I agree. This starts with Nixon and Ford giving a pardon was a huge mistake. The US needs to have a president actually go down. Until then, it’s really a dictatorship.
Well that was devised before parties existed. The most popular candidate was president and the person with the second most votes became vice president. It was a way to force compromise but, of course, we amended the constitution to have P and VP run together.
So, originally, if the president died, vacated office, etc., it was the second most popular presidential candidate that became president.
In my opinion it was the creation of the CIA, and Nixon was the last nail in the coffin… with Reagan as the result.
Once you have “black budgets” with no transparency, it’s over… it’s just a matter of time, as it grows exponentially every budget.

Honestly, letting the president pick the guy who replaces him if he’s thrown out isn’t a great idea.

Yeah, that’d be even worse under the current climate. All they’d have to do is get second place, and then BANG! Change of plan, boys!
Kamala would be VP and take over once the dementia gets too harsh.
