robert Hur's scathing classified documents report eviscerating President Joe Biden's mental acuity to boost herself to the No. 1 job, she would have to convince a majority of his closest confidants that he is no longer fit to serve as leader of the free world.
For Harris – who told The Wall Street Journal she was "ready to serve" just two days before the report dropped – to be named acting president, she would have to sway only a simple majority of the 15 executive Cabinet members to sign onto a 25th Amendment case that finds Biden is no longer able to perform his duties.
