Can we do this?

Question

"In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the Vice President, and the Congress may by law provide for the case of removal, death, resignation or inability, both of the President and Vice President, declaring what officer shall then act as President, and such officer shall act accordingly, until the disability be removed, or a President shall be elected."

US Constition Article II, Paragraph 6

WE can force the whole cabinet to resign, including Cheney and call for an election. That is what it says.

Answer 1

Yes, we already have. When Nixon resigned Ford was the new president. When Kennedy died Johnson. There are several other times the vice president became president. That is why the vice president is said to be a heart beat away from the presidency.

Answer 2

First, I have to correct you. On the inability of the Presindent to do the job of President, for whatever reason, it only falls to the Vice President, if the Vice Preisient is either available and or informed, and/or able to do the job. When the assasination attempt on Ronald Regan was attempted, Geroge Bush, Sernior was in Texas, and unavailable to do the job.

Answer 3

Yes, but I do not think our history has ever had to do such. The Speaker of the House is next in line.

Answer 4

Not as long as the Republicans control everything. Maybe if the Democrats pick up enough seats during this falls mid-terms, which seems very likely.

Answer 5

I agree it would be lovely to toss the whole lot out on their ears (or better still, turn them over to face trail for Crimes Against Humanity).

I would help you if you can figure out a way to get the ball rolling, but it doesn't seem likely.

Answer 6

Kill the president?

I'll kill W, if you kill Dick.
