This woman IS deranged. It’s hilarious that she’s demanding a timetable for anything from anyone and assuming she is a person of any consequence.

If he were dead, she would assume the remainder of his term and only be eligible for one of her own. The only way this argument makes sense is if they are scared they are going to lose and don’t want an incumbent in the next election.

I was wrong. See all the replies.

They aren’t kidding that the quickest way to get a right answer on the internet is to post a wrong one.

Not true- she can serve 2 full terms, plus up to half of a term if she were to assume the remainder.

Really? I didn’t know that. That’s great. Other than he’s not dead so it doesn’t matter, but still I didn’t mean to misinform.

That’s not true actually. She would have to be president for 2 or more years in that scenario. So she could have been pres for 1.9 years already and still eligible for 2 more terms.

I don’t believe that would affect her two terms. The 22 amendment talks how many times a person can be elected to be a president.

It does, but I was incorrect. She would have to serve over half his term.

Not even that. The 22nd Amendment states that a person can only be elected to the office twice, unless they’ve served two or more years of somebody’s else’s term, in which case they can only be elected once. Five months away from the next inauguration, it would change nothing if Harris had to take over the Presidency for some reason.

This isn’t true, though.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Since she’s inside the window of two years, it would not count as a first term.

This is simply not true. She would only lose out on a term if she has taken the majority of bidens, not the last 6 months. You can serve for up to 10 years total.
