When it comes to counting votes, let's not forget that Kay Granger's is now comfortably ensconced in an adult care facility in Texas. She may not even remember that she should retire so that Unterfuhrer Abbot can get a replacement who actually shows up. One for our side, especially if the Speaker Emerita does the same and puts an active vote on the Democratic side.

Ramaswamadingdong has gone very quiet, as has the very junior member of the erstwhile presidential ticket. One wonders if they're having thoughts about just what they've gotten themselves into.

Or, thoughts of how soon they can displace Felon34 and Darth Maga and take over, and plotting about what they can then do to the American people.

BTW, who takes over as VP if the VP is elevated to the presidency when the president has been Article 25'd?

Ford nominated a VP and got Senate confirmation which i suspect is the process. I don't remember what Lyndon did in '63.

Lyndon didn't do anything, which led to changing the law so that Ford was able to nominate Rockefeller, after being nominated to the VP by Nixon after Agnew resigned.

Thanks. I'd completely forgotten about Rockefeller! At least, Vance can't appoint Musk. What's Vance's relationship with Ramaswami?

That's how G Ford [ not a car] got into his position to pardon.
