Hey, I have an idea. Maybe some outlet should give a remedial civics lesson on line to educate the electorate of how our government operates because it is quite evident we have a bunch of stupid people out there.
Here's a suggestion: before going around insulting people, why don't you check your own assumptions FIRST! Try reading the U.S. Constitution:
Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution
(...)
Section 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Well, as the resident genius here at FR, by all means start by imparting your vast knowledge to the Freeper dolts. We don’t want to continue being a bad reflection on you.
