    I don't think you get to just name someone VP?

    Yes, the president can and has done that. Like any appointee, it has to be approved by the Congress . See Nixion naming Ford VP when Agnew resigned. Ford was never elected president or Vice President.
    So isn’t that a strong reason why this scenario would never happen in a 50/50 senate? You’d need the VP to break the tie on a nomination for a VP.
    Yeah, she is VP until she resigns, dies, impeached or becomes President due to a presidential vacancy. So, if Harris becomes president because the dementia patient resigns or replaced under the 25th amendment the VP spot is vacant and there is no VP to break a Senate tie breaker on any 50-50 split. Same thing if Kameltoe resigns. No VP to exercise the VP tie breaker vote as set out in the Constitution.
    If Harris is president and can’t get her own VP in there, then the position remains. A vacant until the election. (See LBJ). If Harris is then removed from office, the speaker of the house is then president.
    So McCarty will be POTUS.

    Well, no. Because the VP spot remains vacant until the election. Pelosi will be in line until then.

    If dementia patient is still in office Camela votes to break the tie then resigns and goes to the supremes. She has even less business being in the court than the white house.

    If you're comparing Haig (who looked like Chuck Knox) to Bannon, you're missing the mark. Apples and oranges.

    2 Bold Predictions:
    Biden is going to end the covidian policies by April, even if it will upset the crazy wokies who want to mask forever. I'm not sure if this will matter though. I predict that Biden's obvious mental decline means he's going to be pushed out this summer. He will not be around in November.

    Today in January, I disagree. I listened/watched to that presser a few weeks ago. It was not good, however, he held it together for 2 hours. I don't think he's consistently gonzo enough for invoking the 25th or whatever. Just how I see it.

    Re the Vid, a month ago, there seemed to be an Open Up narrative shift, only to retrench again. Sad!
