Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

*With a little help from his friends. But I do believe his greatest accomplishment will be convincing his die-hard (poor choice of words...) followers to disinfect their insides.

If these people cared about their loved ones they wouldn't have been all-in on destroying "Obamacare" and even fucking with Medicare and Medicade. Not to mention 20+ years of destroying the social safety net.

The party you de-facto support (while claiming immunity from their most horrific actions because technically you're a "libertarian") has a really low fucking bar here for qualifications given the Trump presidency, most members of his administration, but going back to Sarah Palin. But to answer your question, a FUCK-TON MORE EXPERIENCE, and not just as first lady. Start with Harvard law graduate and dean/teacher, which, would be nice to have somebody who again could speak in a complete sentence about the constitution while not outright lying about it giving them "total authority"... but then... Career Following law school, Obama became an associate at the Chicago office of the law firm Sidley & Austin, where she met her future husband Barack. At the firm, she worked on marketing and intellectual property law.[4] She continues to hold her law license, but as she no longer needs it for her work, she has kept it on a voluntary inactive status since 1993.[74][75] In 1991, she held public sector positions in the Chicago city government as an Assistant to the Mayor, and as Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development. In 1993, she became Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, a non-profit organization encouraging young people to work on social issues in nonprofit groups and government agencies.[26] She worked there nearly four years and set fundraising records for the organization that still stood 12 years after she left.[20] Obama later said that she had never been happier in her life prior to working "to build Public Allies".[76] In 1996, Obama served as the Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago, where she developed the University's Community Service Center.[77] In 2002, she began working for the University of Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and, beginning May 2005, as Vice President for Community and External Affairs.[78] She continued to hold the University of Chicago Hospitals position during the primary campaign of 2008, but cut back to part-time in order to spend time with her daughters as well as work for her husband's election.[79] She subsequently took a leave of absence from her job.[80] According to the couple's 2006 income tax return, her salary was $273,618 from the University of Chicago Hospitals, while her husband had a salary of $157,082 from the United States Senate. The Obamas' total income was $991,296, which included $51,200 she earned as a member of the board of directors of TreeHouse Foods, and investments and royalties from his books.[81] Obama served as a salaried board member of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE: THS),[82] a major Wal-Mart supplier from shortly after her husband was seated in the Senate until she cut ties shortly after her husband announced his candidacy for the presidency; he criticized Wal-Mart labor policies at an AFL-CIO forum in Trenton, New Jersey, on May 14, 2007.[83] She also served on the board of directors of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.[84]

They refuse to listen anyway, so just try not to smile too much...

I mean, does everything about Trump's supporters come down to racism? Obviously the answer we need to the pandemic is to shut down immigration, which, in fact, is the answer to everything, right? Unless we're talking about a white prostitute who lied on and violated her visa, with an anchor baby and chain migration of her family--that's First Lady material, because, well, at least she's not black like the last one... Oh and by the way this Christian conservative giant cheated on her with another prostitute and payed hush money with campaign funds. But everybody's white so again, OK. It's OK to gridlock the entrance to a fucking hospital during a pandemic--while waving confederate flags--because you can't currently go to your hairdresser, but NOT ok to take a knee for a moment in protest of clear and documented police brutality... again, it's like there's a difference I'm missing I can't quite put my thumb on that drives this base forward at almost every turn. Ok, ok, it's not just racism. There's misogyny too.

Bored out of my mind I drove a loop of Hollywood and WeHo yesterday. Kind of expected to see a desperate guy or tran out working it, didn't, but it was middle of day. Did drive by Circus of Books, while the main sign is still up the windows were filled with stuff I believe said "Chi Chi La Rue's Circus", so I guess it was bought out.

Qualified, educated woman of color would piss you off, but a fucking dipshit pretend-billionare game show host con-man you're just fine with. What are her qualifications, you ask? Well, speechwriter for Melanoma Trump, for one.

So, again (literally EVERY Republican presidency of my life) the Republican president has massively ballooned the debt and crashed the economy, and the Democrat will get to fix it, again, while being screamed at about the debt the entire time. Your party is talking about bailing out the fucking OIL INDUSTRY. Yeah, in addition to all the subsidies and environmental clean up, an actual direct cash injection. But making sure everybody has access to fucking healthcare (especially NOW), oh hell no. Yes, it is partisan politics as usual, and your party is on the WRONG FUCKING SIDE yet again.

Nice! Ever come to Los Angeles?

His fairly tone-deaf assertion his candidate would be a woman was stupid, of course. But I've always been a big fan of Warren. That woman from Michigan would also work pretty well, I think.

We try! Great video, would be even better without the flip flops and the shorts though!

OhPlease, I am sorry to hear of your situation. I lost my mother about a year ago after several years of deterioration, including her being miserable in assisted living and finally having an aneurysm which was mismanaged--she had a DNR with the home but that somehow didn't apply to the ambulance trip--so I had to order she be extubated (her clear wish) and then listen to her struggling to breathe (but at least not conscious, the "comfort care" the hospital provided was good at least) for days before she passed much less peacefully than was necessary. I know how hard it is to deal with remotely, but can't imagine having to do it under these circumstances where there's almost no chance to provide comfort. Deepest sympathies.

I have been catching up on Bosch for the last couple weeks, up to mid-season 4 so far. What I love about it is the love letter to Los Angeles. You know all the shows "set in LA" with the helicopter around the US Bank building establishing shot and nothing else? This is NOT that. They go to so many places I know well, places I'm missing because of the current situation. That alone keeps me watching. Also a pretty good hard-boiled cop drama that is better than all the procedurals where everything gets wrapped up every episode, especially all the way through court... But the acting leaves something to be desired, and I'm getting tired of some of the multi-season storylines. Still, I'll keep watching, because what else do I have to do? But the people loving it, especially once you're caught up, for fucks sake do yourself a favor and watch The Wire, or even The Shield. Wish there was a new season of Jack Ryan to watch right now.

Seriously who is still listening to this nutcase? Also, he's revamped this exact bullshit at least a half dozen times now, it's like Elton John with Candle in the Wind.

I think this current "Bernie Bro" base is mostly made of Russian bots. Bernie supports had reason (DNC establishment ignoring them and shoving unwanted Hillary down our throats) to feel disenfranchised and angry last time, this time, not at all. Their candidate was given a fair shake, in part because they helped to reshape the party some, but still failed to even come close to previous levels of support. That combined with the now well established Trump record and intentions means no true liberal would dream of sitting out--let alone voting R--this election. I've long said that Trump will do for the national Republican party exactly what Schwarzenegger did for the Californian Republican party--destroy it utterly. So what will Trump pull to undermine or invalidate the coming election, and how will people like RA1 justify ignoring it?
