Yes. So here’s how it works. The vice president is the backup president. If the president is out the VP is sworn in. If the VP serves more than half a term it counts as a term. If less, it doesn’t count and they can still serve two full terms afterwards.
I’m not going to speculate on his health. I will, however, say that there was a conspiracy theory going around when Biden was elected that two years and one day into his term he’d mysteriously die so that the Dems could install the first female president who could be president for the next two years plus two terms.
Now I’m not accusing anyone of anything, but I’ve noticed a lot of things that they accuse the Democrats of they are actually doing. Will we get president Vance in a year and change, who would still be eligible? Could he reverse enough of the publicly batshit insane policies (while leaving in the quietly batshit insane ones that fuck us over for decades) to win support from low information voters?
I actually don’t believe this, but every time someone says Trump is gonna die I remember how adamant some Republicans were that iden would die and they’d have to deal with 10 years of being bossed around by a woman.
I’m a hair older than him.
I hurt pretty often. I get tired more easily. I have hangovers now. If I jump out of the bed of a pickup my knees make noises. I could go on for days about it.
And it’s great. I don’t worry about what people think and I have adventures. I do what I want outside of work. And I have stories and hobbies and old friends.
A dry man ain’t worth knowing.
Unless they’re being sent into a war. Then at 18 they’re men.
Where did you find that picture of my beard?
Yep. And for anyone saying they’ve never heard that nickname for Clinton, Bubba Clinton is also mentioned in the docs.
I watched that episode of Harvey Birdman this morning while ignoring a meeting.
Awww, look at the triggered little snowflake! How cute!
That’s the way I’ve heard it used. This person knows/is complicit/is involved in a thing but they ain’t said shit yet. It would be the opposite of the old cliche phrase about a stool pigeon singing.
That’s painfully accurate in some places down here. And if you’re ever through that way again there’s some decent fishing in Lake Texana. Got a whole mess of catfish out there a couple of weeks back.
The ad gets into your brain. just like this liquid gets into this egg. Although in reality. it’s not liquid, but gamma radiation.
Are you saying I can’t wear fleece lined tights?
If you want to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe.
If your friend’s car looks like this, check on them. When my car was that bad it’s because my mental health was in the gutter.
I’ve got a stack of old 14.4 modems I’ll sell them if they’ll grift on that for a bit.
He’s already lost his job and been released.
So it’s because originally people did vote for the vice president. It’s left over from before the 12th amendment. So part of your vote is for the line of succession.
I’m not terribly happy with it, but of all the things wrong it’s way down on the list of things I’m not happy about.
Our presidential election is on a set schedule and never changes. I’m not thrilled about that either because there’s no real way for the people to recall a jackass. And as the current jackass has shown, the position is really just an elected king that’s kicked out in a few years.
