There IS a way for Hillary to be President!

Dems could elect her Speaker. Then .....it's Mueller time."

sez Richard Painter, Prof. of law at the University of MN, was chief White House ethics lawyer for Pres. George W. Bush from '05 to '07. Currently serves as vice chairman of CREW
In fact, the Speaker does not even have to be a member of the House:
Under the Constitution, the speaker does not have to be a member of the House. He or she doesn’t have to be an elected lawmaker or government official. The speaker can be an ordinary, private citizen.
In fact, there really are not any legal restrictions on qualifications for that office. The relevant words are from the Constitution’s Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5: “The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker and other Officers."

Most of the DUmmies, in typical DUmmie fashion, are willing to cling to even the smallest sliver, except for a few:

7. How many times is this silly idea going to be trotted out?
Clinton doesn't want it. The House Democratic caucus almost certainly doesn't want it. And even if it happened, there is no realistic scenario whereby she becomes president.
Give it a rest already.
But not without the howling shitgibbons attacking:

18. Richard Painter is aware that the Speaker of the House is #3 in the order of succession, behind only
VP Pence.
And he's also aware that Pence may be in deep doo doo.
So he's aware that there IS a realistic scenario for her becoming President.

19. No, he's aware there is not a realistic scenario
Unless he's totally divorced from reality.
Trump and Pence cannot be forced from office except via impeachment and conviction. The Republicans control that process, even if the Democrats take a majority in the House and Senate because it takes 67 votes to impeach. Anyone who believes that the Republicans would allow the impeachment process to move forward simultaneously against both Trump and Pence, or even that the Democrats would name Hillary as speaker, is living in a fantasy world.
Like 90% of DU?

25. And yet he doesn't even know the Speaker doesn't have to be a House member
I believe that qualifies as a "gem". :rotf:

What is she going to do, waddle into the house and announce she is now speaker? :mental: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
Time to put down the bong :stoner: boys & girls and get a little dose of reality. She lost!! TWICE! :tongue: :tongue:

At this point, Hillary has as much of a chance of being selected as house speaker as anybody else in the USA that qualifies to sit in that position. Only you DUmmies continue to prop up that old bitch, like she's something special.

The idea that anyone of any party is going to be elected Speaker without being a sitting Representative is one of those technical possibilities that is practically ridiculous. The succession issue has NEVER actually been invoked, but the Speaker is an essential part of marshaling support for the majority party's legislation agenda and has a pivotal role in getting anything at all to happen in the House, and stopping anything bad from happening there. Except for one or two severely retarded individuals like Mad Maxine, nobody is going to play that.

She can go to Haiti and buy the job with all the Russian uranium money. :-)

This is Hillary we are talking about. She was senator. Congresswomen is a step down.
Clintons only go UP, not down.

First she has to make it up the steps. Good luck with that.

Ok, so Painter had had a CREW full of glue when he huffed out this gem.
Dix had been at Alice's with Lucy in disguise where they watched Easy Rider. She came home mumbling something about Panama and Papers at which point her Dood grabbed the easy widers and rolled her a doobie (of Panama Red).

It all makes perfect sense. :stoner:

Realistic? Yes. Will it happen? Nope... unless Planet X/Nibiru or whatever it is called shows up and kills all of DC. Think the Last Ship here, dummies. Zombie apocalypse. Dogs and cats living together.
In other words, simple words that you dummies can understand, there are two chances it will happen. Slim and none. BTW... Slim just left building with the fat lady that sang last November on election nite.
Have a nice 4 years. :-)

So if Pence is #2 in succession, who is #1 in succession?
