My thought are because Harris would have been The President and they would have had to select a VP. Once the American People saw her as a President she would have NEVER been Elected!!!

In the case of the 25th Amendment, the ascending President picks a CP which has to be confirmed by both Chambers of Congress.

If the vice president were unable or ineligible to ascend to the presidency (or if the office was vacant) the Speaker of the House would be next in line under terms of the Presidential Succession Act, which was first passed in 1947.

However, when the vice president becomes president, the speaker does not move into the office of vice president. The legislation only specifies who is to become president.

When the position of vice president becomes vacant, the 25th Amendment states:

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

The 25th Amendment was not used because the Cabinet did not think it necessary, and now as with. President Regan, they are going to let Grandpa ride it out.

I have said bf, if President Biden is too old, too feeble to campaign, he needs to be removed by due process of the Constitution as amended.

The presidency is not a 10-4 job.

I would guess that they didn't feel that it was justified/necessary and keeping KH as VP gives her a lot more time to campaign.

It wasn't used because he "decided" not to run for re-election....
