The disconnect is Hanky and you apparently want to have a discussion about irrelevant shite, instead of talking about mentally deficient geriatrics running the country.

Because we got past page one. You didnt.
Shes lost it, she cannot function.

Given the fact that there is more than ample evidence That Feinstein is in fact incapable of handling her own, or anyone else's business, isn't that precisely what the POA means?

It is just weird.

No one should be defending Feinstein, Biden or Strom Thurmond making decisions on our behalf.
They are great examples of why the system so heavily favors the incumbent.
I'd throw Don Young in there too. Dude was in cognitive decline 15 years before he died.

Would you hire her to handle your affairs? No? Then it is, isn’t it?

I wouldn't even put her on speakerphone to Ukranian businessmen to get her 10%.

If she was incompetent, she would not be able to execute a power of attorney.
Hank have explained it accurately. Powers of Attorney are a delegation, an appointment, not an interdiction. The person who signs a power of attorney does not lose any power and can revoke the delegation as quickly as it is granted.
Some have asked why would anyone do this? There are a million reasons. When my kids went to college, I had them sign powers of attorney in favor of me so that I could pay bills for them and if they needed medical treatment and were unable to consent, I could do it. When over 18, powers of attorney are generally required. My wife and I have standing powers of attorney. I hold power of attorney for my father, who is totally competent. When we closed on our home my wife was out of the country. The closing attorney required a special power of attorney. When you purchase a car from a dealer you execute a power of attorney that allows the dealer to file the registration on your behalf.
Powers of attorney are for contingencies and planning. The mere execution of a power of attorney means nothing by itself.

Signing a POA means nothing relative to competency. I agree that she appears incompetent and personally think she should resign. But Hank is right that the initial idea was flawed.

Hank,
I believe that is completely about losing mental acuity given the vote taken this past week in the Senate where she was told to say "Aye", and then she went on a speech, and was told to say "Aye" two more times, looked very confused and finally said "Aye".

The initial idea isn’t flawed when Stevie Wonder can see that she is terribly mentally deficient.

Look, you don't understand the concept of a Power of Attorney. That is fine. You are a layperson, and you aren't necessarily expected to have that understanding.
But you are ignoring a half-dozen lawyers telling you that you are wrong. That is just intentional ignorance.

But execution of a PoA in favor or her daughter does NOT establish NCM status, as alleged in the OP.
Why is anyone still arguing this point? It has been explained again and again, and not just by me.

yessir, do not need anything signed to tell me that woman has major cognitive decline.
She represents her constituents very well.

I understand it just fine, douchebag. Incapacity to handle your affairs take on quite the other definition when you have displayed that you have bats in the belfry. Apparently it’s your job and others here to play up the too busy part, and downplay or ignore the crazy as a shithouse rat part.

I don't understand the point of the article or this thread over POA.
DiFi is less mentally capable than Joe. She had to be told how to vote the other day.
No one 90 years old should be in Congress.
