New Job after State: STARFLEET?

[Owlet]

2. Here's a scenario

1. January 2013 - Barack Obama sworn in as President

2. February 2013 - Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retires

3. March 2013 - President Obama appoints Hilary Rodham Clinton to succeed Justice Ginsburg

4. March 2013 - Justice Clinton wins Senate confirmation

5. April 2013 - President Obama appoints Vice President Biden to be Secretary of State

6. May 2013 - Secretary Biden wins Senate confirmation by 1 vote ("Hey, a win is a win" quips Biden)

7. May 2013 - are you ready for it? President Obama appoints newly-elected Senator Elizabeth Warren as Vice President. This is a far as my ability to see into the future extends - 14 to 15 months max, after which images become very fuzzy. As we all know the 25th Amendment requires that such an appointment be approved by a majority in both Houses, and the GOP still controls the House, albeit by a scant 6 votes. Since Congress will be more than a little preoccupied with the pending devaluation of the US dollar due to the collapse of the financial structure and all that implies, there is a good possibility that the House will not want the country to be without a VP at this critical hour. We'll just have to wait and see
