What I wrote (I looked it up). Pence would nominate a new VP. But according to the Constitution, BOTH the US Senate and House would have to vote to confirm, with a majority being necessary in each Chamber.

What Witch Pelosi's refusal to negotiate is about now is getting those new, spunky reps in line and keeping them there. Once she has that control, they'll vote in lockstep, like dems always and 'pubs never do.

I'm giving up hope. I hope President Trump FINALLY, in that 3PM address, issues that EO to build the wall. The longer he waits, the less it looks like an emergency. Besides that, if President Trump keeps making concessions in what looks like a desperate attempt to get negotiations going, pretty soon there won't be much left to concede.

Yes. I read your post after I had already posted mine.

You’re right - if the majority of the House is needed to confirm any potential Pence VP choice, we’re never going to get it. On the other hand, I can’t see the RATS just sitting there refusing to vote for ANYONE Pence puts up as a candidate. It almost doesn’t matter, though, because if they succeed in getting rid of President Trump they’re going to have 50 million OTHER things to worry about than Pence’s VP choice.

We have to trust our President is going to find a way out of this mess by defeating these seditious bastards.

Back to DU with you then.
Does yanking the plane out from under Nancy’s nose when she’s on the charter bus to the airport sound like desperation? (Cue the “Oooh, you almost had it” memes.)

Agree it’s time to declare a national emergency at the border. It’s been an emergency for decades now. Lance the boil and start the healing of our sovereign nation. Begin the process to take back the United States of America for its people!
