no it's not. The real question is will I be able to break the record for the 100 yard dash (or 100 meters, I guess) by a 100 year old person? I have a ways to go before I get there but as of now I can beat all of those old-timers. I just have to stay in

Bulls**t! What a gigantic load of crap - even for you. There is only
one real question. Will Joe Biden step down and resign after the
2022 mid-term elections? Every honest American knows he is mentally
unfit and the Democrats have made it absolutely clear they
do not want him to run in 2024. Because they know he will lose
to anyone the Republicans run.

So, will old Joe step down in 2023? That's the real question.

Not if the Republicans control the House - otherwise, here's what could happen: (a) Joe steps down
(b) Kamala becomes President
(c) The Republicans in the House reject anybody she nominates as Vice-President (and it takes both houses to confirm a VP nominee - 25th Amendment, Section 2)
(d) Meanwhile, the Republicans in the House vote for a new Speaker - Trump; there is nothing in either the Constitution or the Rules of the House that says that the Speaker has to be a Representative
(e) Something, er, "happens" to Kamala
(f) With no VP, the Republican Speaker of the House - Trump - becomes President

preemptively.

Not all republicans hate Biden

From Wikipedia

August 2020, while on leave of absence from his work at Google, he produced an ad for Republican Voters Against Trump, denouncing Trump and endorsing Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Taylor was the first former Trump administration official
to endorse Joe Biden.[6] He later co-founded the Renew America Movement, alongside former Republican governors, congressmen, and cabinet officials, with the goal of breaking Donald Trump's hold on the Republican Party.[7]

If idiot trump and his buddies couldn't prevent Biden from running. Whether by legal or illegal means

They certainly do not have the wherewithal to get him to step down
fruman got a year in prison, fruman owns a famous bar in the center of kyiv, but is belarussian, his ex wife is from odessa

As the investigation found out, in early May 2018, Igor Fruman and another businessman, a native of Ukraine, Lev Parnas , met for dinner with Donald Trump at the Trump International Hotel in Washington. The businessmen offered the Republicans
compromising evidence on a possible candidate for the presidency from the Democratic Party Joe Biden , citing their connections in the highest echelons of Ukrainian power.

That same month, Delaware-registered offshore Global Energy Producers made a $325,000 donation to a Trump-supporting campaign fund. In the following months, Fruman transferred $15,000 to the campaign fund of former Florida Gov. Rick Scott , $35,000 to
the campaign fund of Republican Adam Putnam , and $50,000 to the campaign fund of Trump supporter Ron DeSantis .

Fruman personally transferred the maximum amounts allowed by law - $ 2,700 each to the accounts of two more public organizations that support Trump's re-election - Trump Victory and Donald J. Trump for President. The total amount of donations made by
businessmen amounted to 576 thousand dollars.

I'M SHOCKED HE'S GOTTEN THIS FAR, YOU STUPID REPUBLICAN MAGA MORON!

And keep in mind, motherfucker, I voted AGAINST TRUMP. The Democratic Party could've nominated a ham sandwich and I'd have voted for it.

To answer your question: If there is a chance in Hell Kamala Harris can replace the vice-presidential vacancy, then I fully expect the resignation of Joe Biden, and have for about a year and a half now -- and I understood that with my vote. The only
thing keeping Biden in office at this point is the impossibility of replacing Harris with a 50-50 no-tiebreaker Senate.

Fucking idiots like you should be shot.

This seems to be enough to create confidence in gop for important positions

“Soon after, Barrack was appointed deputy undersecretary of the Interior. Democratic senators raised a fuss, claiming that he had essentially bought his high-ranking position, but the independent council found no criminal wrongdoing. The director of
the Office of Government Ethics also cleared both him and Meese, saying Barrack’s “primary motive” in subsidizing the sale of Meese’s home “was to help his friends by bringing them into a good business venture.”16
Documents released by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library reveal Barrack’s connection to Meese was far from his only avenue to the appointment. In October 1982 a prominent Los Angeles socialite and Republican fund-raiser, Margaret Brock, wrote to
White House deputy chief of staff Michael Deaver to recommend “a relatively new friend here in California” who had bought a Bel Air home “originally owned by my parents.
“Tom Barrack has completely—and beautifully—restored the house and grounds,” she said. “During and after the construction, my sister, Elizabeth Handley, and her husband, Joe, and I have enjoyed several guided tours and luncheon at the house.”

PS: The first three parts of what you propose, roughly, are the only reason Biden is still President.

(a) Joe steps down
(b) Kamala becomes President
(c) The Republicans in the House reject anybody she nominates as Vice-President (and it takes both houses to confirm a VP nominee - 25th Amendment, Section 2)

Change, in this case, the Senate to the House.

(d) Meanwhile, the Republicans in the House vote for a new Speaker - Trump; there is nothing in either the Constitution or the Rules of the House that says that the Speaker has to be a Representative
(e) Something, er, "happens" to Kamala
(f) With no VP, the Republican Speaker of the House - Trump - becomes President

This is what Irish Mike wants. He wants one fewer bullet to be necessary to ascend Trump.

Trump also, with his bleating today, has pumped another situation into the scenario.

(a) Republicans, at minimum, take the House by a margin larger than the Democrats would have the Senate.
(b) With the number of states which now refuse to recognize Joe Biden as President in their Republican platforms, a demand to reconvene the entirety of the Congress for the debate of the revocation of the consent given on January 6th (or was it early
January 7th after the riots?), 2021.
(c) With the House now firmly in control of the process because of the number of members, the consent is revoked, at which point, a complete vacancy situation triggers and the Congress "may by law provide for a case" (20th Amendment, if neither a
President nor a Vice-President shall have qualified) for a do-over election, with the Speaker of the House named at least an Acting President of the United States through the succession process.

(Which, of course, also begs the question that the entire House of Representatives, at minimum through 1/2/23, and perhaps forward in many states, would be invalid on it's face.)
