While this scenerio seems unlikely and contrived, the Dems HAVE to be contingency planning for Biden not finishing his term, and scheming to get Kamala out of the way as well.
There’s this little thing called the Constitution.
Kamala would assume the office.
Obama is no puppet.
He’s a full-fledged participant in bringing down the United States.
I see this as a distinct possibility of him being made speaker and a sitting President until 2024 and it may not matter after 2024, knowing how fast the Dems may try and move before 2022.
Kamala can step aside, in which case the Speaker gains the Presidency.
Obama is not eligible to be POTUS ever again.
But when does following the constitution mean anything?
Just like Trump can only serve one term since he already served a single term.
If he’s speaker and both Joe and Kamala resign, who becomes President?
The problem is the 22nd Amendment says that no one can be elected to the office of President more than twice. The dirty, scheming demonrats will just say, "Well, he wasn't elected President."
Does the fourth person than become President?
It’s possible that Joe and Kamala resign and Pelosi becomes President and Obama the Speaker of the House.
senate pro tempore is after speaker
OK, the which member of the house might they choose instead of Obama?
I believe the Constitution says he cannot be elected ever again. But the Speaker role may provide a path.
And if there some sort of "national crisis" which causes the 2024 election to be cancelled, Obama could be president for life.
No.
With Kamala and Nancy the next two in line, I’d say Jill Biden is not a bit worried. Joe isn’t going anywhere.
OK, then if the Dems were able to choose someone from the House to be President, who would they choose?
2 terms or 10 years max is the limit on Presidents. Even IF Biden resigned and Harris was out of the way Obama could only possibly have 2 years.
"Section 1:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.
Joe has to live for 2 years in office....then he is off to the memory wing.
This whole scam was planned in advance.
Who knows? Pelosi is the Speaker now. I don't think that they will need to worry about naming a replacement in 2023.
