OH-OH....has anyone looked at the Egyptian Constitution?

Under their Constitution, if a President's departure is temporary - the President will be back - then the President can deputize a VP or Prime Minister.

The USA has its eyes on the current VP (Omar Suleiman) to become the head of the transitional government. Note, however, Mubarak's departure can not be characterized as "temporary." He is not coming back!

If his departure from the Presidency is permanent (which this one is), then the Egyptian people, according to the Constitution, should be looking to the speaker of the People's Assembly to assume the presidency and an election must be held within 60 days. See below.

I suppose some people think it would be ok to ignore the Constitution (I don't) but that could be a big problem with those Egyptians who are not wild about VP Suleiman taking over even if just a transitional government.

Oddly enough, the Egyptian Constitution was originally adopted: September 11, 1971.

Greta babbles about that which she knows knowing about.

In contrast, Egypt will hold their *scheduled* elections in September, and by that time Greta will be acting as though she knew that’s what would happen all along.

She has the IQ of a sterile pig.

So, are you this charming when your real name is on the line, or just when you can hide behind a pseudonym?

I assume Mubarak will resign before September to allow Suleiman to succeed him as President and head of the ruling National Democratic Party. For the moment, he’ll stay on.

So your contribution to rational dialogue is simply a personal attack. Smooth.

Apparently, Egyptian Constitution may too requires the interpretation of a religious scholar.

May your camels be fertile.

“should be looking to the speaker of the People’s Assembly to assume the presidency and an election must be held within 60 days.”

So Suleiman becomes the speaker. He knows everyone’s dirty secrets, so no opposition to this

Now why would Obummer and crew let something like the “rule of law” based on a constitution get in the way?

No, my contribution is pointing out that Egypt’s scheduled elections are not in jeopardy, something that Greta is incapable of seeing at this point in time due to her low IQ.

Alas, posting the truth offends many. Most people prefer facts to be “softened” to be considered acceptable.

Too bad.

Screw that. Are they all paying for mandatory health care? If no, throw them in prison!

Greta is contemplating the constitutional significance currently, in the event of Mubarak’s departure now.

You might be having trouble with reading comprehension, hence your contributions are irrelevant. It’s understandable, it fits with being crude.

What a lovely comment, especially when it sounds as though Greta has actually read the Egyptian Constitution. I'm guessing that you read no farther than the excerpt. Well you sure told her!

Newheart why are you going after Southack? He’s a tremendous contributor for over a decade. Cut him some slack, we all need to blow off some steam now and then. Many of us remember when Greta was accepting money from the treason networks and consistently bashed our country. If she gets an occasional verbal backhand here, she probably earned it.

And you reinforce the stereotype that conservatives are misogynists.

Are sterile pigs dumber than non sterile pigs?

I thought pigs were smarter than many animals?
