Hubby just said he hopes that Obama doesn’t resign BEFORE January!!! That would mean Vice President Pelosi!!!!!!!!
NO it doesn't. Although she is currently next in line for the Presidency, she does NOT automatically become VP if Biden steps up. Joe would have the duty to select a new VP and have the choice confirmed by the Senate. Nancy would still be the Speaker (until Jan 3) and only if Joe then became unable to serve would she assume the office of President if Joe had not gotten a VP confirmed in time. On Jan 3rd, substitute Boehner for Nancy in that equation.
doesn’t work that way (not automatically, anyway)
if Biden were to become POTUS due to an Obozo resignation, Biden would choose his own VP.... and we can be sure he would not choose Pelosi, regardless of their leftist affinities..... Biden could not stand to be upstaged like that
but the constitutional order of succession does not apply to selecting the new VP if the current VP becomes POTUS due to a sudden vacancy in that office
