Nancy?

1. Would seem logical. Haven't seen her

[Massacure]

2. We probably won't know until after the ceremonies complete

My guess is Chuck Grassley though.

5. Has all the Trump Cabinet resigned by now?

I keep having visions of Pompeo figuring out a way to succeed. If something did happen to Biden and Harris, I would expect Pompeo to contest the law moving succession to the Legislative branch.

[Massacure]

7. I doubt it

Jeh Johnson (Homeland Security Secretary) was Obama's pick as designated survivor leading up to Trump's Inauguration, and Trump designated Orrin Hatch (Senate Pro Tempore) was to be his once he took the oath of office.

Robert Gates (Secretary of Defense) was the designated survivor during Obama's first inauguration because Obama had decided to retain him as Secretary of Defense from Bush's administration.

3. I am. I got this. Everyone, relax, have fun.

Oh, I thought you meant "designated driver". I've only had two shots of rye whiskey so far. I'm good.

4. She is a bunker until the new pro tem

and a few Cabinet members are seated?

I still think the Republicans don't want the power changeover because of what it will reveal.

6. Interesting

Never knew this was a thing.

8. If I told you I'd have to kill you

terrible joke

[cbdo2007]

9. If they all get wiped out it defaults to David Letterman

[question everything]

10. No. I saw her

[lindysalsagal]

11. My vote: Colbert!

[DeminPennswoods]

12. I did not see Justice Breyer with the SCOTUS

group.

[musette_sf]

13. did you see Kagan?

I have looked for her but don't see her there.

[DeminPennswoods]

15. Thought I saw both her and Sotomeyor

but not 100% sure. Usually 1 Justice stays behind like for the SOTU.

[BluesRunTheGame]

14. It's AOC.

She’s not at the ceremony.

[NurseJackie]

16. Haaaaa!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. Notice that the Pence fly is nowhere to be seen and The Bunker is sealed.
