    I saw another funny post saying he should abdicate now so that Kamala Harris is President 47 and Trump has to scrap a bunch of Merchandise.

      He doesn’t even have the spine to do this.

        Yeah, realistically he’ll just do what Obama did and act like a good teacher giving Trump the details needed to do whatever needs to be done in emergencies. Trump, of course, will soak it all up like a metal bar: not at all.

          He at least needs to throw in some stuff to send Dumpie on a wild goose chase, like referencing aliens in basement BS-13 or alluding to a vault filled with rare cheeto flavors

      This could happen without meaning to. Just takes a medical procedure that puts biden under and temporarily you have 47th president kamala until he wakes back up… assuming they go through the whole transfer of power procedure for it.

      Never know if he’s been putting off a procedure for a condition until after the election. Very plausible though for someone over 80.

        She was acting president during his colonoscopy, that didn’t technically make her the 47th.

          Correct. If we counted every president medical procedure as a new president we would be well in to the 100s by now. Just off the top of my head Reagan and both Bushes had various procedures that briefly granted VPs presidential power, Kamala was far from the first here, even if she was the first black woman to hold it.

          … Andnow I’m vaguely curious if anyone has ever gone back and tallied up this objectively useless number of people who at one point were acting president. 😂
