08 Dec 08 - 03:26 PM (#2510144) Subject: BS: Bush Quits From: Louie Roy I heard that Bush was going to resign and Dick Cheney would be the President. He would then appoint Condoleeza Rice as the First Black Woman Vice President. Then Cheney resigns and Condoleeza Rice becomes the First Black woman to become the President of the USA. Then she appoints Sarah Palin to become the first White woman to become the Vice President of the USA |

08 Dec 08 - 03:34 PM (#2510150) Subject: RE: BS: Bush Quits From: PoppaGator They've got no more than about a month, now, to accomplish all those resignations and swearing-ins. Think they can do it in time? To do so would require more competence than they shown in the prior 7 years and 11 months... |

08 Dec 08 - 07:53 PM (#2510298) Subject: RE: BS: Bush Quits From: Little Hawk Well, yes, I know we're all primates...technically speaking...but you have to remember that none of us are literally either black or white, yet we use those terms to describe ourselves, don't we? It's sort of like that. |

08 Dec 08 - 09:29 PM (#2510319) Subject: RE: BS: Bush Quits From: Riginslinger I fact, that would make a more interesting scenario. Bush quits; Cheney becomes president; Cheney quits; Nancy Pelosi becomes president. Then she refuses to give it up, and there's a big fight before the former speaker and Barack Obama. |

08 Dec 08 - 09:49 PM (#2510333) Subject: RE: BS: Bush Quits From: Genie John, you're right. If both Bush and Cheney resigned before Congress confirmed a new VP nominee, Pelosi would succeed Cheney. But only till Jan. 20, 2009. Still, that would dash both Hillary Clinton's and Caribou Barbie's hopes of being the first female US President. : D |

08 Dec 08 - 10:00 PM (#2510339) Subject: RE: BS: Bush Quits From: Bee-dubya-ell I thought the Speaker of the House followed the VP. Only if a new VP hasn't yet been confirmed as per the provisions of Amendment 25. For the Speaker to be elevated to the Presidency, both the President and Vice President would have to die, resign, or be incapacitated within a matter weeks, at most. Once the vacancy in the VP spot is filled, the Speaker goes back to being #3. |
