“Read the Constitution. First comes Kamala. Then the Speaker of the House. There is no Mikey Obama in the transfer of power.”

Actually they are right. If Kamala becomes president to replace Biden she then appoints a vice president of her own choosing.

I once argued the same point you are and had to be set straight.

This is wrong.

She gets to appoint nominate a vice president of her own choosing.

It still takes a majority vote of both chambers of Congress to confirm the new Vice President.

I would think the Republican House would stall the vote to keep the VP slot vacant. This has two benefits: 1) it takes away the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and 2) it puts the Speaker next in line if something should happen to Harris.
