Listening to Biden answer questions by the press. And I thought listening to Trump was painful. This guy is an absolute sad case. How can they let this demented old fool run?

When we think about it Biden is a "known" name linked to obama. If he can ride his relationship with obama, he will get the liberal and Democrat v**es. Regardless of how senile he is. It is not Biden that the DNC wants in the White House, it is the person they tell him to select as VP. That individual will be a less known, and therefore not as marketable, a black or muslin female, better yet both. Biden being senile is a plus. If he is elected, it will be less than a year and he will be dead or declared unfit to be president. That would mean the VP becomes president and she then can select the VP. Pelosi has been positioning herself for that job. This is a chess game, think 4 steps ahead. It is not the King that is powerful, it is the Queen and Bishops.

You are so correct in this assessment. I just hope and pray Americans can see what the "BAIT AND SWITCH" nightmare's about … Liberty or a unified s***ery to the l*****t/Marxist thugs.

When the VP becomes president, does that VP choose another VP? Did Johnson choose a VP when Kennedy was assassinated? I do not think so-I could be wrong-will have to dig out my Constitution again. Heaven help all sides if Pelosi becomes president. Dems must lose the house, so she is not speaker. Then it won't matter much what President Biden wants or doesn't want. If Republicans finally grow a pair, they might get tough and cause and disrupt and resist as the Dems have all these years. Best case, though, they have no majority. Not because they are Dems, but because they have such boneheaded ideas, put forth because of their total TDS.

In 1967, an amendment to the US Constitution was ratified (the 25th Amendment, to be specific) that, among other things, rectified this problem. Section 2 of the amendment set a procedure to be followed should the VP spot become vacant: The President is to nominate a replacement VP, the same way he or she would nominate a Supreme Court justice or any other major federal office, and that nominee would then become VP once both houses of Congress confirm the nomination (most nominations require the Senate, but since VP is an elected position, the folks who drew up the amendment felt it should take both houses for a VP).

Thanks. I did not know that. That both houses must confirm is a good thing. Of course, that means that either can hold it up for a very long time-till the next e******n, perhaps. Where does the confirmation begin-House or Senate? Makes no difference, I would think.

In the House. This has happened twice, 1973 Vice President Spiro T Agnew resigned as part of a plea bargain after being caught up in a scandal. President Richard Nixon nominated Congressman Gerald Ford to become the new VP, and Ford was confirmed by Congress. In 1974, Nixon himself resigned, which meant that Ford became President, thus leaving the vice presidency vacant again. Ford then nominated Nelson Rockefeller to be the new VP; Rockefeller was confirmed and then became vice president.

I recall both of those things very well, actually, since I was 40 years old in 1973-hmmmm. I knew that Ford was named VP, but did not realize Nixon had to name one. And I also remember Rockefeller being VP and wondering why Ford would want him has second in command. I sometimes wonder how our history would have been different if Ford had not pardoned Nixon so soon, and rather let the system play out-I think that cost him the e******n. I remember thinking at the time that you cannot pardon some one who has not been convicted, but apparently you can. I further thought that some one was covering up-did not buy the let the nation heal stuff.

There were two v**es for impeachment, one before he resigned and the full house 12 days after he resigned, therefore Nixon was accused of crimes. He was technically not impeached while in office. The impeachment never made it to Senate. Most students of the Constitution believe that Ford could not pardon him because the trial never happened. It is my belief that Nixon had dirt on Ford and for not gong public, Rockefeller became VP and a pardon for Nixon if the Senate met and found him unsuitable for office. I think Ford jumped the gun and no one challenged the pardon.
