The majority of the House GOP caucus have exposed themselves as corrupt Derp Staters. They wouldn’t even get rid of Liz Cheney. President Trump would not get a majority of their votes to be Speaker in January 2023.
Secondly, again, where are you going to get 67 Republican Trump-supporting Senators to impeach the present illegal regime ? Like the House, most of the present 50 Republican Senators are also corrupt Derp Staters who were quite content to watch as the government was stolen in November and certified in January.
Primary these RINOs in 2022. Death to the GOPe!
Third, the Speaker being in the line of succession is almost certainly unconstitutional. Article II provides that Congress may designate through legislation which “officer” should act as president if both the presidency and VP are vacant or if they are unable to act as such; the best reading would be to limit the line of succession to “officers” under Article II (i.e., Cabinet secretaries, etc.).
The word “officer” as used in such clause cannot be understood to refer to any old officer of government or branch thereof that Congress chooses, or else Congress could designate the Governor of NY as the next in line, which would violate the entire structure of the Constitution and our system of government to boot. Designating judicial officers (such as the Chief Justice), or congressional officers such as the Speaker (who aren’t even “officers of the United States” under the Constitution) also would violate separation of powers, and having them resign to act as president would mean that they no longer would hold the office that made them eligible to act as president in the first place.
“Father of the Constitition” James Madison himself made that constitutional argument when Federalist congressional majorities placed the (Federalist) President Pro Tempore of the Senate and Speaker of the House in the line of succession (it was a partisan move to prevent Democratic-Republican Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson from being second in line after VP Adams), and Congress finally corrected the error in 1886, only to have that idiot Harry Truman bring it back because he wanted “elected officias” atopt he line of succession; yeah, the fact that Nancy Pelosi and Pat Leahy were elected by a few hundred thousand San Francisco or Vermont moonbats sure gives them legitimacy to preside over all Americans.
If a Speaker tried to claim that he was Acting President, the Secretary of State (next in line after the Speaker and PPT) would go to court and claim to be the next constitutionally eligible officer after the VP, and, unless SCOTUS chickens out by calling it a “political question,” the Secretary of State would win.
