As an european, what scares me , it is that Biden is the ACTUAL president. If he suffers from dementia, who is really in charge now. Who takes the decisions? Usa are involved in at least two major wars and dictate the policy to the europeans. Who is responsible of that? If biden cannot be a candidate , why it is an actual president?
25th Amendment. If the President is incapacitated, the VP takes over.
It's not a great situation, but I'll take it over the guy promising a dictatorship.
The VP takes charge, we have the position for a reason. One of the better elements of the presidency is that there is a clear line of succession and even a good bit of "we dont fucken know whos alive" backups.
Also Reagan was already president and utterly demented.
And look how that turned out...
The cabinet, and the heads of federal agencies who are appointed by the president (everything from the FBI to the EPA), is doing the actual running of the country. In particular Biden just signs off on whatever they tell him to, as an individual, I don't think he has been making any serious foreign policy decisions himself.
Chief of Staff is Jeff Zients, a former Bain Capital guy

He almost certainly has a great team doing a lot. Biden isn't perfect but knows how to delegate. He doesn't need to be that lucid if he can delegate well. He still may not be reelectable.
Other than a few examples of stuttering or mis-speaking, something which we all do (yes, even you youngins), can you provide any clinical evidence that Biden has dementia?
Because all I see is the proven effectiveness of GOP marketing and it's influence even on people who are disinclined to believe it.
They're both going senile
You should watch how you talk. We do more than any of you countries. We send more aid and supplies to Ukraine to Israel than any of you fucks and your golden leaders you love so much. We train and run war simulations with allies in hopes of preventing war. Our economy is doing the greatest it has. All that with a 'dementia riddled' leader. You should wish you accomplish what that man does.
