@Teri_Kanefield Even if it is constitutional, I am reminded of the old tradition that only one person on a ship can be called "captain", regardless of rank.
This is also one reason we quickly amended the Constitution to stop putting the runner-up as VP. It only takes a moment's thought and a little experience with...people like Jordan, to see the obvious outcomes in a moment of crisis.
And if such moment fails to happen by chance, surely it will be nudged along.
@Teri_Kanefield Two people not likely to work together well. A power sharing agreement could be worked out-one presides and manages the calendar, the other assigns committees & chairs the rules committee, etc. But it would be gimpy, at best, and subject to explosion at any time.
@Teri_Kanefield One wonders if the point is to shut down the government, and throw everything into chaos. Finish shunting aside Rs unwilling to break their constitutional oaths, and set the House up to defy the next election...at least in the minds of the few that have their hands on the levers. Some may fear prosecution, and like TFG, are willing to torch us all to keep it from happening. If they succeed, then the insurrection has leveled up.
@Teri_Kanefield I know how it would work. McCarthy would be made to do whatever Jordan wants him to do. Jordan would do nothing but make inflammatory statements.
