If Trump Triggered A Doomsday Election Scenario, Would President Pelosi Come To The Rescue?

Wouldn’t his Vice Presidency be in limbo at this point, since no one has been made president?

I would assume he wears a smaller watch to make his tiny hands look larger.

I understand Roberts is now mainlining Tums.

My mistakes are from assuming I would always have a secretary present to clean up my mess / all my bad!

If it looks like the Speaker of the House is headed for the Presidency, then the D’s could add insult to injury to Drumpf by making Hillary Clinton Speaker; there’s no requirement that the Speaker actually be a member of the House. Then Pelosi could be made Speaker when Clinton is elevated to the Presidency. I only suggest it because of the poetic justice of it; on the merits, I think Pelosi would be a much superior President to Clinton.

Looks like he picked the wrong Presidential administration to quit sniffing glue. I know I feel that way.

Kudos, Kate. Great research and well written. I learned more than I thought I already knew.

it seems like, among other things, a) there has to be an election or else there will be no house and b) [after being reelected the house still has to make her speaker again]*, which they did last time on the promise that it would be the last time. But I would love to see her as president!

*I forgot the bit about the speaker not needing to be a member

I didn’t get that memo.

I guess that I’m not as principaled as you are.

Neither did I! :wink:

I’ve never been a principal, but I do have principles.

Well, the Maginot Line DID hold! The problem with the Maginot Line was that it was not extended into Belgium, a French ally. (Of course the Belgians are involved somehow, of course they are…).

So, that, and the fact that the French government was shot full of Defeatists, is why the Maginot Line failed despite also succeeding.

There are, I believe, five basic sets of codes (civil, civil procedure, commercial, criminal, and criminal procedure), and (back in the day, anyway) each of them were contained in a paperback book you could easily carry around in a medium-sized purse. On the one visit I ever made to a French lawyer’s office, the only law books present were those five paperbacks on her desk.

This concision and clarity is why even states outside the Napoleonic Empire freely adopted the Code–and why, after the Emperor’s fall, the former client states kept it.

The Speaker does not have to be a member of the House, so the new House could elect Biden speaker and under the which variouos scenarios, he becomes president and the House then re-elects Pelosi Speaker. Also, if the electoral vote is dodgy, the Congressional committee of the whole, where Democrats are in the majority which counts it can simply refuse to do so. Then the House refuses to cast its votes. On January 20,Trump’s term ends, the Presidency is vacant, and Speaker Biden takes office.

EGADS!!!

I’m sorry, I honestly hadn’t intended to post a pre-makeup “morning picture” of Trump… I’ll try to do better next time.

Uh, not quite so far-fetched a scenario today lol

Forego is also correct, it’s simply a variant spelling of forgo. Are you a guy?
