Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has tested positive for coronavirus. 87yo. 3rd in the US presidential line -- nm* - budice Nov 17, 14:48 16
- McConnell isn't the senate leader? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 15:11 1

        So, dismantling the proper functioning of government, then? - znufrii Nov 17, 15:46 3
        
        Yeah, but in this case I think it's more by accident than intent. They're too stupid to know the difference. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 15:48 2
        
        The people feeding trump the names aren’t stupid. - znufrii Nov 17, 15:49 1
        
        This is true. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 15:51
        
        Is she appointed for 10 years and Biden is stuck with it? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 15:44 2
        
        Four. She’d be finishing out a 14-year term that began in 2010. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 17, 15:47
        
        I think so. -- nm - pmb Nov 17, 15:47

- Sure, why not? -- nm - Vladimir Putin si Nov 17, 14:07 1
  - in post-soviet Russia, constitution change you! -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 14:11
- No, it was discussed at length when Obama left and maybe please please could he be Hillary's VP -- nm - ⌚👻🦃🏈 Nov 17, 14:06
- I sort of asked this yesterday. apparently presidents are limited to 10 years total, so they could be eligible for succession after 2 years. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 14:05
- No, per the 12th. - Reagen Nov 17, 14:03 5
  - If you want to be specific, the 22nd amendment is only concerned with election to the office, not eligibility thereto... -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 17, 14:17 1
    - It would be weird that they explicitly forbid it one way, then let you sneak in the back way. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 15:28
  - but could technically be appointed VP with <2 years left in the term. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 14:06 2
    - I don't think that argument would hold up. The intent was to not have someone serve more than two terms but acknowledging that you shouldn't be - Reagen Nov 17, 14:10 1
      - I'm hiring Rudy to argue my side, so good luck winning that one. -- nm - mafic Nov 17, 14:12
