Just throwing this out there to induce nightmares.
Is there any reason Trump can't dump Pence and choose Ivanka?

(5,439 posts)the fundies are now trump's people. he no longer needs pence.
which faction of his coalition needs a boost? maybe paul ryan or rand paul for the ayn rand loons?
but not only could he choose Ivanka, (or more likely jr.) but could resign after the election.

This would be seen as shameless propping up of a family member to rule America, thinking that will save the women's vote for Republicans. Ivanka is of the Orthodox Jewish sect and her husband, possesses NO MORALS.

ProudMNDemocrat
(16,808 posts)This law was passed by Congress in 1969 to prevent a President from having in his administration a Sibling, Child, Parent, In-Laws, and other extended family that shows favoritism, that also could lead to corruption.

(16,808 posts)I did that by looking at the equation. The Trumps are not that smart to do that without writing it down or using the calculator.

(11,949 posts)Because I fully expect when he loses he will resign a few days before the Democratic President is sworn in and have Pence Pardon him. After he pardons Pence. If necessary. Pence may have deniability.
