If Buish & Cheney are impeached, then Nancy Pelosi becomes President, yes?

[BigBearJohn]

Just a thought mind you...

hahahaha

[Octafish]

1. Yes.

Ha ha ha ha!

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. It's tricky. I think there is a provision that Cheney can appoint a new veep

so the trick is in the timing and preventing that.

I think.

Hopefully wiser heads here can tell you for sure.

3. nixon appointed ford

congress had to approve.

11. Needs confirmation from BOTH Houses, though.

4. if they are both convicted at the same time, yes

But if Bush is convicted before Cheney, I don't know what the Constitution says about who become VP then.

8. It would depend on whether or not Cheney had time to appoint

a new vice president and get that person approved by the Senate.

Lots a luck with that Dick.

5. If so, let's do it.

[kysrsoze]

13. Our first female Prez! Go Nancy!

[rsmith6621]

6. Why Must We Go There....

.....Lets just savor the win for the next 24 hours.....lets have a few victory's on the floor of both houses....Let demonstrate the DEMs are the party who can lead.....then maybe we can talk about Nancy becoming PREZ.

[Blue-Jay]

7. No.

Impeached means "formally accused".

They're only out if they (both of them) are convicted or step down willingly.

9. Here's the thing..........

we gotta impeach cheney first, then *.

* will try to block his impeachment by replacing cheney with someone who is even more repugnant than cheney.....oh, wait! There is no one more repugnant than cheney!

[Oak2004]

10. Nahhh....

Both are guilty of the same crimes, both get impeached in the same bill and get tried and convicted together.

Then yes, it's Hail To The Chief for President Pelosi.

We can dream anyway :)

[progressivebydesign]

12. I like that idea.. she'd be a great prez. n/t

[BrotherBuzz]

14. Cheney would retire for health reason to place a firewall between

Pelosi and the Oval office before that would happen. Interesting exercise to think who numb-nuts Bush would nominate.

[Vidar]

15. Cheney is too arrogant & selfish to ever retire.
