do you REALLY want Condi Rice as Vice President?

What are you talking about?

Are you aware of the order of succession?

The Speaker of the House is next in line.

Yep. Al Haig reminded us of that which we were supposed to have learnt in school - and didn't...;-)

The order of succession you mention wouldn't apply in this situation. Just ask Gerald Ford.

Or read the 25th Amendment.

That's presidential succession. The Speaker is not next in line if the VP resigns. The President gets to appoint the VP if Cheney resigns.

The order of succession only applies to the incapacity of the President. If the vice presidency is vacated, the President just picks someone to be confirmed by the Senate. Hey, he really could make it up to Harriet! ;-)

Current Events/History was not your best subject, eh? :o) Read the 25th Amendment. Can you say Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller?

And are you aware that the President can appoint who he wants as Cheney's successor? Line of succession has nothing to do with it.
