I already held a special election at my house. Trump won again!!!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Gnome thinking.

Who has the graphic?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Hillary will never be President, they need to just get over it.

I know I am.

Quite relieved really.......

[rightwingcrazy]

She left out
0. Toss the Constitution into the trash heap.

Understandable; in her mind and the minds of her fellow travelers, that has already been accomplished.

[Lurkinanloomin]

[Nifster]

Delusion runs deep for the left

[Secret Agent Man]

Now remember, SOME democrats have to still be alive to vote for the dead ones.

Which is why such a socialist wet dream fantasy will never work if they would ever attempt this.

[DesertRhino]

“call for elections”? This isn’t England, nothing in the constitution allows anyone to “call an election”.

And that crazy old grandma has no business being trusted with a hot dog stand.

[Gideon300]

Geeeezzzzz, it’s that darn Constitution thingy again!

“Constitution? We don’t need no steeenking CONSTITUTION!”

[nopardons]

So does mordant stupidity.

[Impala64ssa]

Is Sally Kohn related to Marty Kohn? (a little Spanish lingo)

I'm thinking this is the party we should have for Hillary:

[Beowulf9]

Hahaha! My fav!

[Leaning Right]

Here ya go:

Sorry, Sally, but that won’t work.

You have to follow The Constitution.

If the current prez and vp are impeached, the House Speaker becomes president. If the speaker is unable to assume the office, the senate president pro tempore is next in line. Then are the secretaries in this order: state, treasury, defense, AG, interior, agriculture, commerce ...

There is NO constitutional provision for a do-over election to give it to Hillary. Sorry, Sally, but your brilliant idea isn’t brilliant.

Doesn’t the line of succession take place?

[LukeL]

Assuming then you impeach Ryan, it would go to the Senate Pro Temp, impeach him and you get Rex Tillerson, impeach him and you get Mnuchin, Impeach him and Mad Dog is the one.

Interesting is the fact that if Ryan did become president by succession, and he did not name a VP in time before he was impeacher , it would also require that the House not name a new Speaker in the same time span to go to Orrin Hatch.

Basically the line of succession was clarified in law due to cold war fears of a decapitation attack that left DC a smoking crater. We needed to be able to know who was in charge and the line of succession does just that.

[Vendome]

Stupid...

Line of succession

2/3rds of nothing ever happening

Zero chance of support by a plurality of Americans...
