“Had this resulted in his death, you would have seen either House Speaker Boehner, or SOS John Kerry becoming next in line for the Presidency.


It would be Boehner,not Kerry.

Boner really would be worse. Joe is just verbally incoherent. Bony is ideologically incoherent.

Well, no.

The President would appoint a VP that would have to be confirmed by both sides of Congress.

The SOH would become president if they were both killed. The whole succession thing was settled in the late sixties thing, I believe. Cannot remember the amendment.
