If these reports on Biden are true, every Democrat should have to answer: if he is not up to the task in 4 months, how is he up to the task of remaining in the job now?

@mkhammer @_Peter_Cook It's a real problem.

I do think the specter of zombie presidents would be a threat to democracy, so it might be worth writing about.

I did not realize that many of us were still alive.

Mrs. Coolidge and I left for Washington that day, to continue the work Mr. Harding had begun. The rest is history.

Though we arrived there through tragedy, it was the culmination of a father's desire for the success of his son.

The little house was full of memories. My boyhood recollections were there. There my mother and sister had passed their last hours on Earth.

It was unusual to ascend to high office in such a setting, but to me it also seemed fitting.

I took the oath by the light of our old kerosene lamp, my hand on the Bible that had belonged to my late mother.

And that there would be no violent shifts in the tenor of the administration. Then my father, a notary, administered the oath of office.

I dispatched a telegraph to Mrs. Harding, and another for public purposes. I wanted the people to know that I proposed no sweeping changes.

I dressed and knelt in prayer, asking God to bless the American people and to give me the power to serve them well.

He told me that Mr. Harding had died earlier that night. My father was the first person to address me as President.

His voice trembled, which it had only ever done when death had visited our family. I knew that something grave had occurred.

This day in 1923, I was visiting my father at the old homestead in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. Early in the morning, he woke me.

The words of the President have an enormous weight and ought not to be used indiscriminately.

When I would visit with family at Thanksgiving, we used to talk of children, farming, and the old days.

They hired the money, didn't they?
