Charles C. W. Cooke couldn’t be more right that it would be catastrophic to reelect a president who lacks the capacity — physically and mentally — to do the job. I was glad this week to find Charlie, with his customary panache, calling out Politico’s Jonathan Martin for his precious concern over President Biden’s inability “to govern and campaign in the manner of previous incumbents,” when it should be undeniable that the former incapacity renders the latter quite beside the point.
We’re going to go through this charade anyway, alas. Strange as it seems, a person who lacks capacity to govern is not thereby disqualified from being president of the United States — at least in the constitutional sense.
