View Full Version : Who will be selected as VP?
Anyone up for a pool??:munchin
Presidential Succession: An Overview with Analysis of Legislation Proposed in the 108th Congress, March 25, 2003 – June 29, 2005 RL31761
Whenever the office of President of the United States becomes vacant due to “removal ... death or resignation” of the chief executive, the Constitution provides that “the Vice President shall become President.” When the office of Vice President becomes vacant for any reason, the President nominates a successor, who must be confirmed by a majority vote of both houses of Congress...................

My small but functional frontal lobe(S) is throbbing with the multiplicity of choices. And frankly, I am not sure the 25th should be used :mad:
This could be interesting.
The choice would indicate who is pulling the strings on those two.
Pelosi
Pelosi is too old. As for "pulling the strings," that would leave Obama; sooo maybe Obama's wife?? :eek:

Okay, what happens under the 25th when the VP becomes POTUS, and there is no VP to break the tie vote on a VP nominee in the Senate?
IMHO, Biden is less dangerous as POTUS than Harris.
Just hold till the mid-terms and pray.

The VP moves up and selects a VP, which is then voted on by congress.
As to the process of selection??
I'm also thinking the midterms
If nancy is outed and congress turns RED we may have hope..

And what if the Senate splits 50-50?
The former VP is at that point, no longer afforded a vote in the Senate to break ties.
Obviously, huge deals will be cut and favors will be called in to try and get someone to break ranks. Like a RINO or Joe Manchin.

I think the vote is Congress, not Senate.
Currently, that's Nancy buck of ...
Don't anyone kid yourselves... there are more than enough republicans standing by to play nice in the event that a 'VP' nomination ever becomes a real thing - Romney is probably loosing his shit that he hasn't had a reason to virtue signal for the media since his last impeachment party
besides - based on everything Ive heard - if the VP assumes during the first half of the term - it counts as a whole term - as a result, Harris would only be entitled to a max of 6 years in office.
if the VPOTUS takes over during the second half of a term - its doesnt count and she could run two more times, blessing the American people with almost ten years of a Harris administration.
...a hell of an accomplishment for the first multiracial female in the White House
wait till midterms - if the dems "hold on" to congress - the chances are good that Biden will be out on his ear and the shit will get real with nothing to stop them
if the dems give up control of either house - I'd expect them to try and goad the right into helping them oust the POTUS
...make it a republicans fault that Joe had to go and use it against them in 2024
Think about that - or just watch south park reruns on comedy central - both have the same impact on your mental health
Hilary is firing up the old server again and talking on the secured line.

I’m not sure anyone would know who is pulling meat puppet’s strings. Someone with that much power likely goes to extraordinary efforts to remain nameless and faceless.
Anyone we could name would merely be a chew toy for public speculation.

50/50 Susan Rice: A reward for taking the Benghazi briefing bullet but she probably exerts more influence right now than she would as VP & may decline.
I mention someone already in the admin rather than Congress because (absent a shellacking in 2022) the person plucked would need to be from a solidly blue state with a blue regime. That way the blue regime could insure they appoint their replacement of the same color. Majorities are too tenuous for them to ignore the dominoes.
The long knives are starting to come out... Did "They" show Joe the Zapurder film and explain in detail the frames not visible to everybody...Conspiracy Theory is a term invented by The Christians in Action...."Still got the shovel."
It's refreshing to see a republican say the quiet part out loud for a change...
“...the president is not going to be removed from office,”
Cocaine Mitch is taking a lot of flack for saying the quiet part out loud - but lets be honest - he is 100% correct: "There's a Democratic House, a narrowly Democratic Senate. That's not going to happen"
Even with every single democrat in government and a handful of self-righteous republicans in lock-step with a hostile media - the establishment could not get the evil Donald Trump out of office.
NOTHING NEGATIVE IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO JOE BIDEN
say it with me...
NOTHING NEGATIVE IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO JOE BIDEN
He is protected on all sides - the media will speak out just enough for them to wave the banner of 'moderately impartial treatment' but they will NEVER
EVER
EVER-EVER-EVER
...go after him with hostile intent
A democratic drinker of the house will never send articles of impeachment to the upper chamber.
A 50-50 split in the Senate with a democratic VP will NEVER
EVER
EVER-EVER-EVER
...remove a democrat from office
Voter ID is racist - go get your shot or else - wear a mask because we told you so - EAT YOUR FUCKING PEAS
that is all
You said to eat Campbell's Soup, Nothing about pea's in the other post !!!!
Are you flipping like a politician ?

You assume he is breathing and publicly functional..
I did not get past BSA First Aide 101, but his ability to function in any public event has been on a steady downhill slide for over 2 years.
I think he spirling thru a series of Transient Ischemic Attacks (S)
All dating back to the aneurysms [Hemorrhagic Strokes?] he had in 1988.

I see it in his eyes.. :munchin
go get your shot or else
That 'OR ELSE' you speak of could begin within the next 6 months and is deserving of it's own topic.
Another twist in the selection process. :munchin
Do the democrats what Harris as 47?
Maybe not??
"The Five" speculated about Vice President Kamala Harris' whereabouts Wednesday, with co-host Will Cain suggesting she was "used" on the Biden presidential ticket, but is now a liability to the administration.
"If I’m Kamala Harris right now, I’m extremely offended because you have been used," he said. "They used you to pander to a voting base to get votes. They had a minority, they had a woman and now that they don’t need her, they have shelved her because her approval rating is -19."

Approval rating down 20 points is one thing, but the whole Liberal Left MSM organization from top to bottom is doing ZERO to alter the effect.. :munchin
You assume he is breathing and publicly functional...
Fair assumption - however, I also believe that the left has already mitigated the scenario you are insinuating.
Someone has been propping this idiot up for almost 50 years and now that the democrats control so much of the government, they are doing everything they can to jam decades worth of liberal agenda into the first half of Bidens term and why wouldn't they. If the system crumbles - its "his" presidency that assumes the legacy of failure.
Biden is a political MacGuffin that keeps people distracted from the real story line. He's a huge part of the plot line - but overall, he is no more important to the agenda than the mysterious object inside of Marcellus Wallace's briefcase. Since the day that he made his famous quote, "...don't assume that I'm not corrupt" until the present day - he has been a stage prop to help others forward an agenda. He was a stage prop for Obama when he served as the VP, he is a stage prop now for the far lefts radical agenda.
Everything else is just kabuki theater.
Do the democrats want Harris as 47?
Just my own wildly erratic mind at work here, but a few things to consider with that question...
If we are to believe that Joe is just a tool - then his VP is just a component of that same tool-bag. She is where she is for the same reasons as her co-president, political expediency.
Will Cain's comment, "If I’m Kamala Harris right now, I’m extremely offended because you have been used," has one fatal flaw - He is not Kamala Harris
She is not a fool. she knows how she got where she is. she knows that she is the VP flip side to Obama's VP choice - the power brokers had to balance the scales.
She knows it - we knows it - everyone knows it.
...and so what. Trump lost. Thats all that matters. The agenda cant move forward with Trump in the White House.
Joe will sign whatever the democrats put in front of him and so would a President Harris. As far as comments on "The Five" about KH and her impact on the 'ticket' and approval ratings; what difference at this point does it make? Sure, KH's approval rating might be 10 points below the Mendoza Line, but what of it?
Does anybody really think that Chuck and Nancy are going to slow the agenda because the executive branch cant get their shit together?
Au contraire mon frère - these two denizens of dirty politics LOVE it when the executive branch is struggling no matter WHAT party it is. A struggling executive branch allows these two hucksters to push their agenda even harder. A struggling republican president is blood in the water to these fucking sharks; a struggling democrat is a just a drowning man begging for a flotation device.
Oddly, they can push even-more-haderest when its a democrat because a struggling democrat in the White House will do whatever the speaker and senate majority leader tell them to do as long as compliance with the party keeps them afloat.
I have spoken.

After the last election do we really believe that more Republicans than Democrats are going to have enough votes to win after all the counting is done?
I agree with the sentiment that Harris is as much a puppet of the string masters as Biden, she'll do whatever she's told whether to sign legislation or nominate a VP, SCOTUS nominee, dog catcher, etc.
I've said this elsewhere, so I'll repeat it here...
I'm going to go ahead and 'call' the 2028 General Election. Is everyone ready...
...well, here it is:
Kamala Harris wins reelection in a landslide victory. After sweeping changes to federal voting laws, the US Congress successfully repealed Article 2, Section 1 of the constitution. While the vote was mostly along party lines, republicans from Utah, Maine, Alaska, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania all sided with democrats to finally eliminate the electoral college.
During a press conference, several of the republicans that crossed the aisle claimed that they were simply "voting their conscience" and if eliminating the electoral college was the only way to insure Trump and his followers would never again occupy the white House, well, so be it.
Election results show a whopping margin of victory with President Harris not only winning 87% of the federally mandated popular vote, but that she also received a whopping 62% approval rating from China, Russia, Mexico, Iran, Venezuela, and Palestine thanks to the newly enacted "Let Everyone Vote" law.
Vice President Obidenton was unavailable for comment.
IMHO, Biden is less dangerous as POTUS than Harris.
Just hold till the mid-terms and pray.
TR
Much less dangerous, yes sir. Pray in deed.
Last night the Bucks County Chairman for the Socialist dine at the restaurant, the conversation centered on the current political environment. His thought were they will get clobbered in the midterms, his exact words: "It will be a rout".
He is a very close friend of JB
