That's news to me. Could you cite the exact clause of the Constitution that says the Speaker would have to resign before becoming President?

This is nonsense: "Under the principle of separation of powers, the Constitution specifically disallows legislative officials from also serving in the executive branch. For the Speaker or the President pro tempore to become President, they must resign their position, at which point they are no longer in the line of succession. This forms a constitutional paradox to some."
The Speaker on becoming President would no longer be Speaker. Were the President and Vice President to die, the Speaker of the House becomes President. That's the law, and that's what would happen.

what really should piss people off is the fact we have servicemen flying airplanes tha often times are older than they are.
My buddy flys an ANG KC135 that was made in the 1960s.
Give her a Fokker trimotor....

Yeah, right. You may believe it but it won't happen without a court battle.
To: taxesareforever
It would happen before the President's body is cold, and no court would have any say in the matter. BTW, you may be interested in the blog at my website. Cheers,

It's mentioned in the article. The difference is Hastert lives much closer to DC.

Yes, he does. But she certainly doesn't need that big of a plane to go nonstop to San Francisco.

Pelosi: I want the same plane as the President!
Dr. Rumack: Surely you can't be serious.
Pelosi: I am serious, and don't call me Shirley. Or I'll subpoena your ass and drag you in front of a Congressional hearing!

It would happen before the President's body is cold,You mean that SCOTUS would get involved? That, I believe.
To: SandyInSeattle
I agree. Give her the same size plane with an extra fuel tank and be done with it.

I thought that Nancy said that the terrorist threat was manufactured by the Bush admin to steal the 2004 elections. As I see it she should live by her own threat assessment and fly commercial.
