I doubt that Joe Biden will become the 46th POTUS

[Lord Ludd]

That's because Trump will resign, making Pence #46.

Any thoughts on when the Great Abdication might occur? My guess is as soon as he's get his legal team assembled to do battle in Manhattan & other state venues.

1. Or he'll bolt without saying a word.

Whatever he does, I'm going to take pleasure in watching him fall.

2. january 19, 2021. just enough time to make sure pence signs donnie's pardon.

[apcalc]

5. He can't pardon if no charges have been filed, can he?

[unblock]

7. Acts are pardoned, not charges. So yes. Any time after an act is committed it can be pardoned.

Carter pardoned draft dodgers, for example, so they could return from Canada without fear of prosecution.

And of course, Ford pardoned Nixon....

[Sanity Claws]

3. Better yet, he might be #48

Pence resigns and Pelosi becomes President

[obamanut2012]

4. January 15

[bigtree]

6. good, then we can charge Pence with conspiracy

...

[relayerbob]

8. I just said that. He will be 47

[leftofthestorm]

9. Pence can be...

45 and a fucking half.

[Lord Ludd]

11. I thought of that too

Becoming an unelected president for a term of 2 months or less shouldn't count as a unique number.

[PTWB]

10. He's not going to resign.

He would pardon himself first.
