Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary has tested positive for coronavirus. One of President Trump’s personal valets has tested positive as well.

he White House’s internal challenge with coronavirus has brought the official presidential line of succession into the forefront.

Read the 25th amendment. It does not say if the general officers get a case of the flu, they are removed. There is a lot more about it and there is a series of actions that are required to be accomplished.

It’s the flu folks. As of April 11, according to CBS news, over 18,600 have died from the virus in over 500,000 cases according to John Hopkins. That equates to just under 4% of the cases end in death. Trump and Pence will have all the medical assistance that is in the US. The are not disabled, dead or resigned. They can still do their jobs with the care they would be getting.

This is just another distasteful fantasy by the libs to frighten the weak in mind. They should be slapped in public.

WTF,they never give up with this sh*t. Every fantasy about how Nancy will be prez is so damn comical. Ice Cream Stretch Nancy has as much odds to be prez as Hildabeast Clinton.

She would have to resign her seat in the House.
Once Trump recovered she would be out of office.

Pelosi is in a strict quarantine hoping this will happen.

She's probably medicating herself with gin and tonics, out of an abundance of caution, of course.

If President Trump is incapacitated let Melania run the country. If it worked for Woodrow Wilson it can work now. /s?
