Reminds me of Wayne Palmer on the FOX TV Show "24" who served only 3 months as President (anybody watched that show before ?).
When Wayne had that stroke during the press conference, VP Noah Daniels became President for good (after Wayne died off-screen) & finished out the remainder of Wayne's term.

Harris would have to nominate a VP pick & the shortlist might range from United States Senators or Governors IF Uncle Joe is NOT able to finish out his term.
Yes, Harris would pick someone and the house and Senate would need to vote and confirm them.
AKA a handpicked pawn of Pelosi, unless it happens after a (not certain) 2022 red wave.
However that runs into Kamala still then being about to run in 2028, if it only happens after 2022.
And if 2022 sees an...engineered blue wave....nothing good happens.

No refunds.
Just noticed this....
The difference is that HR4 can't be passed as part of the same kind of spending trick. It HAS to pass the currenty filibuster vote, which is 60 votes.
NOW, they might try and rejigger the rules in the Senate, but that would be a HUGE problem with the split Senate.
Like I said earlier this is how an entire administration dies. Mark my words and you can quote me on it. Not a single member of that administration from the lowly mail clerk to the Senile in Chief will be left by the end of September. And yes that includes Kamala. She already admitted earlier this year she was a key figure in the Afghanistan withdrawal plan of this sham of an Administration.BREAKING: U.S. Troops Wounded in Suicide Bombing in Afghanistan as Biden Hides

Reconcilation, and that is able to go through because they don't need 60 votes to pass, they just need 51 under the rules (that's an over simplified version). But reconciliation ONLY applies to actual budget items, which is why the Senate parliamentarian (the person who referees points of order and procedure) told them the $15 an hour minimum wage they tried stuffing in doesn't count.
Eh, Sinema more than Manchin, really, when it comes to spending. What you have to remember is, being a minority party, they can't do much to overrule Democrats on spending without some help. However, the bills to change voting laws and such HAVE been blocked because the Republicans refuse to go along with them and 60 votes are needed. So saying "they're useless" completely ignores 1) the fact that they are blocking shit that shouldn't be passed and 2) there is only so much they can do as a minority. Oh, and 3) This is why McConnell was absolutely right to tell Trump to go fuck himself when Trump was screaming at him to nuke the legislative filibuster, because if it had been then things like HR 1 and HR 4, plus packing the court and voting to make DC a state would have sailed through with the Republicans powerless to actually stop the brakes.
Hoping Sinema and Manchin put the brakes on stuff is a very dangerous move, because they're Democrats and really don't give a fuck what conservative voters think per se, but rather what they think they can get away with in terms of what their voters will tolerate.
What's even more fun is that said pick would likely be way more popular than she herself is. Biden's approval is current at 46%. Harris is at 37%.
Then it sets off a civil war in the Democratic Party because the two of them will be fighting over who should be the nominee.
Honestly Biden winning 2020 is a net positive for conservatives, because it's as much a wake up call to at least heed the grass roots while at the same time reconciling with the establishment GOP and the more independent minded voters, as well as reaching out more to minorities.
Wonder if the ticket for 2024 would be DeSantis/Stefanik? The latter is kind of young for it, but she's also from New York so the only other potential option she has is to run for governor -and given that she's said a lot of favorable stuff about Trump I doubt that she'd be able to really win statewide, sadly.*
*-Personally I think she is important as a face of the GOP going forward but I think being in New York her options are kind of limited.
