@Vilageidiotx Actually it's not "Business as usual" under Pence because should a president be impeached and convicted (impeach just means to bring up the charges) both the president and the VP are forced out of office.
Then if the presidency is filled by the rule of succession, the US House Speaker becomes president.
My suspicion would be a special US election would happen.
That's only if it is the election itself brought into question. If the President is impeached due to something that he does while in office, and the Vice President isn't implicated in the wrong doing, then the Vice President takes over. Out system treats those involved as individuals, so the Vice President isn't going to be charged with a crime the President alone does.
Gary Johnson would sign the TPP, nuff said. It's gotta be Trump. Anyone who's willing to support the TPP, either doesn't know what it'll do, or doesn't give a shit about the American people.
Trump will most likely pass TPP. He'll either whine for a few weeks then pass it saying he had to compromise to get his wall built, or he will veto it, allow it to be reborn later on in different clothes, and let it slip by in the political off season. TPP is one of those things, so pre-ordained by American capitalism, that there is no holding it back. The forces for it are simply waaaaayyy too strong for the forces against it to succeed. The best victory you can hope for is to change the name. Will it fuck over the American people? Yes. But there is no stopping that short of figuring out a way to kill capitalism wholesale, which is a tall order to say the least.
Don't know if I've said this before, but there's something inescapably sexy about Ann Coulter.
Isn't she, like, 60 or something?
