Yes and no. The third in line is Speaker of the House, who assumes the Presidency. Then a VP is named and approval depends of House & senate............
That's a joke, right?
“ they are doing what the people who installed them want them to do.
This is true for many republicrats as well.”
Thank you! Someone on Freerepublic gets it. Our pols are employees yees of the donor class. They work for the donors not the voters. The donors installed them and keep them in office, so you would expect the politicians, Repubs as well as Dems, to do what their bosses want done or not done.
“Actor”
No point in reading beyond that word.
Who knows.....snx?
Would that it were so.
However, a US society where such a revalation would matter would have voted differently on November 8.
He’s a good guy...................
“What, exactly, waits in the wings........?”
Who, not what. Whoever Obama wants...
The CBS article was just the preparation for the stories that are to be written after the new Congress is sworn in. Then, when the laptop is mentioned, it will be considered “old news that has been investigated by the FBI, and the Bidens have already addressed”. And people will be told “nothing to see here, move along”.
No wonder Republicans lose all the time. They want to lose.
“The third in line is Speaker of the House, who assumes the Presidency. Then a VP is named and approval depends of House & senate............”
So timing is of the essence.
They have a proven corrupt senile crime boss sitting in the Whitehouse. They want him, and likely her removed. So they either stage an unfortunate accident, or they enlist deepstate to dispose.
If they complete this task during the lame duck session, then the speaker is still nanzi Pelosi. And, likely for the vp slot, Gavin nuisance.
They wait to carry out their deed until after January 2’nd and there will be a new speaker. Who BTW, is already hedging on impeachment hearings.
This thought, is why I posted the YouTube video previously in this thread.
If you begin the video at about the 5:00 minute mark, the timing of these events plays into the lefts agenda.

25th Amendment
Amendment XXV
Section 1.
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
Section 2.
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
Section 3.
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
22nd Amendment

Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2.
This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.
What a waste of our attention and energy. Even if charges were made against hunter, his daddy would simply pardon him. R’s do not control senate, so even if articles of impeachment were passed by house, the senate would not convict him. This is just a distraction from more important issues.
“He’s a good guy...................”
I believe you but is he an astute observer of our politics?
Yes, for many years...................
I recall Nancy Pelosi wanting to add clarity, or an Amendment clause to the 25’th, while Trump was still President.
Knowing their ground game is years ahead, knowing they would rig the 2020 and fast forward to today, is it possible her concerns would be to carry out nefarious actions during this lame duck session?
I also suspect they may grant blanket amnesty with voting rights to these freeloading illegals. Following that, eliminate the filibuster and then packing the SC thereby making the Constitution null and void. They already do so to a degree because they own the federal courts.
Woods should have his Twitter voice back.
That’s no small thing, it’s why he was banned by the previous Twitter regime.
I hope he’s right.
