Joe Biden Should Resign the Presidency

Joe Biden did the right thing in ending the charade of asking the American public to believe that he was capable of serving another four years as president.

This was preposterous, and the public, as the polling has consistently shown for a long time, didn’t believe it.

Now, Biden has issued a statement dropping out of the race and has endorsed his vice president Kamala Harris.

Biden should take the next logical step and resign the presidency. It’s possible to imagine a president not being able to campaign but still being capable of carrying out his official duties — say, if he had a serious physical impairment. And it is even possible to imagine a president who could serve for another six months but not another four and a half years. But such scenarios do not apply to Biden.
