Reporters were once again escorted out of the Oval Office and prevented from asking President Biden questions at the White House on Monday.

Biden welcomed Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and both world leaders gave approximately four minutes’ worth of remarks on the alliance between their two countries. After the pair discussed the countries’ dedication to assisting Ukraine as well as combating climate change, Biden thanked the press without taking questions as White House staffers escorted them out of the room.

Biden and Frederickson could be seen smirking as the reporters shouted questions that went unanswered. The pair also appeared to converse with each other while ignoring the press. One reporter can be heard asking how Biden views Danish leadership in the world to which Biden could be seen laughing.

The clip of Biden laughing as the press was prevented from asking questions comes as the latest example of the president avoiding or ridiculing reporters during his administration.

In May, a similar scenario occurred when Biden met with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Like his meeting with Frederiksen, Biden was seen smirking, chuckling and remaining silent as reporters were herded from the room. This dismissal of the press came during the height of concerns over Trump-era border policy Title 42 being set to expire.

Biden also openly mocked reporters in another Oval Office encounter, this time with Israeli President Isaac Herzog. back in October. As reporters shouted questions, the president imitated the press with raised eyebrows while silently mimicking them talking. He also laughed and slapped his knee as staffers escorted reporters away.

This encounter drew particular ire from the press, including Bloomberg White House correspondent Nancy Cook who showed concern over the president refusing questions just weeks before the 2022 midterm elections.

"The Biden WH seems *particularly intent* on the press not asking any [questions] of POTUS 14 days out from the midterms, w/WH aides screaming in the faces of reporters who try to ask Biden q's following each event today," Cook tweeted.

The White House announced in May that the administration planned to revise rules regarding who can attend press briefings and conferences. Under the new rules, the White House explained that credentials will be revoked if journalists don't act "in a professional manner," followed by suspensions and bans for repeated offenses.

This followed several instances of Today News Africa reporter Simon Ateba shouting down White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for ignoring reporters placed in the back of the room.

Ateba told Fox News Digital, "I think it may be used to kick out unfriendly and tough reporters. The rule will be used against people like me who have been trying hard to ask questions. It's simply a threat against the First Amendment."

Did you see the story about how they are wanting to get Obama to be the VP for the next run because they know Biden cant win? But with Obama on the ticket they think he can, I can see day 2 after that win Biden "strokes out" and Obama is back for term 3

But a President can't serve more than 2 terms. It's in the Constitution... oh wait, that's the liberals' toilet paper. I'm sorry, I forgot. :doh:

Yeah, but IDK about the loop hole if you come back as VP. Is there anything specific to that?

The President is the President. They can't serve more than two terms. The Presidency goes to the Speaker of the House.

A person is allowed to serve no more than 2 terms or 10 years total.

Twenty-second Amendment:


Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.[3]

I see this

"The 22nd Amendment restricts a candidate from being elected to the presidency for more than two terms. The 12th Amendment dictates that a vice president can not be selected if they are not eligible for president. "

and also this

"Article II’s enumeration of Presidential qualifications, the Twelfth Amendment’s treatment of qualifications for the Vice-Presidency, and the post-service limitations placed on two-term Presidents by the Twenty-Second Amendment. To be sure, thoughtful analysts have argued that the Constitution forecloses the possibility that a twice-before-elected President can hold (or at least secure election to) the Vice-Presidential office. Close inspection reveals, however, that that view misses the mark. In fact, the relevant constitutional provisions, their histories, and their purposes all point to the same conclusion: A twice-before-elected President may become Vice-President either through appointment or through election and — like any other Vice-President — may thereafter succeed from that office to the Presidency for the full remainder of the pending term."

I guess it will be stuck in court until he finishes his term :lol:
