Reply #22: A restraining order? On the Presidency itself? [View All]

[Kagemusha]

The rules aren't different just because it's a vice-president, it's just that the duties HE has to fulfill are basically limited to tiebreaking in the Senate (don't laugh, it might become a regular problem next Congress). The judicial branch can't just wave a magic wand and say, you can't report to work tomorrow. They couldn't do it to Al Gore any more than they can do it to Dick Cheney; they couldn't do it to President Clinton any more than they can do it to President George W. Bush. Why? Because it's a presumption of guilt reached by a court without due process being completed. It's NOT going to fly.

Officials elected in federal elections - meaning the President and Vice-President - aren't supposed to be tossed out except by other politicians, namely Congress through impeachment, to prevent the governance of the entire country from being held hostage to judges. That's the American system; it is not a fuzzy gray area. It is a black void that absorbs all attempts to interfere with the system set up by the Founders.

It's impeachment or bust.
