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

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??

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.

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

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.

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
