Good morning..something to ponder...
1. Because of Cheney's medical condition, we can assume that Bush and Cheney have a clear understanding of when Cheney would step aside because of medical reasons, were that ever to happen. And the WH has already planned for that eventuality..
2. Under the XXV amendment to the Constitution, a VP is confirmed by a MAJORITY vote of the House and Senate..It specifies that. But the Dems in the Senate would turn the hearing into Alito x 10,000...and if, heaven forbid, the Dems won the Senate...well,
;-)
