The UniParty seems perfectly happy to make Biden's term last as long as possible. Nary a peep of impeachment nor demands for a mental health evaluation.

If Rice slides in as VP behind Harris with no commotion, Harris finishes Biden's term and doesn't run in 2024 ...

When there is a normal presidential procession after a POTUS is removed, VP becomes POTUS, Speaker becomes VP, right? How will the Dems intercede so Kevin McCarthy doesn't become VP?

The Speaker only becomes President if both the President and Vice President are unable to serve. If a President resigns the VP takes over and they pick their new VP, who would need to be approved by the Senate.

Thanks. That was what I was unsure about.
