Yes but you have to also consider the 12th Amendment that says, "[N]o person constitutionally ineligible to the office of president shall be eligible to that of vice president of the United States."
Trump indicted….again

While you two are in the beginning stages of romance , ending in a game of corn hole. The rest of us are worried about the country and it’s people wanting to live freely.
This is the part of studying law that I enjoyed the most, being an anal-retentive pedant, and all. When the 12th was passed, the eligibility referred to was clearly those qualifications laid out in Article II, plus a lack of disqualification upon an impeachment and subsequent conviction as laid out in Article I. But when they passed the 22nd, does the eligibility for election to the Presidency go back in time and become part of the qualifications for holding the Presidency under the 12th?
Spoiler alert: scholars do not agree on a single answer.
Nahh. Only the lunatics are worried
He picked exactly who he wanted fyi, and the chances of him pulling the plug are zero.BTW this disappointment in Harris isn't new.
Kamala Harris Had Her Chance. In 2024, Biden Needs a New VP.
That is, if he runs for reelection, which he shouldn’t!slate.com
You really are three steps behind on this?
Comedy
I didn't say he will dump her. I said he should consider it. If you're going to blow shit at someone for what they said, try to make it what they actually, you know, said.
I threw these names out in another discussion a while back:
Polis
Shapiro
Tester
yeah, I know I know, three white men.
I believe John Quincy Adams and Andrew Johnson are the only ex-Presidents that later became members of Congress.
It doesn't seem inconceivable that an ex-President could later run for the House and become Speaker of the House, thus part of the line of succession.
Shapiro needs to stay full term in his current role. Tester is a no because Dems would lose the seat.
Buttigieg. I’m not even joking anymore.
They both served before the 22nd Amendment, obviously.
You weren’t at the meeting a few years ago, but it was unanimously decided that no guy could ever say or write “lovely.” Women could not burp or fart tunes. It was all in the memo.
I have been a Pete fan since the 2020 primaries, but his image needs some time to recharge.
LOL. Criminal obstruction is now "failure to cooperate"?
Doesn’t have to happen today. Roe and the trans wars have helped shuffle any real problems to the back so he’s been able to blend back in. Supply chains seem to be getting back up to speed. Slowly, but still. 0% of that might have been a result of anything he did but he looks better now than he has in some time.
I like wonks. I’d even consider technocrats viable if it weren’t for the AI cloud.
Threadjack because I can't remember which AI thread is active.
Why isn't the solution to simply not worry about AI, but to get rid of automatons? The drone that kills its operator is only a danger because it has access to the trigger. If the AI only has access to the system identifying targets, and the human operator is the only one with access to the firing mechanism, doesn't that solve the problem?
I’m not sure I fear T-1000s running around. I’m leery of the immense change to our way of life which could occur over a very short period of time motivated solely by profit.
What you’ve described above is similar to exception management. Build a process which works 90% of the time or covers 85% of all possible scenarios and you deal with the rest.
AI will wipe out swaths of jobs overnight. And once corps shoot that shit up…well.
goat I want make really clear, see you tomorrow, I am going to bed!
At that point your fate’s already sealed. And I mean. What the worst that could happen? Somebody finds out? Pshaaawwwww
What a coincidence it's on the same day of the reading of the payments to the Biden Crime Family.
Hunter's investigation is now going on over 4 years. Trump's indictment comes in months, just in time for the trial during the Presidential campaign.
2-tier system of justice.
Yep, that's the Democrat way - keep your opponent off the ballot.
That's some real Democracy right there.
British troops protected us, too, until we decided to kick them out.
Guess which side Aloha would have been on.
95% of pre-Revolution British citizens in the American colonies didn't agree with violence against the Crown.
All it took was the Sons of Liberty to light the match.
Common Americans won't take up arms against the government. But the ones who might could cause a helluva reaction.
Pretty average, as hot TV lawyers go.Speaking of news babes... Danya Perry, just on MSNBC as a legal analyst/commentator... yowza...
Hilarious watching the local West Palm News, on the scene at Mar-a-Lago, talking to a few Trump cult members gathered on the street. A real Mensa party, for sure.
