Senate.......53 Red, 47 Blue.
Nobody gives a shit about the House.
Please you're just butthurt. Pelosi is 3rd in line from the Presidency...let's hope Trump and Pence both choke on Pretzels. Originally Posted by Sistine ChapelCertainly not a concern.

President Gerald Ford was Speaker of the House when Nixon resigned. Nixon's VP Spiro Agnew had already resigned and did not have a VP during that period. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

So a Speaker has never immediately ascended to the POTUS position.
In today's world that would be like Pence resigning and Trump appointing a replacement, which obviously wouldn't be Pelosi.
So I stand my statement that there is no major concern based on precedent alone. Originally Posted by eccielover
