If Nancy becomes Acting President, can she stop the SCOTUS nominee?

If that's true, that's most calorie-free fun that you can have.

1. Executive order

2. Apply Trump logic to that...

Elections have consequences - Nancy Pelosi is the next in line of succession after Trump and Pence. If it comes down to it, she is not "acting President", she is "Madam President"...and then give them the full force of their own duplicitous horse shit...torpedo EVERYTHING. Withdraw the suit for the end of ACA....pull the nomination of ACB...end all immigration bans.

If it comes down to it, its open fucking season on them all.

3. Everyone goes straight to Nancy. While a lovely thought, the chances that Pence AND Trump die

are slim to none. The chances that Trump gets seriously ill and perhaps dies are much better, which SOUNDS good, until you start to think about all the disengaged Republicans who would love to dump trump and elect Pence.

If trump dies, he'd better damned well die after Nov 3.

5. If Trump goes down, I don't think the GOP would automatically replace him with Pence.

There would be a fight the likes of which we’ve never seen to be chosen as the nominee.

IMHO.....

6. They are the ones who were nominated. Do they just get to throw out their own rul...

...never mind...

4. She would be the president, not the acting president

So of course she could withdraw the nomination.
