Resignation after the election.


Assuming Biden wins reelection he could resign sometime between then and inauguration day. Maybe even up on the platform before the oaths are given. That way Democrats could thank him for getting them over the top and make Kamala the first black girl president. It could happen.

what are the odds of Joe making it to Jan 2029? I would rather have an old Trump than an old Dictator.

reply

Trump claims he will be a dictator, for a day. You trust anyone to give up a dictatorship after a single day?

reply

He means he'll do what Biden did on his first day and sit down and start cranking out the EOs. You were cool with Biden being dictator for a day.

What is it with the people around here not paying any attention to what really happened?

reply

I was never cool with anyone being dictator for a day. Going to back up your lie? It seems as if you're one those around here not paying any attention to what really happened.

Which of the Biden January 20, 2021 EO's did you object to and why? https://www.federalregister.gov/presidential-documents/executive-orders/joe-biden/2021

He's not winning re-election.. I'm sorry this is going to be a shock but the American people have finally woke up including the black community & Latinos and they realize Biden is a fraud

reply

It could. I think unlikely as they are fine with letting biden... be a figurehead, while the behind the scene guys run everything and avoid any responsibility.

BUt, they could decide that he is not even up to pretending to be in charge.

It would be a horrible betrayal of the country and the voters, it would be clearly the worst bait and switch in history,

But the base would take it like the bitches they are, and the media will carry as much water as needed to make the story go away asap.

he could do that even if he loses

just to trigger all the snowflakes

Good point

kudos to you as well, for your clever idea

Why would democrats be "triggered" over that?

If this unlikely scenario takes place, he would be best to wait until after the inauguration. The Constitution is murky on what happens if a President elect refuses to take office. So, if Biden were to resign, Kamala would immediately become president but what happens before or even the electoral college votes is kind of up in the air.
Jeff Greenfield wrote a novel about such a scenario, back in the 90s. In it, a presidential candidate picks a VP who is pretty different from him, ideologically, in order to pick up some southern states. He wins. Then, in a post election celebration, he is thrown from a horse and dies. The people who supported the president aren't sure they want the VP as president and insist they can nominate someone new to take his place. States where the VP-elect is popular are adamant about his being sworn in. The opposing party sees an opportunity to throw things to the House, where they would win. Alternate slates of electors are chosen, National Guards are called out... and it looks to be going to the SCOTUS because the constitution says NOTHING about what should happen. Interesting novel that only became more chilling after the 2000 and 2020 elections.
