I kinda wanna see trump die before the electoral votes are cast. Like idgaf about trump, but I just wanna see what happens, are they gonna vote vance in the EC vote, or are they gonna vote for the dead trump, and if vance, whos the new VP. Like this would be unprecedented and it'd be interesting to see how the process works.
I'm not as picky about the circumstances. Meteor. Lightning strike. Vigilante. Chokes to death on Putin's dick. Stoned to death by a mob of angry nuns...
I'll take whatever we can get; the sooner that fucker bites the dust, the less death and destruction around he'll be able to sow.
Sad as fuck that our legal systems / checks and balances are so absolutely impotent that we're left hoping for a heart attack or something to literally save the planet.
Choking on a big mac on live tv would be so hillarious.
The best possible outcome would be that he dies like a year in, Vance becomes president. Trump's policies become deeply unpopular, and even more so once he is dead and they are now Vance's policies. Republicans lose congress in the midterms, then Vance does something so unpopular that the nation screams for impeachment.
Isn't it obvious? It's gonna be Gaetz. He has nothing better to do, after all.
Girls volleyball get cancelled?
AFAIK If Trump is voted in, and Vance takes over day 1, Vance can have 3 presidential periods, because he can still be elected twice.
That is not correct. If you serve more than two years, it counts as a term for the purposes of the 22nd Amendment.
Ah OK I wasn't aware there is that rule. I just know there have been presidents serving more than 2 periods. Because they took over from another president.
