They're assuming they (the Dems) keep the house. Its looking like its gonna flip to Republican control, then its whoever is named Speaker of the House

If they actually tried this, then it would be just as easy to question results across the board for the election -- including Nancy's re-election in vote-by-mail-fraud California. The only thing left to do will be go to the next tier down in presidential succession for someone whose term was not to be decided by the elections in question.

And that would be Grassley -- his term ends December 2022.

I think the idea is that her election will be decided without issue and she'll be starting her new term in 2021 Jan 3rd. That said, an orchestrated effort to halt an election done by the Speaker of the House to prevent presidential election decision should also disqualify the Speaker

California's "vote by mail-fraud" election will muddy any such result.

I haven't forgotten What the Democrats did with vote recount challenges in PA, WI, MI and OH. Neither have Trump's lawyers that had to be hired for all of those different litigations.

This would actually be an excellent discussion for US Govt class at HS level. The pundits are embarrassing themselves with their complete lack of knowledge. Which is nothing new. There are some that still think that "Bernie could possibly still win this thing."

Here's the short of it.

  1. Pelosi's term ends Jan. 3rd.

  2. Even if Pelosi wins reelection, she still can't take office until sworn in.

  3. ALL of CA election results must be certified to make Pelosi eligible to take office. Procedures do not allow for only HER race to be certified.

  4. Senate President Pro Tem, is next in line for succession purposes. That would be Senator Grassley, wearing (red tie)

Thank you for your excellent comment and for posting it. You should link to an article if one exists. (I couldn't find anything directly on point after a cursory search)

Gender reassignment surgery in the womb discussions are planned that day.

But agree, it's definitely a neat "Here's how Bernie can still win...." exercise.

If the vote could not be certified then it would go to a house vote BY STATE. 26-R vs 23-D majority.

Could explain why the House just announced they have voted to hold Mike Pompeo for some made up charge. Contempt of court of something. They gotta get to work to oust him by Election Day!

Other than Pelosi, the line of succession line is deep red all the way down.

No her district will confirm she won re-election on Nov 3rd. She will be eligible.

Here is the CA law on point.

It does appear from the statutes that state certification for US senators in CA might be certified separately.

I'm far away from CA (both geographically and politically) so I had to look this up. Most other states handle the certifications all at the same time. I'm not suggesting that this is evidence of a conspiracy by CA having different election certification classes. However, It's usually done all at once by the secretary of state in smaller states. There aren't as many votes to tabulate.

Thanks.

100% vote by mail fraud is new (unprecedented and expected to fail as miserably as USPS's change of address processing). Expect challenges going well beyond any opportunity for them to confirm anything in any timely manner. Plenty of based Californian's who will rightfully sue and block decisions if warranted.

If this was really CA's (stupid) plan, they should steer completely away from vote by mail fraud, and steal elections their normal way -- encouraging illegal/ineligible voters to vote unlawfully in person because "muh resident".

Anything else dealing with actual ballots mailed to every registered voter and vote by mail fraud will result an an avalanche of lawsuits delaying results (including Nancy's).

I have no faith in that state and especially her district.

We need to get this out to all conservatives, Republicans, based Christians, based Jews, sane libertarians, republican leaning independents and anyone who is on our side.

The Democrats are going to push to have Nancy "constitutents poop on sidewalks" Pelosi to end up as president but it's not her, it's Mike Pompeo who would end up in that office if there's a dispute.

btw, I don't want there to be a dispute but the Democrats are lying decepticons.

They would just elect a new speaker of the house.

The 2nd Amendment should be treated like a super hero because when I read these sorts of discussions, I cannot help but think:

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE RESCUE!
