they both decide to stay there. Then Nancy can start to put things back together for the next 2 years.

...or else at least one of them had to be in Washington at all times. (I think Tip O'Neill was Speaker at the time, which probably gave them even more incentive to stay home. Although, if O'Neill ended up in charge of government, it wouldn't qualify as a military coup!)

She's the top-ranked government official on U.S. soil every day, whether those two buffoons are on U.S. soil or not. They have definitely soiled US, where ever they are.

Somebody needs send those two weirdos a message to get their attention.
