If a president of the U.S. dies or leaves office, the order of succession is the Vice President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives. If Biden is elected and dies or leaves office, Kamala Harris becomes President, and Nancy Pelosi becomes Vice President. Terrified yet?
I believe that tif Kamala becomes President she gets to choose her Vice President. I believe Nancy becomes President only if Joe and Kamala both die in office
At this point, in the chess game of electing a president, the Republican party is in check. If by January 20th, there is no clear winner in the election, the Speaker of the House takes charge. The line of succession isn’t totally covered in the case of a non-election. On January 20th at noon, the President of the United States becomes a civilian until he has taken the oath of office. If, perchance there is a no vote, the office becomes vacant and the responsibility goes to ....Nancy. Now, whether she is supposed to pick a President or whether it falls to congress to pick one is where the problem lies because it simply wasn’t something that the founders thought could happen. If neither D. Trump or Biden wins by a landslide, there’s gonna be trouble in River City.
Now, it appears we might have another new and different issue to consider. There are several reasons that Biden might not make it all the way to the election process, even. With his health and mental issues, Nancy Pelosi is already setting up a plan to have him removed if he does win; but it is possible that he could be declared incompetent even before then, because of the memory problems he is having. Not only that, but there is the whole Hunter Biden/China/Burisma thing going on, and it looks like they are going to be investigating it. People are concerned about this and asking what happens if Biden is switched out just before the election. Since many people have already voted, would the Biden votes simply carry over to the new candidate, or does the whole voting process have to be done over again, and if so, will it be for both Biden and Trump, or just the ones who voted for Biden ? Can that still happen with the election so close ? Another interesting thing that I ran across today, is that there is already a website owned for ClintonHarris2020 ! ! It was registered over two months ago, so someone must have been planning for a switch just before the elections, it seems ? When you go to the website, there is nothing there yet, it just says that the domain name has been purchased. I looked up the “Who is guard” name, and what it does is hides the name of the person who actually purchased the domain name, but refers emails and such on to the actual owner.
Years ago, after the VP, the Pro-Tem of the Senate was in line. Although I do not buy that DRA was President of the United States for one day, but it is an interesting concept. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rice_Atchison
I was listening to Juan O’Savin the other day, and he said something interesting. He is not saying that this will happen, just that it is possible. If they impeach Biden, or he is removed from office or dies, then Kamala Harris as the vice president would normally be next in line. However, Juan O’Savin said that she actually does not meet the eligibility requirements to be president of the United States, and she would be disqualified. He said this is already in the works of disqualifying her even before Biden is gone. Should that happen, then we would have McCarthy as the next person in line, because he is the Speaker of the House. But, here is where it becomes really interesting…… When McCarthy was finally elected Speaker, there was a clause (to get enough votes), that he can be removed by just one person objecting to him, and then they would vote on a new speaker. Apparently, the speaker can be anyone that congress votes in, so if they decided to vote in Donald Trump as the Speaker of the House, then he would become the acting president until the 2024 election, and this would not affect him being able to still be a candidate for 2024.
The "crazy wing" of the House Republican party seems to be just playing games to get attention. They are not serious about governing. Committee hearings have become a joke about nothing. While the Republicans have the majority in the House, why don't they spend some time coming up with a comprehensive immigration policy? They always complain about immigration. Here's their chance. They don't want any fixes, because then they wouldn't have the issue to run on next cycle.
To be as brief as possible, a new immigration bill has to go through the committee process and then put on the calendar for a debate and vote. If a majority votes the bill through, it then goes to the Senate and a committee is appointed to go over it and formally debate the issues and again, vote. IF, a bill makes it through the Senate, then Joe Biden gets to tear it up the same as he did the one that was in place when he took office.
Why do we need new laws? They don't enforce the existing ones. And Nancy is correct; even when the GOP has a majority they DO NOTHING.
Yes, everything starts with committee hearings. But hearings in the House about stuff like the 2020 election, Hunter Biden , weaponization of the gov't ( ), rehash of the 3 yr long Durham investigation, get even impeachment. These are just to stir up more doubts and disinformation and are not productive, imo. Bills do not have to mean just laws. Resource allocation, immigration judges, streamline processes, policy on Dreamers, work visas. And how about how we are penalizing US students due to prohibitive costs of higher education? Most students, particularly in advanced science and math, now come directly from foreign countries because they are more qualified.
