Oh, the Democrats are at it again, folks. Just when you thought the clown car couldn’t fit one more, enter “Plan C” – featuring none other than Barack Obama. President Biden, who recently flunked his debate quiz against former President Trump, is now being coached to tap into his old backup QB to salvage his dwindling reelection hopes.
“Plan C,” as the nervous chattering class has dubbed it, aims to supercharge Biden’s faltering campaign by swapping out Kamala Harris for Obama himself. Apparently, John Banzhaf, a legal scholar at George Washington University Law School, believes a Biden-Obama ticket could slam dunk Trump’s rising campaign and Electoral College edge.
Forget "Plan B" of Replacing Biden
Instead Consider Plan C
Let Biden Run With Barack Obama For VP
Yes, It's Constitutional, Say Many Experts

Banzhaf spins quite the yarn: because the 22nd Amendment supposedly doesn’t explicitly ban a two-term president from the vice presidency, Obama could potentially moonwalk his way back into the White House. The amendment’s language, which bars an individual from being elected president more than twice, is apparently worded so nigglingly that Obama could be VP and then succeed to the presidency like a captain-reliever in baseball.
To hear Banzhaf tell it, Obama’s return as VP is a constitutional slam dunk. According to his convoluted interpretation, while the 12th Amendment prevents an ineligible president from being elected vice president, the specific wording conveniently leaves a gap wide enough to drive Obama’s comeback tour bus through. He claims that Obama, who is barred from “being elected” president again, could sit in the VP chair and ascend if Biden can’t finish the term.
The thought of sticking a third Obama term down the throat of a weary American public would normally be a form of cruel and unusual punishment. But desperate times call for desperate measures, right? According to Banzhaf, this plan would give the country renewed confidence. Alternatively, Biden, who’s about as popular as Brussels sprouts at Thanksgiving dinner, might resign once elected to elevate Obama to the big chair without ever having to face the voters. Talk about a backroom maneuver.
And let’s not forget the cherry on this sundae of audacity: employing this gambit could also allow Biden to weasel out of his commitment not to pardon his wayward son Hunter. It’s almost as if selling political snake oil has become the Democrats’ new favorite pastime. Banzhaf’s Plan C is like a Swiss Army knife of political trickery, conveniently doing away with the thorny Hunter Biden issue by slipping into a backdoor pardon scenario.
So, buckle up folks. As the Democratic desperation deepens, it appears they’re more than willing to twist the Constitution into pretzel logic just to cling to power. An Obama sequel in the White House? If it wasn’t so predictably absurd, it might actually be entertaining.
