Yes.

Dukakis, Gore, Kerry and who knows how many others who LOST.

Article II, section a million delivers that: In case of the removing of the President from place of work, or of his loss of life, resignation, or lack of ability to discharge the powers and responsibilities of the pronounced place of work, the comparable shall devolve on the vice chairman … till the incapacity be bumped off, or a President elected. This initially left open the question no rely if "the comparable" refers to "the pronounced place of work" or in trouble-free terms "the powers and responsibilities of the pronounced place of work". some historians argue that the framers' objective replaced into that the vice chairman could stay vice chairman on a similar time as executing the powers and responsibilities of the presidency; despite the fact that if, there is likewise plenty data to the different, the main compelling of this is Article I, section 2, of the form itself, the proper text fabric of which reads: The vice chairman of usa would be President of the Senate, yet shall have not have been given any vote, except they be the two divided. The Senate shall choose their different officers, and likewise a President professional tempore, interior the absence of the vice chairman, or whilst he shall exercising the place of work of President of usa. this article looks to respond to the hypothetical question of no rely if the place of work or in trouble-free terms the powers of the presidency devolved upon the vice chairman on his succession. for this reason, the twenty 5th modification in trouble-free terms restates and reaffirms the validity of present precedent, apart from including useful new protocols for presidential incapacity. yet, of path, no longer every physique agreed with this interpretation whilst it replaced into first positioned to the attempt, and it replaced into left to John Tyler, the 1st presidential successor in U.S. history, to be certain the precedent that replaced into respected interior the absence of the twenty 5th modification. upload: in the previous election day? they could postpon the election a pair weeks. perhaps a month. the two events could agree. it may then be a party dicision to bypass with the veep candidate or to do despite the fact that.

Answer 10

No.



I think what we have to watch out for is two things: The complacency of his supporters ("He's got it all tied up, so I can skip voting") and something no one can affect, which is the last second cowardice of people who almost, just nearly almost voted for the first black man as president, but chickened out when they were handed the pen and ballot because something didn't feel right (America's lasting racist heritage).
