NO McCarthy becomes new speaker-—
Constitution says so. Succession clearly spelled out.
Wouldn’t that be something?????
If Brandon and Commie BOTH depart without time to slide a substitute thru the Senate (cf Pres. Ford) then the GOP House will have to pick a new Speaker because we’d have President McCarthy. Who’d then pick a new Veep, whom Machin and Sinema could get approved, to give GOP 49 votes and the tiebreaker in Senate.
