No, but he is in sorry company with those who have not.
Doesnt he have to transfer the power vested in him, or is there a baton for that?!
A US Marine officer is under orders to play hide and seek at the White House for the next 12 days while holding the black briefcase
No, past President has no formal role. The Chief Justice usually adminsters the oath.
I’m not worried. It’s a football, right?
He is allergic to sport…
Hide the codes in a bucket of fried chook and we’d all be fucked.
The moment he is “found”, it becomes unconstitutional to not follow the orders of the president as far as I understand, which is why some geopol professors are shouting that if this is a real fear, he must be impeached immediately.
And then there is this from Idris:
Are you sure about the “marine hiding for 12 days” thing ? Because Nichols and others say it seems very unlikely.
Also this:
After yesterdays events Mexico has announced that they will pay for the wall and Canada wants one too.
A bit surprised that there are not graver indictments yet, but I am no law person.
I mean, I just googled and found this law:
§2383. Rebellion or insurrection
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
Its about people wanting to ensure a basic standard of life for all their citizens , If the cost of healthcare is so prohibitive etc , Fail to see how that is viable. Healthcare for me is a basic fundamental right , Not that my country is doing great , but the fact that basic healthcare remains much more easier to access in India rather than in US is telling.
Completely tongue-in-cheek, based on the ideas the other references you note emphasize. There is no one else who can possibly have final approval over that executive power, unless the Constitution is not being followed and that power has been placed in someone not democratically entitled to it. I have no idea what assurances Pelosi could have obtained other than something as facile as the officer who carries it making himself hard to find.
Its unlawful to unilaterally launch nukes anyway, they can only be used as a last line of defence in the face of overwhelming force. Which paradoxically requires some nut state to break the law.
Well they are right, you know.
Under which law?
Yes, I should have known you were making a joke. In my defence, for me, this is extraordinary serious and dramatic and Trump is completely unstable and it is hard to filter jokes from real info when it comes from a serious person such as yourself, when truth is stranger than fiction anyway.
So yeah, I honestly thought you just had read some bad info. My bad
