A question? If Biden dies or resigns, do the House Reps have to confirm the VP as President or can they open it to a floor vote between Harris and the Speaker? I heard there’s a path that could lead to that. I am way out in the weeds on this. I don’t know this deep💩. Truely I apologize. This whole thing gets curiouser and curiouser.
The VP gets sworn in as President.
Vacancy in presidency automatically makes VP president. ‘Swearing in’ is just ceremonial. The qualifications for VP are the same as for president. No one is going to seriously challenge a VP except via impeachment and removal.
