I have a question: If for some reason Obama is unable to take the oath of
office, does that mean that Obiden, er, Biden would be sworn in as
President, or
would Pelosi take the reigns, er, reins until new elections take place?
Line of succession is Veep, then Speaker of the House. Believe that's how
Ford got to be Veep, IIRC, he was Speaker when Agnew resigned.
Yes, but we were not at a transition point at that time.
At this point, Biden was not actually elected, was he? Obama was the titular
(neat word!) head of the party with Biden merely clinging to the 'tard boy in
waiting.
So, I still wonder at this point if Biden could be legally sworn in.
Any precedents out there?
