Pelosi wouldn’t be much closer than she is now. The new President has to a appoint a VP, and while that requires confirmation by the Senate, I think that wouldn’t be a problem under the circumstances (unless they appoint someone so off the wall even the Dems don’t like the person).
Of course, Pelosi is such a vicious witch that if the possibility opens up, I think even the odious Kamala should be careful walking down a flight of stairs in front of her…
The nomination requires a majority vote in both the Hose and Senate, as per the 25th amendment.
If nazi pelosi has designs on the Oval Office as a way to cap her “glorious career” (let’s face it, she’s not getting any more popular with her own constituency in the House, may be a good time to bail), then kameltoe’s VP nomination isn’t happening.
I’m not so sure approval of a VP would be that easy. The Senate would be 50-50 with no tiebreaker, and that makes a huge difference in terms of passing legislation. I could see the GOP saying no, they won’t give the Dems that tiebreaking vote by confirming a VP. We’ve gone without VP’s before, for multiple years. Didn’t seem to be an issue.
