Or, midterms give you a Republican Speaker. Get rid of Joe, Kamala and Nanshy/Maxine/whoever, and Mitch McConnell becomes acting POTUS.

Somehow I think the dems would notice and have a very deep pool of POTUS and VP replacements via presidential appointment ready.

Congress confirmed Gerald Ford as VP, and then when Nixon resigned, Rockefeller as Ford’s VP. I am not aware of any presidential appointment power, other than to nominate a replacement for Congressional approval. But it’s moot. By the time mid-terms are over and the new Congressmen installed, Foe will no longer be coherent enough to do or say anything, let alone go through the motions of appointing Xi Jing Pig’s selected replacement. He’s declining rapidly, will have to be 25th-ed or heart attacked. Mitch is POTUS by default.
