Who decides? [View all]
Who decides when a transfer of power occurs? What if the President can't do the job due to illness, but doesn't want to let go of the power?
Do his doctors say, welp, he's down for the count? Do they have to wait for some unidentified marker before someone steps up and says, time to punt?
What might we be looking for? Chief Justice to swear Pence in? Does it have to be at the bedside, or can they just get together? Who would need to be a witness?
I am not convinced that Trump is truly ill like that, but if he is, he's toast. I think that we have no one running the country right now. It isn't that I think that Pence is a solution, but if he also gets it, we will have President Pelosi. While both are testing negative at present, who was it that was recently in contact with Trump, and who is most likely to test positive next? I sure like the sound of President Pelosi.
