Why would anyone want to be Biden's VP ?..

[dogtag]

Well, anyone of consequence anyway. Why would someone.
let's say Michelle for arguments sake want to tie their future political
career to a loser. Now maybe Hilary would although I would only
grudgingly award her "consequence" but then she'd have an ulterior
motive which would not include Biden's chances of getting old.
Every time I see Biden on TV, he seems a little worse than he was
earlier, which isn't saying much. By the time the election gets here
he could well be totally incoherent.

You're right

US Constitution, Article XXV:

Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Why does anyone want to coach the Cincinnati Bengals?

Some jobs there are only so many slots.

Although there is a limit. I hear the Federal Government is hiring, lots of politically appointed positions open.

Just like in every administration before...

Actually no, Ray.

Trump has left about 1/4 of the positions requiring Senate Confirmation without nominees. Going into year 4.

Part of his philosophy of letting the executive branch unravel, also known as "deconstructing the administrative state".

So you can change your answer now from "just like..." to "good!" since the second one is the approved answer.

Me? Rather think for myself, thanks. Right or wrong, at least I'll understand why I think something.

[Vern Humphrey]

Whoever Biden selects -- if he wins -- will come into office locked and cocked. He or she will have the names of at least 8 Cabinet officers who will declare Biden "is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office" and that's all that it takes. More than half of the Cabinet officers say so, and that's it. Biden won't last a week.

I agree with Mr. Humphrey; however, I give home a couple months.

It will be Pelosi....... what a pair! Add Hillary as Sec of State "in the wings".

Hilary reminds me of why I went broke in the honey business -- my queen bee took up with a tumble bug and filled the hive with xxxx.

Probably because the Dem's would block so many of his nominations....They hate that they lost and throw as many road blocks to him as they can... Never so so much anti president stuff in my life. Used to be once the election was over, the country got together got behind him as it was in the countries best interest..Of course there were always a few sore looser's that were not very happy and offered some criticism. Never like it is now though...

Everything Trump does, or don't do, is always viewed as negative by you. ..Not healthy to hate and be so negative so much...

How can you say that, Ray? Don't you know Trump is the Devil incarnate? Everything is his fault. He cooked up the Corona virus in the White House basement. He caused the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. He passed laws that allow abortionists to kill babies who manage to stay alive until born.

He's the Devil, I tell you, the Devil!

Biden, in the unlikely event he gets elected, ( let alone the nomination), WHOEVER his VP pick is, will be who the DNC really wants as President. and Sleepy Joe will never make it through his term, if even the 1st year.

He won't make it though 48 hours before the 25th Amendment is invoked, and he's O-U-T.
