Donald, go back to bed.
I think this is a valid question. We should prepare for whatever is coming.
I don’t know though. Maybe sabotage the voting system enough to cast doubt, then tie the whole thing up in litigation? This still might not do it because I think the electors of a state can make a decision of behalf of the population if the voting doesn’t workout as planned.
Agreed, it also makes me wonder how long could the country go without a president.
I mean, if they delay it, Biden just stays president, right?
No. That’s not how the system works at all.
Short of a violent coup, the president’s term ends at noon on January 20, 2025. At that point, there is simply a vacancy in the presidency. It would then be filled according to the line of succession (VP, speaker of the House, etc)
So the President’s term is up, but not the VP? That logic doesn’t seem consistent.
They both end at noon on January 20, 2025. In such a scenario, it is likely - but not guaranteed - that both would be vacant. At that point, it would go to the (new) speaker of the House
So, it would go to Kamala?
The most likely scenario is that both the presidency and vice presidency would be vacant. That means it would go to the speaker of the House, most likely to still be Mike Johnson.
But if Democrats have an unexpectedly good result, they could control the House and elect a new speaker. Similarly, Republicans could replace Johnson with someone else.
Why are you trying to give them ideas?
