Charisma doesn't matter when you are the most powerful person in the country.

Already asked like hours ago 🙄

Answer:

If trump died before the Electoral Votes are cast, they wouldn’t be bound to vote for him and can vote for anyone, but its almost certainly going to be vance. Then either vance or RNC picks someone else to be the new VP to tells the electors to now instead of voting: [Pres: trump VP: vance] its now [Pres: vance VP: whoever they find to take this role]

If both trump and vance died before the electoral votes are cast, then RNC find 2 new people to tell their electors to vote for.

(Remember Electors are selected by their parties and are usually party loyalists that aren’t gonna vote for the opposing party. Think of people like Former President Obama being an elector in his state for the democratic ticket, he aint voting trump ever, and same thing with a loyal maga supporter, they aint ever switching to vote Democrat.)

If trump died after the electoral votes are cast, vance takes the oath and become 47th president, VP is empty. vance can appoint someone to be VP with simple majority of both houses.

If both trump and vance died after the electoral votes are cast, the speaker of the house, mike johnson, swears in as Acting President (after being required to resign as speaker of the house) for the rest of the term or until someone else above them in the line of sucession becomes available to be acting president. (We dont know what happens if acting president mike johnson nominates a VP since the new VP would be above him in the line of sucession)

Only VP takes the title of “President”, everyone else in the line of sucession is not designated by the constitution but is only statutory.

You know the song and so do I

The law is stupid, dont blame the PA Supreme Court. That's the state legislature's fault.

Judges makes an interpretation of laws, they don't make an interpretation of what makes most sense. They aren't doing judicial activism.

The majority of the court is affliated with democrats, so its not like this is some partisan decison.

My PA ballot was pre-filled with 2024 as the year.

Um yea I think thats just social media attention seeking. I don't think that is any more common than something like shoplifting.

Reddit loves to upvote drama.

Chrome is now owned by a separate conpany with the same major stock holders.

Because most countries have been patriarchal for most of human history. Old habits die hard.

If trump dies, vance is gonna baselessly claim democrats assassinated him and immediately invoke the insurrection act and martial law, ordering the military to hunt down democrats.

Remember his ohio "haitian are eating our cats" rhetoric? Imagine when he has a position of power.

I think in the constitutional sense, "President-elect" and "Vice President-elect" refers to the candidates after the electoral college votes and before they take office. The constitution doesn't take into account popular votes, as presidential electors aren't even chosen by popular vote in early days.
