If heals up takes the job, do the rats just install a new vp?
She would propose a new VP which requires Senate confirmation.
We went through this after Nixon resigned and Ford took over...
“If heels up takes the job, do the rats just install a new vp?”
Yes, I think so. I think Harris would have the authority to pick, but I don’t know what ratification, if any, would be needed.
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.
Which, given the current state of Congress, is not a given.
Harris would nominate a new VP who would need to be confirmed by both the House and the Senate.
Harris can recommend one, but both house and Senate need to approve, we have a rich history of leaving the position vacant, making speaker number two in line. My guess is that will be the result if Biden resigns.
