Such an interesting question if this run-off finishes as expected and the Senate is in fact 50-50. So I had to look up the other instances where a president died in office. Each of those 8 times, the Vice President who became President did not appoint or carry a Vice President for the remainder of that term.

At Biden’s age and with a 50-50 Senate if that does happen, adding a VP would appear to be almost necessary for that one important duty specifically to break ties in the Senate.

Sorry, I’m not answering the question. I don’t know the answer. Just providing detail that makes the question a pretty critically relevant one.


Fascinating question, to be honest. Is there even an approval process for a new VP? Like, if the Senate is split and there's no VP to break the tie... Could be some serious drama if Senate approval is required for a new VP.

Technically Pelosi is next in line, but that’s be awkward if she now runs both the Senate and the House

Don’t believe the line of succession for the presidency has anything to do with presiding over the Senate. Technically, if the VP is absent, the president pro tempore presides over the Senate. Of course, the president pro tempore cannot break a tie in the Senate because he or she is a Senator who already voted. That’s the dilemma. That’s what makes your question so interesting.

I cared so much more about his race today as well since it’s for a full 6 year term and we haven’t had a popular whire southern Democrat like Ossoff since Bill Clinton. With the way demographics in GA are trending, this is a seat he could hold onto for awhile if he wanted to before maybe running for President in 2032.

Yeah, technically “both parties vote for it” is a true statement, but do you really believe the Democrats as equally as much to blame for our rampant defense spending as Republicans are? The defense budget ballooned under GWB, decreased under Obama (albeit nowhere near as much as I would have liked), and increased again under Trump. There’s an obvious asymmetry between which party spends more on defense that you seem to be in denial about.

At this point we couldn’t really shrink it overnight either, defense spending has become a jobs program in this country and we’d need to replace it with another jobs program. If you were to gut defense spending overnight there would be a lot of communities in muh heartland that would be in total economic ruin.

Theres also economic consequences to what zodiac/Hawley are doing. If the US’s ability to have free and fair elections that aren’t tampered with by whoever is in power is suddenly in doubt, sooner or later our credit rating will go down and the cost of borrowing as a countr my gets worse.

The much better form of widespread debt foregiveness would be medical bill foregiveness.
any spending/tax policy could be construed as vote buying

best argument against student loan forgiveness is that (despite all the stigma/nonsense of every college grad getting a useless gender studies degree) college grads tend to be higher earners than the rest of the population, and that if you are going to give big relief, it probably shouldnt go to people at the higher end of the income chart... though the student loan forgiveness talk largely stems from how college tuition has grossly outpaced inflation/earnings to the point where the people who would normally be the big spenders (young college grads who arent billionaires) are not able to spend, buy homes, etc, and it stagnates the economy.

Garland is almost 70 now, he’d be a retarded SCOTUS pick either way. Obama only picked him because he knew a GOP senate would look more ridiculous stonewalling a milquetoast moderate white male.

Breyer’s replacement on the bench should be a 30 something year old black female civil rights lawyer. If the GOP gets to nominate an unqualified bible thumper to the court just because she’s young then we should match them at that game.

I’m actually liking the Garland pick now. Didn’t know that he prosecuted McVeigh, Unibomber, and the Atlanta Olympics Bombing. An AG well versed in going after right wing terrorists is really important right now.deep background:


After winning the November 1996 presidential election, Clinton renominated Garland on January 7, 1997.Garland's confirmation vote came to the floor of the Republican-controlled Senate on March 19, 1997. He was confirmed in a 76–23 vote and received his judicial commission the next day.The majority of Republican senators voted to confirm Garland, including Senators John McCain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain), Orrin Hatch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orrin_Hatch), Susan Collins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Collins), and Jim Inhofe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Inhofe). Senators Mitch McConnell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_McConnell), Chuck Grassley (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Grassley), and Jeff Sessions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Sessions) were among those who voted against Garland.All of the 23 "no" votes came from Republicans, and all were based "on whether there was even a need for an eleventh seat" on the D.C. Circuit.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrick_Garland
