Similar to what I was thinking. First Democrat delivering proof to the Supremem Court that Zer0 is not a citizen gets appointed Vice President for Biden!
If 0bama is shown to be ineligible, McCain would continue to be president. After all, McCain had the highest number of electoral votes among the eligible candidates.
Beg to differ.
The 25th Amendment reiterates what is stated in Article 2, Section 1: that the Vice President is the direct successor of the President. He or she will become President if the President cannot serve for whatever reason.
Moreover, even if Obama is shown to be ineligible, Biden was still elected to the office of Vice-President. McCain was elected to nothing.
Even the liberals make fun of Biden. Their gameplan would really be screwed if he took over mid-term.
The Dims will go to him at some point and tell him he has to resign for the good of the party. Hillary’s whole staff are politicos. She saw this coming and she’ll step in.
Hillary versus Sarah in 2012.
Michelle Bachmann for veep.
My hope is that growing numbers of citizens and their representatives will demand that Obama prove he is a natural born citizen. Perhaps we will see key documents “leaked”.
Right you are! Misplaced decimal (and perhaps an extra shot of Bushmill’s this evening...)
Thank you for that correction!
Add Hatch and Bennett too!
It's still is gradually gaining steam from what I read. It's the sort of thing that could explode at any time. The sooner the better.
Well said.
You are assuming that 0bama is the President. If he is ineligible for election, he never was president. The eligible candidate with a majority of valid votes becomes president. McCain.
Biden would still be VP.
Well said !
Some claim that McCain would be president, since Obama (if he is not a natural born citizen) never was president.
But...Even Biden would be better than Obama. I feel that Biden is at minimum loyally committed to his nation.
Even the McPain family members seemed to want Obama to prevail, being the camp followers that they are.
No they won’t listen. They will flock to her if there is a need to do so.
Biden would do anything to retain power just like his compatriots. I do think he would dislike surrendering to the enemy but would do so if push comes to shove. Obama though is another story.
Not at all: they will vote as they are instructed to do. They are the most loyal voters in the history of voting.
You mean, “Ole Krusty”?
Aweeeeeeeee... this was a wonderful little bedtime story! Thank you for posting this!
It is really hard to beat an incumbent President in the primaries. You could say that Gene McCarthy forced LBJ to drop out in ‘68. However had he chosen to continue the race, LBJ possibly could have eked out a renomination.
Before that you would have to go back to at least 1896.
Hillary would be 69 in 2016, the same age as Ronald Reagan when first inaugurated.
