Can we go ahead and put this guy in charge? At least can Pence be president now, please.
“Designated survivor.” Isn’t that the term used for the one witness to a massacre who is left alive to bear witness of the horror to others?
Um, it’s far from clear (as in actually doubtful) that an undersecretary serving as secretary because the incoming administration can’t make the trains wreck on time is actually in the line of succession under the succession statute.

Typical mixture of hubris and incompetence.
Works for me.
In case of a catastrophe??!!
Why hasn’t he been president since 12 noon on January 20th?
Oh, if only god had a sense of humor.
He was confirmed as secretary by the Senate. A medical doctor who has worked the VA for some years he was one of the least contraversial of Trump’s picks. Frankly Trump picking him was a shock. He is respected by all within the Veteran community.
Oh. Well that’s quite different.
Never mind.
