If we could get rid of Joe and Kamala right now, but only replace them with past presidential candidates, who would you pick as the new US President?

[MCheetah]

I asked this before, but with Midterms coming up in the US, I want to update this question.

This is part two of a two-part question.

Al Gore (D)

Sarah Palin (R)

Jill Stein (I)

Hillary Clinton (D)

Mike Pence (R)

Tulsi Gabbard (I)

I want to keep Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as President and VP! 🤪

Only two I didn't put up here is John Kerry and Mitt Romney, cause NO ONE wants to see them as president! What would be the point of adding them? Was considering Andrew Yang as well, but not enough poll options. And I would've included John McCain, but he dead! 😐

I went with Tulsi. She will eventually be president. I stil;l would like to see Trump come back because he has a lot of unfinished business.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[RealMarek]

Rand Paul or Tulsi Gabbard. Very different policy ideas in some ways, but neither are beholden to the deep state.

[KayMay]

Ron Paul

[JustiReno]

@KayMay Ron Paul is a dim old man

[KayMay]

@JustiReno
And a surgeon. You're on GAG.

[JustiReno]

@KayMay wasn’t he a gyno or am I mistaken? Ok you’ve corrected me, he’s a creepy, dim, old man

Never mind that man delivered babies !

[WarrenH]

Crappy choices all around.

Sarah Palin and Mike Pence were presidential candidates? (I know they were running-mates of presidential candidates.)

[MCheetah]

I'm counting Vice Presidential candidates as well.

[inhua]

mike pence and sarah palin might be the only ones out of the list willing to fix this egregious cost of living

[MCheetah]

*Maybe* Sarah Palin. I doubt Mike Pence would do anything but cash his checks from the various corporations, but that's just my opinion.

[monorprise]

It would be a very bad precedent to get rid of any sitting president and vice president except by the previously established rules of the Constitution which name the speaker of the house and senate as their successors.

[TroyDT2]

That is actually The Presidential Succession Act of 1947.

[monorprise]

@TroyDT2 Your right the rules of the constitution in Article 2 Section 1 specified who comes after the vice president as being an 'officer' defined in an act of congress. None of the people given in the poll are currently officers.

Thankfully the constitutionally authorized Presidential succession act does clearly define officers.

[TroyDT2]

Yup. I only mentioned the Act because the order has varied. Truman hated that an unelected person was his successor (since there was no VP after he succeeded FDR) so he pushed to change the law so that at least the first two would be elected. And realistically, barring a "Designated Successor" type of catastrophe, it is not going to get past the Speaker.

[monorprise]

@TroyDT2 Before the atomic bomb and modern proliferation of WMD tecnoligy that seemed a bit more reasonable not to expect such 'catastrophes' situation that the first and only 3 elected people in line would all become victims at the same time.

Unfortunately those 3 people are predictably and often in the same city at the same time as the president. Often within 100 feet of each other.

I personalty think if we are going to go with elected people, some sort of EU type rotation of State Governors would work better in at least making it realistic an attack that doesn't cripple the entire country also doesn't leave us without elected leadership.

[TroyDT2]

I personally think governors, elected executives, make far more sense than Speaker or Senate Pro Tempore.

[monorprise]

@TroyDT2 The trouble with such a scheme is fairness, and known order among the states as we certainly wouldn't agree any 1 particular order so it would have to be rotating that makes it harder for everyone to know who's next in line.

[TroyDT2]

Gary Johnson and Jo Jorgensen both got more votes than Jill Stein. Of those two, Jorgensen. Johnson was a Libertine Authoritarian, not a libertarian.

[MCheetah]

Not where I'm from. Most people there never even heard of Gary Johnson. And honestly, I forgot he even existed, too.

[Den1971]

Donald trump. Only for gas prices 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Den1971]

And technically he did it single handedly. He can get along with anyone

[KayMay]

I'm gonna have to go with Tulsi.

[888theGreat]

3 people are retarded

[A_Bell]

Rand Paul.

[KayMay]

Ron Paul.

[Fuentes]

He NEVER got any credibility back after that. Kinda surprised you said him.

[Fuentes]

He was always a better pick then Hilary or Biden

[JustiReno]

Brainwashing matters

[Fuentes]

@JustiReno yeah I never supported BLM I just supported him because he was running agaisnt Hilary who called black children Super Predators

[JustiReno]

Naw I can’t believe they did this … at Bernie sanders rally really … did they get paid for this stunt or something?

[Fuentes]

@JustiReno all they did was prove how stupid and ignorant blm is

[JesseJayNeak]

Either Palin or Gabbard

[msc545]

Maybe Abraham Lincoln

[worldscolide]

Ron DeSantis..

[MCheetah]

He's not a PAST candidate. He may not even run for president.
