There are no results for them to be beheld to.
Actually it would be President pro tempore of the senate, who is currently Patty Murray. And I’m pretty sure her term isn’t up!
That position only comes after the Speaker of the House. Remember the West Wing episode where Bartlett has to step down and the VP post was vacant. The Republican Speaker of the House was sworn in and then relinquished the position when Bartlett was able to return.

Join the movement. Looks like it’s still pending in North Carolina…
That shit would never happen now.That position only comes after the Speaker of the House. Remember the West Wing episode where Bartlett has to step down and the VP post was vacant. The Republican Speaker of the House was sworn in and then relinquished the position when Bartlett was able to return.

Correct. The Republican Party became fundamentally broken under Obama. Blocking his Supreme Court pick was the final straw. If Trump is dispatched this fall, I wonder how long it will take for the Republican Party to dig out from the huge grave they dug for themselves? MAGA dies with Trump and there is no one that will be able to take the baton.
Oh there are plenty of stooges waiting in the wings for when Trump eats it. If there's one thing the Republicans are brilliant at that the Democrats have never learned, it's how to be an opposition party. They're overflowing with nationally known candidates waiting in the wings for the God emperor to die believing that they could be the Kwisatz Haderach. The Bene Gesserit have made sure of it. Wait, what are we taking about?
Actually, regardless of whether Trump or Biden wins (I still assume rationality in a slight majority, so Biden) real change will only come if Democrats control the Senate and House.
You might need to take a moment for self reflection when your biggest and most important supporters think it would be better if you died.Top Democrat donors turn on Biden
Major Democrat party donors have turned on Joe Biden following his disastrous performance in the first US presidential debate, with one adviser saying the only options now were that he “bows out or dies”.www.yahoo.com
It would be very funny (and again Veep like) if Kamala got to be the first woman president for 6 months.
Dems did control The House and Senate just a couple years ago. Along with Biden’s election in 2020 The Dems held control of the House and eked out control of the Senate. They could only pass a small portion of their agenda. Not much real change occurred unfortunately.
You are correct. My assumption in this scenario is that no one votes for ANY official and since the House rotates every two years, all current members would have expired terms, therefore no members to elect a Speaker, and no persons in the chain except the pro tempore. Though in said scenario I assume Dems would effectively lose the Senate and probably the current appointee…That position only comes after the Speaker of the House. Remember the West Wing episode where Bartlett has to step down and the VP post was vacant. The Republican Speaker of the House was sworn in and then relinquished the position when Bartlett was able to return.

U.S. Senate: Presidential Succession Act

But I don't see this happen. If Biden is not stepping down Trump will win. And we saw lat time what happened if he does not win. Then he claims the election was stolen and keeps his grip on the party. Once he's dead it will be an interesting battle for Maga where everybody claims to be hid true heir. But I do not see much of the republican party left that it is interested in democracy.
Anybody's fault but their own.Watch them try to blame the loss on Bernie now like all the idiot Dems did when Hillary lost.
Bernie Sanders on Biden’s performance: ‘Not terribly articulate to say the least’
In his first public comments since President Biden took to the debate stage last night, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said the president failed to clearly articulate his achievements or vision for the future. “I have to also be very honest with you and tell you that I think the president was not...
Joe will step down. It just can't be instantaneous, there is a need to organize a logical plan.
