1. well, given the circumstances, it would seem obvious to do, but nothing about this is rote, routine,

or expected.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. No one in the White House

knows anything about the constitution????????????????? Interestingly, I could believe that, but someone must know how to use google to do a search........LOL

[soothsayer]

2. Good that they follow procedures

[AZ8theist]

18. The WH contacted her????

I think her little pinky knows more about how the government works than the ENTIRE administration.

What did they tell her? "Just shut up. If Dear Leader has any problems, Uday Trump will take over".

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. First time

[soothsayer]

20. Probably accidentally

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Amazing they don't know. They were quick to say..no Pence

won't be in charge.

[frazzled]

3. Jeh Johnson, former Secy of Homeland Security

just said that everyone in the top half of the line of succession (he listed 8 or 10 people) should seriously consider going into quarantine as a precaution, given the possibility of further spread.

[Hekate]

4. Good

[Laelth]

5. As it should be. n/t

6. SOP

Hardly a surprise.

[Trumpocalypse]

9. FYI

%5Bu%5D

[apnu]

27. This. "SOP"

Its actually reassuring that someone in the Executive branch is following SOP.

[MontanaMama]

7. Pence might have tested negative today

but if he’s been exposed and he most likely was, he could still fall ill. This seems like a prudent move to me.

[ffr]

13. 100%

Pence could be a ticking timebomb too.

[FailureToCommunicate]

22. Maybe, but Pence only "ticks" when he is switched "on" so...it's hard to tell.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. !!!!!!!!!!!!

(thankfully I wasn't drinking something when I saw your post or you would owe me a keyboard) )

[BComplex]

31. Ha ha ha!!!

[warmfeet]

8. Good.

President Pelosi, sounds good to me.

[Illumination]

14. Me too warmfeet! It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders since I saw him leave

on the helicopter! Haven't felt like this since before November 3, 2016! ...

[ffr]

10. Because Pence.

And because Dr's may have told tRump that he has a difficult road ahead and all his democrat hoax talk will not dissuade a deadly virus.

[orangecrush]

11. HOLY SHIT

[StClone]

26. No Shit

It's PP. President Polosi

[hatrack]

12. Were they calling to check with her as to what they were?

[SKKY]

15. Me thinks shit just got real.

[TeamPooka]

16. protocol move, no big deal here. like reminding someone they will be the designated driver next Frid

ay night

[Baclava]

17. I wonder who President Pence will choose as his VP? Ivanka? for the sympathy vote

[wnylib]

21. Pence could take over temporarily

while Trump is too sick to function, under Article 25. But it would not necessarily be a permanent takeover of the presidency, requiring a VP appointment. That could happen eventually, but I don't think they are at that stage yet.

Looks like we might finally get an Article 25 on Trump.

[DENVERPOPS]

25. Not a chance

she and Jared are gonna be really busy with the New York State Attorney General, State Courts, and Federal Courts for some time to come........

Besides, I guarantee you that if Trump has Covid, Ivanka has Covid.........just saying

[BComplex]

32. He can't nominate a vp unless trump dies.

But if Pence is sick, then Nancy is next in line; not a vp that hasn't been confirmed.

[getagrip_already]

28. don't believe they are doing it for protocol for a second......

First, the gop and the wh has already signaled they will challenge the succession act of '47 in court. The chain of succession is apparently a law, not an amendment. They will drag it to scotus before pelosi is sworn in.

Second, when have they EVER consulted a dem, especially pelosi, on anything? Really, they didn't even bother to tell the biden campaign he was exposed tuesday night.

Lastly, these are hyper political animals, not gov't workers. They don't do anything without a political angle, and planning to calmly hand over power to a president pelosi just isn't in their thoughts even fleatingly.

The only angle they could have is to try to scare republicans into what can happen if they don't stay in line.

[AwakeAtLast]

30. THIS IS WHY ELECTIONS MATTER! n/t

[lindysalsagal]

33. Music. To. My. Ears.

At some point, when the insanity is really behind us, we'll all wonder how we tolerated it for 4 long years.

[lame54]

34. Bet that was a hard call to make
