    If it isn’t really obvious he died of natural causes, whoever becomes president will have a lot of pressure on them to abolish the CIA.

    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.

      My question was a parody of the one asked hours ago. Which is why it’s a literal copy/paste until I get to the parody part. It was less about what would happen if he died, and more about how we, the public, would respond.

      That’s not strictly true, and varies by state.

      Most states have faithless elector laws that may invalidate and/or penalize the elector if they attempt to cast their electoral votes contrary to the electorate votes within the state.

      If trump were dead, vance would be easy to deal with.

      Just put some super glue inbetween the couch cushions. He’d be stuck.

        It blows me away how incredibly stupid you people are. Vance is more dangerous than Trump. Dude hates Trump, but is playing the game. He knows Trump probably won’t make it 4 years. Heck, it wouldn’t surprise me if he takes the Orange Cheeto out himself.

          It would be easier for other/establishment republicans to shame him and hold him accountable. Trump is immune to those things in a way nobody else is. The cult of personality doesn’t just shift to JD Vance.

          One of the few things we know about Vance is that he doesn’t believe what he says.

          I’d take the coin flip liar over the traitor.

          Dangerous how? Vance has the charisma of a limp sofa cushion.

          Of course I feel the same or worse about Don John, so I guess I’m not a good measure.

          For the record, I’m not American. I have also tried my best to keep myself out of reading anything related to such things related to the recently elected “president” and his running mate. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re correct. I hope it’s not the case, but I’m not holding my breath.

        I’m not wishing death on him. God has this sneaky thing about not really granting my wishes so I’m not going to do that to everybody.

        I’m not praying for his death either, but I will breathe the largest sigh of relief the day he breathes his last breath.

      I haven’t had a drink since before the turn of the century. You better belive I’m having a drink, when that fucker dies. I’d piss on his grave if I could find it and not get arrested doing it.

    I don’t think you’d be in a very good mood for very long if that happened.

    Some of you idiots need to wake up to the gravity of these situations. I hope you manage to wake yourselves up.

        Well if the second president who has openly opposed the CIA is also assassinated, people might be a wee bit ticked off.

          I never said assinated. I said dies. He’s an overweight out of shape elderly man with the literal most stressfull job in the world. And unlike last time, he KNOWS what’s coming.

          Healthy people in their 70s die all the time.

          Why WOULD I assume he has a long shelflife ahead of him?

            The only thing I disagree with is that he finds being president stressful. He’s both incredibly stupid and lazy, so I don’t think he really even gives a shit about what his staff is doing as long as they keep jerking off his ego and don’t interrupt his golf and McDonald’s time. He’s likely not even aware of most of it, except whatever gets fed to him to post on social media.

            I don’t think people would take it as anything else, regardless of what the media might say. Which is why I’m saying that some of you idiots need to appreciate the gravity of the situation.

      We wouldn’t be saying these things if we didn’t need help.

      The problem is that you interpret our cries for help as manipulative tactics to get our way rather than the intended desperate cry for the world’s leaders to do things that make the world a better place instead of using our misery as a profit vector.

      Sorry that’s too complicated for you to understand.
