I posted this as an answer in a thread on a different topic. It just flashed thru my mind with all this business of DC being empty.

In 1961 President Kennedy asked the NSC to war-game a scenario in which the Soviet Union launched a nuclear Pearl Harbor and successfully decapitated the federal government. The NSC lawyers reported that the state governors, for the most part, could reconstitute the Senate under the terms of the 17th Amendment. The House could only be reconstituted via special elections.

However, concerning the president and vice president, the only body that could elect them was the Electoral College chosen in the last presidential election. This body could be reconvened to make the choice.

Until reconstitution could happen, the military would be in charge.

How could Russia do a "decapitation" strike against the current admin, even with nukes?

I mean, Dementia Joe's out of his head, and Kamala gives...you know.
