I honestly think that is what happened... I think the saw an opening that would allow him to weasel out of it and it would have worked were it not for that dress.
What's not so transparent about the election though. The process is pretty solid. Some of the things requested are outside the law or really out there
Not until she is sworn in.
I'm pretty sure.
Weird
Given all that is going on, they'll wait until the EC or Trump concedes. Plus, they might need her vote... Newsom should probably have someone ready to replace her that is ready to hit the ground running.
is that common practice?
CA doesnt have a special election or anything the governor picks someone from the party to sub in
I think so... I'd have to look it up.
Although I'm not sure if that triggers a special election or something the next one
if Biden swears in and remains less than 2 years in power, Kamala can only run once
I think newsom just picks one
Those replacements rules are always weird
It is probably usually done sooner, but usually the projected loser concedes to remove all doubt about the transition.
They usually step down almost immediately
If memory serves me correctly
To the people saying that Kamala has not stepped down because she is waiting for inaguration.... Obama stepped down mid November. So what gives?
I don't think that's true... LBJ could have run for reelection, but chose not to.
Clinton may have been a "we can't even open that bag of worms" type of scandal so the only thing pressing at the time was uprising pressure and a blue dress. The People are more ready for scathing reality, but possibly not. This heist has been brutal. Only happy to have noticed since a year ago.
21st amendment
Usually the election is just done. This time we gotta rule out regular lawsuits, extreme kraken lawsuits, electoral theft, certification shenanigans, delaying the electoral college, military coup then its finalized
No chance of two cycles after and if he croaks?
2 years or more of a POTUS that takes over without an election counts like a full term for term limits according to the 21st
My math was wrong... I was thinking Lincoln for the timing of the assassination.
was checking yesterday
Yup its like a 10 year max
@Dedkraken, you just advanced to level 7!
however
Yeah idk if there’s a strategy to her holding on to the seat or not because it seemed strange. Thought maybe she had announced something. I was just curious😁 2020 has definitely been a strange year! Thanks for the responses though. Night all!
Cya
Night!
there's a twist that if Trump was sworn in January and decided a snap election British style for legitimacy reasons, well you cannot do that in the US, if you are sworn in you have used your two terms
unlike if you come from VP
Or they knew what they were doing and took the risk anyways...why not after having the entire arena for 4 yrs already, regardless of who is in office.
McCain conceded the election.
yea Kamala sort of concedes there's still a chance that there is no transition essentially
which interestingly, is not reported
Reported how? 😅
if you report the news then you would say that
instead of going along with the unprecedented "Office of the President Elect" theatre
So she', s hedging her bets? Keep senate seat in case Trump wins?
