Here's a thought

[PJMcK]

It's becoming clear that Trump was probably exposed to the corona virus. Perhaps Pence was, too.

So, if they both get seriously ill, could the 25th Amendment make Speaker Pelosi the Acting President?

1. Again with the cruel teasing

But yes, that's what would happen. Fingers crossed.

3. These thoughts just pop into my head! (n/t)

2. Maybe that's why the Senate is staying in session, they have

to come up with something.

4. +1

5. I think they would both have to die and die so close to each other that the survivor wouldn't have

enough time to choose a VP and have him or her approved by both houses of congress. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

6. What if they didn't die but were incapacitated?

(I know, they already are!)

If the president is going to be under anesthesia, for example, he has to sign a letter temporarily giving power to the vice president. Presumably, the same thing would have to happen if the VP then ended up unconscious, too.

I know this will never happen for multiple reasons. It's just intriguing.

10. That was quite a Freudian slip

Oops. I fixed it. Probably a spell-check mistake.

However, I'm always happy to get a laugh, whether cheaply or inadvertently!

11. I most definitely appreciated it

Thank you

12. I don't know. Who decides?

7. Do you think the trump family would admit they have it?

[PJMcK]

8. Of course not!

Trump has already been tested. How do I know? Because they said he wasn't.

They lie about everything!
