If we are able to take the House at the midterm elections, whomever is elected speaker could become president.

Just dealing in hypotheticals here. We don't even know for sure that the judge in the Rockland County case will decide on March 27 or just listen to evidence. Whatever the case might be, I personally think that they will find election fraud.

Now I think I am starting to understand why Harris didn't contest. It was going to be years of investigation and litigation.

However, seeing what a horror show trump is, and especially after today's seat-of-the-pants war planning by text with Hegseth, there could be a massive shift in voters caring enough to vote in the midterms. Social Security will continue to be threatened. Musk is showing his stripes and people hate him.

Furthermore, just look at what Bernie and AOC are doing in the red states. Huge turnouts for their rallies.

This is just one scenario. I'm sure there are others that other posters will imagine.

a possibility NJCher Mar 24 #2
Only if 2/3 of the Senate voted to remove him MichMan Mar 24 #4
I don't think 2/3 senate will convict him though Meowmee Mar 24 #6
The problem with that is that you would need 67 votes to convict in the Senate Polybius Mar 24 #10
we don't know the political atmosphere NJCher Mar 25 #26
True, but we would need to pick up 20 seats Polybius Mar 25 #31
And nothing is going to change those votes. mr715 Mar 25 #40
Here is another possibility MichMan Mar 25 #21
