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

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They going to do a weekend at bernies presidency?

Trump couldn't be any dumber than a corpse

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I dunno. A corpse can't make the shitty decisions he does.

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

His people will just "interpret" what the corpse means, much as they currently "interpret" what he means after one of his verbal diarhhea's. The orange cunt can't speak normal English anyway, and half the country has been sane washing him for years. Nothing would change if he wasn't actually wasting oxygen by breathing.

he can’t be vp because he can’t be president, thank god lol.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can you explain? I thought the amendment thing said he just can't be elected president. Or does it say he can't be elected vice president too?

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

if you are ineligible to be president you cannot be “in line” to be president such as a vp.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why wouldn't he be eligible? The wording of your amendment specifically says "shall not be elected" clearly that means that becoming president by other means is fine, otherwise it would have said "may not serve as president" or just may not be president.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

because one, if elected as vp, and needing to become p is, by some odd logic considered “elected.”

it’s why voting is important.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But it doesn't say he can't be elected as vice president, only he can't be elected president. By being elected as VP he's not being elected president.

You've just said it can't happen, not explained what would actually stop it happening.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i reckon it’s not as black and white as i portrayed it to be earlier because, it makes sense to me that someone who is not elig to be pres through voting cannot therefore be vp through the same channels of voting.

there is debate.

i hold however hope that it will get shut down and become moot anyway.

I guess there also the big if of whether an overweight 79 year old with clear signs of dementia will be around when the next election happens.

So they'll pretend he's alive up to 2 years and 1 day in, that way you can have 9 years 364 days of Vanced.

“Weekend at Nazis…”

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days 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 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

Exactly. There are a LOT narcissist MAGA psychopaths calculating their strategies for the post-Trump era. They want him out of the way.
