I'm confused. If muskrat were made speaker, that puts him in line for POTUS after he takes out orange idiot and JD useless, isn't that unconstitutional since he isn't a native born citizen? Of course, if idiot suspended the constitution...Please advise.

reply

hlayfield.bsky.social•154 days ago

If somebody in the line of succession is constitutionally unqualified to be POTUS, then it jumps to the next person. So in your hypothetical, Muskrat is not in line, and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate moves up.

One thing for sure is that Trump delivered. Plurality voted for chaos and he will deliver it on every aspect of the American life and far beyond. He hasn’t even started his mandate and it has been an exceptional demonstration of chaos already. Get set for the ride because it will be really bumpy.

There was no mandate he only one by 1.6 percent

reply

pingl.bsky.social•154 days ago

Agree and this is why I am talking about plurality but with house , senate, presidency and Supreme Court it gives them all the power without guardrails and they don’t care about having a mandate or not. They will use their power to do what they wish despite the will of most Americans.

reply

pingl.bsky.social•154 days ago
