Can you imagine Kamala Harris being sworn in by President Joe Biden?

I am right now...! And very soon I will be looking into ways that I can help make this become a reality.

Pass the torch, share the light!

1. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

swears in the President.

2. LOL, my thoughts too.

5. He'd never admit it publicly...

but I think at least a small part of John Roberts might be pleased to do so, if only to rid himself of meddlesome pest Trump.

Trump, with an assist from Alito and Thomas (and, to a lesser degree, the other conservatives), has pretty much demolished the legacy of Roberts' court.

7. That's just tradition...nothing in the Constitution requires it

Might be a nice marker to set down to tell John Roberts to pound sand.

"There's seats in the back, fucko. "

3. No because the Chief Justice does that.

Sheesh.

[Prairie Gates]

6. The Constitution doesn't specify who should administer the oath

It's just tradition.

With the Roberts court being so lawless, it might be a nice move to deny Roberts the privilege of swearing in the new President.

4. I am imagining Kamala certifying her own win on January 6

The magas can cry and scream all they want. They don’t have the presidency this time, we have the National Guard.

9. Oh my, I hadn't thought of that!

That is a rather delicious thought.

8. Even a notary republic could swear in the President.

In fact it happened in 1923. Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his father a notary public and justice of the peace.

10. Beat me to it! Coolidge and LBJ

He was sworn in by Sarah Hughes, a Federal judge who served on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The famous photo of his swearing in on the plane, with a bloodied, stunned Jackie Kennedy standing byLBJ and Ladybird.

11. Apologies on the confusion re: my imagination...

I should have thought about this more (and/or had a little more coffee) before launching the post.

So I guess I'll update my imagination to have Biden present when Kamala is sworn in. With TFG nowhere in sight. Again.
