will force him to keep Pence. As for Ivanka, the President and the Vice President cannot be residents of the same state. I think that would be a no.

I forgot about that, but it didn't stop Cheney. She would just have to change her mailing address.

However, it's considered geographically undesirable because it can then be argued that too much power is concentrated from one region. It also alters the workings of the Electoral College with regard to their casting of their final votes. Otherwise, it is a possibility.

the fundies are now trump's people. he no longer needs pence.

which faction of his coalition needs a boost? maybe paul ryan or rand paul for the ayn rand loons?

but not only could he choose Ivanka, (or more likely jr.) but could resign after the election.

and shame Republicans for not upholding the law that Congress passed in 1969.

This would be seen as shameless propping up of a family member to rule America, thinking that will save the women's vote for Republicans. Ivanka is of the Orthodox Jewish sect and her husband, possesses NO MORALS.

This law was passed by Congress in 1969 to prevent a President from having in his administration a Sibling, Child, Parent, In-Laws, and other extended family that shows favoritism, that also could lead to corruption.

I did that by looking at the equation. The Trumps are not that smart to do that without writing it down or using the calculator.

Because I fully expect when he loses he will resign a few days before the Democratic President is sworn in and have Pence Pardon him. After he pardons Pence. If necessary. Pence may have deniability.
