Constitutional question...

[PTWB]

If Trump is temporarily incapacitated and Pence assumes the presidency during that time, would he still be eligible to cast a tie breaking senate vote?

[Rule of Claw]

1. Doubt it.

But there could be 20-30 Senators with this.

This is a crisis already.

[NYC Liberal]

2. Yes. He remains Vice President.

[Codeine]

3. He's merely assuming the power of the office

temporarily; he is still the Vice President during this period.

4. Yes, as long as the incapacity is temporary. If the president died, the office of vice president

would be vacant until a new one was confirmed by both congressional chambers, or until January, and there would be no one to cast a tie breaking vote during that period.
