“If [Pelosi] along with Trump and Pence were to become seriously ill, we’d be looking at the prospect of Acting President Chuck Grassley, who is 86 years young,” writes ed_kilgore
Future Acting President Nancy Pelosi? Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images President Trump’s valet and Vice-President Mike Pence’s press secretary have tested positive for COVID-19. Still, these men think that manly men don’t betray a fear of mere viruses, so they eschew masks and other common precautions. Thus, understandably, inquiring minds want to know what would happen if both of them got sick, which is entirely possible.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany revealed Thursday there is no procedure in place to facilitate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s ascension to the presidency should President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence become incapacitated by the coronavirus …“That’s not even something that we’re addressing,” she told reporters. “We’re keeping the president healthy. We’re keeping the vice president healthy.
I suppose the idea here is that it would take away from all that celebrating if White House staff looked into the operation of the 25th Amendment, which provides for an acting president in case POTUS becomes temporarily incapacitated.
Maybe not, but just saying it’s so doesn’t make it so, and you’d think once both the president and vice-president had been exposed to COVID-19, there would be some contingency planning. It should cross Pelosi’s mind, as well, though if it has, she’s not talking about it. Perhaps having recently tuned 80, she should be extra-careful about her own health.
