Great news to see Republicans thinking about anyone besides Trump running for an illegal 3rd term.

And who do you think will be vice president for Vance to step down for?

They going to do a weekend at bernies presidency?

Trump couldn't be any dumber than a corpse

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

He'd still be elected in a way that could be contested, whereas the speaker of the house doesn't have to be a member of congress. So the method we expect is Vance/Some Asshole and then they both resign after swearing in, making Trump president again. Although this looks less and less likely as Republicans splinter.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

That absolutely will not happen, you underestimate how power hungry all of these clowns are.

No shit, she's angling to be first lady, once she eliminates the [non-white] competition

This organization will be bankrupt from embezzlement and donor collapse by the end of next year

[–] hayvan@piefed.world 7 points 5 hours ago

As long as they can embezzle people's money, they are fine.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You say that as if it's unlikely, a lot of these bigger front end conservative orgs are basically held up by a handful of major figures. Also they tend to be shit when it comes to finances see the Daily Wire and all their failed attempts at basically anything that isn't a talk show. TPUSA is replaceable just like the rest, they'll collapse and some other shitstain organization will fill its place sooner or later.

Is this the plan to run with Trump as VP and then resign so Trump can take over again?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 26 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

He cannot run for VP, either. Same requirements.

[–] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Today I learned! Thanks. That actually made me feel better.

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (4 children)

He could run for the House, win, be voted Speaker (assuming Republicans maintain majority), then both President and VP would need to resign/die. Even this method, Trump wouldn't be President for at least like 30 days. And Trump running for the House while currently President would surely give away the plan.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

There is no requirement that the speaker of the house be a memeber of congress, it just always has been out of convention. It could be literally anyone

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Yeah and convention went out the window long ago.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

No, that's not quite how it works:

  • the Presidential Succession act states that anyone in the line of succession must also be eligible to be President, otherwise they are skipped. There have been non-native-born Cabinet secretaries who were not in the line of succession for that reason.

  • there is no 30 day waiting period, although the act states that anyone who has to become President due to this must resign their current position in government before becoming President

  • that person would gain the title of "Acting President". The act doesn't really explain what the difference is between "President" and "Acting President".

  • None of this matters because Donald Trump does whatever the fuck he wants, without consequences, somehow.

Would be wild if he lost the house seat election 🤣

Acting like it's a foregone conclusion that no one will stop him gives the people who want him to get away with it permission to not follow the law. Stop it

You didn't answer my question.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, not true.

the analysis offered in this Article indicates three things: (1) America’s voters can legally place that person in the vice-presidency; (2) that person can later succeed from that office to the presidency; and (3) if such a succession occurs, no cap on the duration of resulting presidential service will inhibit that person from serving out the full remainder of the term.

Twelfth amendment is pretty clear. VP must be constitutionally eligible for the presidency to run for VP. Which after the 22nd says no already two term/10 year presidents allowed. Regardless of what this opinion says.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

I'm sure the current Supreme Court wouldn't agree with you.

The Russian Playbook? I think that's what it's called. Or "Russian Presidential Roulette".

Edit: I think I have to explain, not everyone is old enough to remember who Medvedev is and what kind of a tool he was for Putins domination.

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

There is no way, if he became president, that JD would resign for anyone. He is worshipping Trumo because he likes him, but for the power. If he already had the power, DJT would be sidelined tout suite.

I wanna rock right now 
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone
Because I get stupid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from me if you're contagious
'Cause I'm the winner, no, not a loser
To be an M.C. is what I choose-a
Ladies love me, girls adore me
I mean even the ones who never saw me
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why, man, I don't know
So let's go, 'cause...
