I smell a new revolution just as the one against King George.

Yes, then she could have the Pres., VP killed off and she would become President.

“Yes, then she could have the Pres., VP killed off and she would become President.”

And then people supposedly on our side will just say, Oh well, “I had a job and responsibility to support my family and well, I just could not bother to take part in any American Patriot uprising or any kind of resistance, I might have got killed, I hope my children enjoy their servitude.”

<>"I think the Speaker has to get 218 votes to be elected. He/she needs an absolute majority, not just a plurality of the vote."

That would be "He/She or It"...these are democrats we're talking about here... :)

Is it possible? Yes. Will it ever happen? No.

The important votes are in the caucus. When they get to the floor, they vote as a block. That is how they protect their committees.
