(OP) User ID: 73541692 United States01/13/2017 09:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Already confirmed January 6th. Pence is the new president for 4 years. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73733178 So hes already been sworn in? No way Obama could pull any bullshit? We do not learn from history because our studies are brief and prejudiced. In a surprising manner, 250 years emerges as the average length of national greatness. This average has not varied for 3,000years. The stages of the rise and fall of great nations seem to be: The Age of Pioneers , The Age of Conquests ,The Age of Commerce ,The Age of Affluence ,The Age of Intellect ,The Age of Decadence. Decadence is marked by: Defensiveness, Pessimism, Materialism,Frivolity An influx of foreigners The Welfare State A weakening of religion. Decadence is due to: Too long a period of wealth and power, Selfishness Love of money ,The loss of a sense of duty. The life histories of great states are amazingly similar, and are due to internal factors. Their falls are diverse, because they are largely the result of external causes. - Sir John Glubb The Fate of Empires We are at the end of the Age of Decadence heading into COLLAPSE |

If Pence and Trump are together and both get taken out then what happens? Trump and the Intelligence community are going at it. Democunt Schumer has stated that it's very stupid to take on the Intelligence community. Kennedy was the last President to do so and see what happened there. Plus trump talking peace with Russia is very bad for the military industrial complex. They like wars all around. He's making powerful enemies in the deep state.

Quoting: Nefarious Libertine What are the procedures to be followed? Does pence become President? What if Trump and Pence are assassinated at the same time? What happens then? Pence would become president. He would then pick his own vp.If something happened to Pence and Mr.T the speaker of the house rat boy Paul Ryan would be in. Read the u.s. constitution. Join the ranks of real patriots. |

I've read the constitution before and know the lines of succession, what I wasn't sure if that applied to a president elect before the oath of office or only to a standing president.

(OP) User ID: 73541692 United States01/13/2017 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From the Wiki A United States presidential transition is the transfer of federal executive branch power from the incumbent President of the United States to the president-elect, during the period of time between election day in November (on the first Tuesday after November 1), and inauguration day on the following January 20. At its heart, a single step—taking the presidential oath of office—accomplishes this transfer. So... If both President and Vice President do not get to take the Oath of office the transfer of power does not happen and Obama does indeed stay a standing president.

The oath at this point is a mere formality. .If neither makes it though Paul Ryan would be in. |

Also the constitution specifically sets term limits on the executive seat so if obummer did try to pull a move off like that he would be in direct violation. |
