Every country in Europe has had at least one revolution or some other radical "national reset" in the last 250 years. Every country, except for the UK. And it shows.

What you propose is *definitely* a stretch. But if Vance commits some disqualifying acts, then that might indeed disqualify him, but only from that moment onwards, not his entire vice presidency (just like how there is no constitutional basis for voiding Trump's 1st term between 1/20/17 and 1/6/21)

Except JD is eligible to be Vice President, so he pretty unambiguously got a majority of electoral votes and is the legitimate Vice President. There is no need for the Senate to hold a contingent election for VP, only the House needs to hold a contingent for POTUS.

And since JD Vance is constitutionally eligible to be VP, that means he should legally be the Acting President right now until the House does its job and holds the damn contingent presidential election.

This idea is complicated by the fact that Harris didn't get a majority of electoral votes. So what should've happened, since nobody got a majority (arguably), is the House should've elected the President, which obviously didn't happen, so the Presidency is currently vacant.

I think I'm gonna mockup some wikiboxes with that idea in mind.

I think it's an awesome idea, but I worry what it might do to the shipping discourse depending on how it's executed!

The difference is, in 2008 Democrats had a blindingly obvious candidate that was all but assured to win the nomination (Hillary). This is the first time in a long while that the party doesn't have such an obvious candidate. This time they really are in a post-2012 GOP kind of situation.

I have a question tangent this (to Mr. @jamellebouie.net too, asking here cuz I can't otherwise): I (not American) have heard that the President can (constitutionally) summon Congress himself, and then force them on recess for as long as he chooses. Does that in any way factor into the whole thing?

For a moment I thought this was some kind of "7 ate 9" joke before I realized it's ACAB lol (with what linguists call an "expletive infixation" added)

I think he's more likely to become an independent, in a Pennsylvania for Fetterman style of arrangement (any similarities to Connecticut for Lieberman are fully intentional)

The word "likely" is doing some heavy lifting here. At this point, I wouldn't be so sure.
I am curious as to how you imagine a "US invades Greenland" scenario would play out tho, assuming the military ends up going along with it.
