Anything is possible. We had better get behind DJT.

No sure, but I believe lizards are prohibited from becoming president of the United States.

Wasn’t she born before Kalifornia became a state?

She may have been a citizen when the Constitution was adopted.

“Remove Trump and Pence from office and stretch can waltz right in.”

Even better, instead of stretch, it’s Hilary! after she’s appointed to congress and voted in as speaker.

(Now there’s a conspiracy!)

IMHO

Sounds like a piece of double-assassination fantasy porn to me.


Yes it does. Except the likes of Mitt Romney would be all for it.

Well if the 1st guy gets taken out and the 2nd guy dies from a chill and the third guy eats bad Chinese food and dies and the 4 th guy falls out the window and the fifth guy dies of a hangnail them Pelosi becomes president. Its the end result that matters, they all feel better now

Apparently she already thinks she is.

Having the US House Speaker (and President Pro Tem of the Senate) in the line of succession for ACTING President is unconstitutional because the Speaker is not an "officer" under Article II of the Constitution. And even if they are, due to the Constitutional prohibition on serving in more than one branch of government at once the Speaker must resign before becoming acting President. A former Speaker is definitely not an "Officer" even if the current one is. An acting President would hold power only by virtue of the the office (eg Sec of State) they hold (and by every other office ahead of them in the line being vacant). Contrary to popular fiction if an acting President was allowed to appoint a new VP, the new VP would immediately succeed to the Presidency.

We should have removed the Speaker and Pres Pro Tem from the line a year ago like I advised. Scum now have high motive to attempt to murder our President and Vice President and we'd have to depend on the Supreme Court to rule correctly that Pelosi couldn't be Acting President if that tragedy occurred. Trump should avoid walking past the democrats during the SOTU and Pence should be in secure location. I can see some nut like that Rashida Talib trying to pull an Ides of March/squeaky fromm deal.

Interesting idea. But, she wouldn't have to be a member of congress. There is no requirement that the Speaker of the House be a member of congress.

Because of the Second Amendment, this may well end up seeing thousands of Patriots locked, loaded and using Democrats for target practice. Time to hunker down and get your food, energy and water supplies for 90 days of no trucks, trains or food supplies reaching all those Sanctuary cities and DNC controlled areas. Personally I would head out for some Application Trail Overview and backpack it.

You probably already know this, but I’ll say it for the benefit if others: That the Speaker and PPT aren’t constitutionally eligible to be in the line of succession first was pointed out by James Madison, the “Father of the Constitution,” so it’s not exactly a newfangled idea.

She looks as if she were born before the Earth cooled.

You don't think they will allow Governor "Shock the Gay Away" to become President, do you?

Pence goes first, then Trump.

Hail to President Pelosi.

How will they get rid of Pence? There are no grounds to impeach him, and no Rep Senate would do so. It makes sense to get rid of him first, deny Trump from picking a VP, then get rid of Trump.

Were this to happen, it would be seen as a coup, and treated accordingly by at least half of the population. Whether the country would survive is problematic.
