Turdiffs--the bigly solution to everything

I'm sure that unlike present White House tours, it won't be free. Probably something like $100 a head, with perhaps a 10% discount for anyone wearing a red MAGA baseball cap.

 

It's in the East Wing and not yet finished. Trump ran out of gold for all the filigree and is sending Elon and Big Balls to Fort Knox with a dozen freight trucks to fetch some more.


Everyone knows there is no gold in Fort Knox, but I'm sure it can be confiscated from somewhere.  Maybe Venezuela?  Canada already sold all of it's gold so that's right out.  Maybe seize all their maple syrup and he can swim in it before you do his nightly tongue bath?

Jon Stewart remarked that since the throne room won't be finished for several months (at best), the Turd will only be able to enjoy it for a couple of years and then turn it over to the next President. So is this a sign that he doesn't intend to leave when his term is over? Or does he plan to blow it up when he leaves?

 

The only good Turd is a dead Turd.

where exactly is this golden throne room and how do we get tickets to see it?


Probably in some Rothschild mansion in the City of London. Lol

I fear he might try some Constitutional loop holes that could get him another term. 

 

I can think of at least one that would probably be technically constitutional. Although it would certainly violate the spirit thereof. 


The outrage might be phenomenal, and not all of the next eight assassins would miss.

 

That is not to say he won't try it. He knows that the immunity from punishment for his 34 felonies will expire once he leaves office. He won't even get as far as the helicopter on the White House lawn before they scoop him up.

 

I don't see any such loophole in the relevant clauses of the Constitution. Which are you referring to?

 

It's likely that the Turd will croak or be offed before this becomes an issue. But one delicious scenario has the Republipigs trying to hold primaries and dredge up a candidate while the Turd announces that he doesn't intend to leave office.

 

Maybe he starts his own third party; maybe he tries to "retributionize" whoever is nominated (even Vance; ESPECIALLY Vance). Either way, he splits the conservative ticket and the Democrats are handed the White House on a silver platter.

I hesitate to even speak of this for fear it will be used but I have to figure "they" have a lot of people smarter than me and if I can figure it out they already have. 

 

It would require majority approval in the House of Representatives. 

 

It has to do with the presidential line of succession. It is true that in order to become vice president you have to qualify for president. However the next person in the presidential line of succession is the Speaker Of The House.

 

So if one becomes Speaker Of The House and both the President and Vice President resign then the House Speaker becomes President. 

 

You may initially think this would require one to win an election to the house of representatives. But that would be incorrect. The House of Representatives elects a Speaker Of The House. There is no requirement for them to be a member of the house. Anyone can be chosen. 

 

This could be closed with a simple amendment. Something like: "Whenever the presidential line of succession is triggered a new Presidential election shall be held within 180 days."

But in this scenario, could the President or VP, both of whom have just resigned, be nominated for Speaker? And wouldn't the current Speaker have been automatically elevated to President, with a VP of his choosing?

Here's how it could work. 

 

The Vance/DeSantis ticket wins the election. They take over on January 20th. On the next session day The House of Representatives chooses Trump as the House Speaker. Vance and DeSantis both step down. Trump is now president.

Apparently, there's no prohibition on a two-term President being elected to Vice President. So it's even simpler:

 

Vance runs with Trump as VP.

 

Vance/Trump wins.

 

On Inauguration Day, while Vance is taking the oath of office, Trump sneaks up behind him and slits his throat.

 

Trump is now President, and preemptively pardons himself for the murder.

 

The Turd reign continues.

No. That would not work. The 12th amendment requires that anybody running for vice president be constitutionally eligible for President.
