The "TV President"

Quote :

When you want conservative change to happen, you have to understand the people who are making America’s biggest decisions. And right now, few people are making bigger decisions than President Trump.

And Donald is certainly not easy to understand. He’s not a politician. The way he thinks and acts stems from his past experiences and successes as a businessman and celebrity. So it comes as no surprise that he doesn’t act like a politician, and that he ruffles a lot of feathers on both sides of the aisle because politicians just don’t understand him. As part of President Trump’s original transition team, I can tell you firsthand that he is a unique individual.

If we want to see his steps toward conservative policy succeed, we must take time to understand his political agenda, the way he makes decisions, and how he deals with the forces that oppose him.

Newt Gingrich has written a book with some terrific insights into the character of our 45th president. The book is called Understanding Trump, and I’d like to send it to you as an appreciation gift for your year-end donation of $100 or more to The Heritage Foundation today.

It’s a fascinating read, and I think you’ll be enlightened about many aspects of our president’s character that you won’t find anywhere else.

Thanks for all you do as part of the conservative movement.

Onward!

Here's what's happening, in case it isn't obvious.

1. Trump will leave office in early 2018, either due to medical reasons or under threat from Congress/Mueller. He's not having fun anymore -- he WANTS to leave.

2. Pence becomes president.

3. Pence appoints Newt Gingrich as his V.P. He's a good loyal apologist for the Trump-Pence Administration, and he's a close personal friend of Pence. I don't BELIEVE(?) Congress has any say in Pence's appointment.

4. Pence gets removed from office in late 2018/early 2019 due to criminal charges by the Mueller probe which, yes, is still going.

5. Gingrich becomes our second unelected president in history. The Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, American Freedom Coalition, American Crossroads, etc. jump for joy. They have FINALLY figured out how to impose their agenda on an unwilling public.

Mark my words.

Correction: the new president's VP choice has to be confirmed by a simple majority vote of both houses of Congress:

Quote :

25th Amendment: Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

The 25th amendment was precipitated by the very case our reader asks about: When Lyndon B. Johnson became president after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the position of vice president remained vacant for the remainder of his term. Had Johnson left office during that time, House Speaker John W. McCormack of Massachusetts would have been next in line to take his place as president. After Johnson won the 1964 election, his running mate, Hubert H. Humphrey, became vice president. A few years later, in Feb. 1967, the 25th amendment was ratified.

This amendment has been invoked twice. In 1973, Vice President Spiro Agnew stepped down and was convicted of corruption charges after pleading "no contest." President Richard Nixon then appointed House Republican Leader Gerald Ford as vice president. When Nixon resigned and Ford became president, Ford named former New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller as his vice president.

So they have to get this all done before the 2018 elections, or they might not be able to confirm their choice(s).

Right. November 2018, eleven months away.
