unqualified expert in foreign affairs. His main goal was to start a war with Iran. Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran crowd. He has failed to date.

Jared/Ivanka to the rescue! Also Pompeo seems worst than Bolton in the unqualified area. Actually, everyone in the administration, cabinet, DOJ and Republican party is pretty much fucked up.

Nixon (then President) appointed Gerald Ford and he had to be approved by the Senate.
Of course, Nixon himself soon left and Gerald Ford then became President and granted complete pardon to Nixon.

So, if Pence resigns, IQ45 names someone and the Senate votes on it.

Oh, the nightmares one would get thinking THAT one through!

Trump would either have to appoint someone who could get through the House or spend the rest of his term with Nancy Pelosi breathing down his neck.

And I think anyone other than Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama would probably have trouble getting House approval.

25th Amendment, Section 1: Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Could be verrrrry interesting since I don't think the Democratic House would vote to approve any Trump nominee.

So she could shatter our glass ceiling and grind the fragments into our eyeballs.



Her or Linsey I bet. Though neither would be confirmed by the House.

And the VP could only be filled with the approval of BOTH chambers of Congress. That means the Democratic House would have to approve Trump's VP nominee ... and I think it would be pretty easy for the Dems to keep that from happening, meaning Speaker Pelosi would remain first in line for the rest of the term.

No way he was getting away with that one. The Con is already afraid of Mother's boy's ambitions.

he go public with the ignorance, disfunction, and stupidity he's seen in the WH? Does he get even...or does he sit quietly and continue to be a loyalist?

Still waiting for that eye witness to the horror show to come forward with some spine and let the world know what's at stake here. To unmask the lurking danger.

Omarosa said of Trump's presidency '...it's not going to turn out OK' but she's not got the gravitas to make headlines like that stick.
