President Mike Pence is possible

Dec. 8 is the deadline for resolving election disputes, including recounts and court contests, at the state level. The Electoral College formally votes Dec. 14, and then Congress counts the electoral votes on Jan. 6, two weeks before Inauguration Day.

The New York Post notes that if the election is somehow still in dispute, things could get complicated: Some states could deliver two sets of electoral votes and Vice President Mike Pence, who serves as president of the Senate, could opt to throw out both sets of votes from those states. If neither candidate has 270 electoral votes, then Congress would vote for president and vice president; the House of Representatives would need a majority by 26 votes to choose a president and the Senate would need at least 51 votes to determine the VP.
In that unlikely scenario, if the Senate somehow chooses a vice president but the House doesn’t pick a president, the vice president-elect serves as president until all is resolved. If neither body of Congress can successfully vote by Inauguration Day, then the presidential line of succession takes effect and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would serve as president until a new president is chosen.

That sounds awfully easy to game.

Sounds pretty cool.

So we could have the first female president in the form of Pelosi. That would make Trump the ultimatist made.

A Handmaid's Tale future is more likely under a President like Mike Pence. 😉

Not sure. It says Pence gets to toss out votes. That requires a state or two with conflicting ballots, which isn't exactly a stretch with our voting systems.

I mean, look at Florida 2000. They tossed out votes that had Gore as a check, plus a write in for Gore. Essentially, they voted for Gore twice on the same ballot. Those were tossed aside as "overvotes", and the only ones hand counted were "underrvotes", or votes that weren't punched all the way through the ballot but clearly meant to pick Gore.

If every vote was counted, Gore would have won 2000.

You're not sure if possible and probable are synonyms? I'll help you. Probable is any possibility above 50%, meaning it actually has a likelihood of occurring, whereas ANYTHING BELOW THAT 50% IS MORE THAN LIKELY A PHUCKING RIDICULOUS PIPE DREAM YOU ILLITERATE NIGGA😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's definitely a possibility. Trump may very well blow his brains out soon and Pence will have the honor of being president for a month.

More likely scenario is Trump resigns with a couple weeks left so Pence can pardon him.

I will visit your sharing regularly, I hope to cooperate with you. atari breakout

Tim Kaine's wife was a Pence clone.
