Pray for Joe Biden’s health

Not a clickbait post. Considering the #2 and Lord forbid #3 in line, we all need to pray for Biden’s health over the next 4 years.

not sure what #3 is
only way speaker would be VP or president is if both those offices were vacated at same time
if joe pulls and elvis and passes on the crapper, then camel toe would be pres. then she has the authority to pick a vp, now would she pick nancy? NOPE , dont believe so, becasue nancy is a power hungry cow that is running unchecked in the house, where as if she were vp she would be done as it were.


now if joe and camel pass through the gates at same time, then yes nancy would be the pres..OMG
but we can all rest assured, joe is out and it wont be long , 2-8 months maybe. there is a reason nancy is putting 25th out there everyday, she wants everyone used to it when they declare joe a has been. we as Americans need to keep pressure on about china, hunter and ukraine, toss in the pedo stuff joe has done
i applied for a job in his admin, i want to guard the hen house.
department of state is hiring to, can you imagine if conservatives infiltrated DOS, we could rule the whole world

While Kamala Harris would assume the role of POTUS should Biden be unable to fulfill his duties, that does NOT mean that Pelosi would ascend to the role of VP. Contrary to popular belief, Harris would then nominate a new VP who would have to be confirmed by a majority of both houses. With republicans holding 50 seats, they could theoretically block a potential VP replacement. In reality, I suspect Romney, Murkowski or one of the others would cross over to support a nominee from Harris.

I clicked "submit" and powerboatr had beat me to it.

To think that we even have to entertain these scenarios is a bit depressing to be honest.

More than "a bit". It's monumentally frightening and depressing. My wife and I both turn 79 next month. We fear for our country and our offspring's future.

I think you all seem to have missed a major flaw in the 25th Amendment that has not escaped Nancy Pelosi. If they use the 25th to get rid of Joe (and while I first thought this was the reason for mentioning so much but I now doubt it), Harris does not become president. If they remove Biden by declaring him not able to execute his office, Harris will execute the powers of ACTING President. This is the interesting part of section 4 of the amendment. It does not take the president out of the office, just removes the ability to use the powers of the office. It even allows for the president to come back into power. That means that there is no vacancy in the VP's office for her to nominate someone too. Logically, that means that if something were to happen to Harris while she was acting president, the speaker of the house would become the new VP and acting president. After all, Biden could not appoint a new VP because it had been decided that he was incompetent to execute his duties and that would be one. And of course, in this scenario, with Pelosi as VP and acting president, if Biden were to pass away, Pelosi would become president.

While I consider this to be a nightmare scenario, it will not come about. Biden has already said what is going to happen, which is why I think no one is going to use the 25th for any reason. At some point in the near future (and I am betting they are hoping for it in late January, 2023), Biden will decide he cannot handle being president any longer for medical reasons. He will then resign. Harris will be sworn in as president and get to appoint a new VP. She will not select Pelosi, but will pick a new younger up-and-comer in the party. This scenario allows for Harris to serve ten years as president (two full terms after taking office with two years remaining) and gives them plenty of time to groom the replacement and train that person in how to be president the way the party wants them to be. If you want a nightmare - one that is both more likely and scarier than Pelosi becoming president - consider this scenario with Vice President Ocasio-Cortez.

Sorry, my call of what I think is the likely plan. The flaw with the plan is that they believe the Democratic Party will retain the power and stay in office and that there will still be a US around that whole time. I think both of these premises are highly unlikely, but I have been wrong about things like this before.

There is no way the lowest wattage executive in the history of what was the USA can maintain the office that long. Complete puppet, sure, but there are too many who want to ascend; the internecine wars would become epic.

Sorry Steve, I really hope you are wrong because I had not thought of that particular scenario.
I agree with Oldgringo as well, I too have never been more afraid for our country or heirs.

As scary as the thought of VP AOC would be, October of 2024 is the earliest it could happen as she is only 31 (born October 13, 1989). Even if age were not an issue, I seriously doubt AOC would garner 51 votes in the senate and 218 votes in the house to be confirmed VP for the duration of Harris' term. There are members of her own party who don't like her.

Thank you. I did not bother looking her up. I am glad her age prevents it. That is one less nightmare to think about.

I'm betting that Biden resigns for "personal" and / or "medical" reasons before June 30, 2021. I think he was always intended to just be a placeholder and he understands and agreed to that arrangement.

Or is forced out should he resist implementing any of the agenda of his masters.
