Here’s the Presidential Order of Succession ... Just in Case


Jason Silverstein put together a helpful list for when the current administration implodes. I'm just wondering how far we have to go down before we get to Justin Trudeau ...

1. Vice President Pence 
2. House Speaker Paul Ryan 
3. President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch 
4. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson 
5. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin 

Keep going HERE.

I'll tell you far how I'm willing to go down for Justin Trudeau...

Hold off before impeachment. You'll end up with either Pence or Ryan. But, if we can take back the house in 2018, then we can make Hillary Speaker of the House. The Speaker does not have to be a member of the House. Then impeach BOTH Trump & Pence and Hillary becomes President.

I'd take Pence or Ryan over Trump. They're both completely horrible, but at least they are completely horrible in the "acceptable" way and follow societal norms. Trump's instability is dangerous beyond belief.

As frightened as I am now - I would sort of like to see Trump stay in office until he completely breaks down or until the Republican party breaks down - I don't care which comes first
Have you ever seen a longer list of losers -

@mmtampa - i catch myself laughing at the meltdowns at both trump and the gop until i realize some of their sh*t will stick for decades...

Well... As it has been suggested, if we give ourselves back to being ruled by the Queen of England, she could decide we're not worth the trouble and make the US another Canadian Territory, so actually the line of succession could be surprising short. (Win!)
