California could be broke by July, state official warns

"I disagree that 3 USC 19 applies in this instance since there was not a vacancy in both the office of the President and the Vice President (there being no suggestion Biden was not “qualified”).

There is a two letter word right smack in the middle of 3 USC 19 that means everything.

3--THE PRESIDENT, CHAPTER 1- PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AND VACANCIES

"Sec. 19. Vacancy in offices of both President and Vice President; officers eligible to act

”(a)(1) If, by reason of death, resignation, removal from office, inability,

OR

failure to qualify,

there is neither a President nor Vice President to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, upon his resignation as Speaker and as Representative in Congress, act as President. “

I agree with you that it is unbelievable and almost treasonous that not one of our elected officials who are oath-bound by Article six of the Constitution to "support" the Constitution has not stepped forward to do so in this case. It is up to us to force their hand by finding legal ways to penalize those who are not upholding their primary responsibility according to the very document which defines their powers. It is this document, the Constitution itself that we should ALL be defending with every ounce of our being. This is why I raised the issue and presented the case as I did, so that others can see for themselves where to fight the issue using the Constitution itself. It's up to us, the people.
