The blow back on Biden and Harris is stronger than I thought would happen. A surprising amount of liberal MSM and pundits are mad, some even calling for Biden to step down. Biden and Harris were MIA on Sunday talk shows. Harris is apoplectic: ‘You Will Not Pin This Sh*t on Me!’ Kamala Harris Refused to Face American People as Afghanistan Collapsed.
I believe, unfortunately, the Afghan disaster is going to get worse over the coming days and weeks and the blow back for Biden and Harris will grow.
Is it possible that Biden and/or Harris are forced is resign? Many folks think the normal line of secession would then be Pelosi. That line of succession is only if President/VP die or are so incapacitated as to lead (stroke, etc.)
Remember the Nixon/Agnew/Ford scenario? Watergate was brewing and Agnew had a tax storm ready to take him out. The offer was given to Agnew to step down or face a public tax investigation that he would lose. Agnew steps down, Nixon (with Senate approval) gets Ford in as VP. Backroom deal made between Nixon and Ford that when Nixon steps down Ford will pardon him. Done. Ford is President and gets Nelson Rockefeller as VP, again with Senate approval.
Neither Ford or Rockefeller were elected, they were picked/appointed. The "normal" line of secession was not followed, i.e. the Speaker of the House was never in the equation.
Could this happen again?
This is new territory, as Biden was not really legitimately elected. I am no Constitutional scholar, to be sure, but I am betting that the line of succession does not apply here.
from your link
“A well-placed source inside the White House informs Becker News that Kamala Harris objected to addressing the nation on Sunday. The source reports that Kamala Harris could be heard screaming, “They will not pin this s*** on me!” Furthermore, the source reports that Jill Biden was at Camp David deflecting calls being made for Joe Biden.”
(good ol Dr. Jill...)
