    Well, no. It’s saying, IF the President BECOMES unfit to lead for any reason, the VP should be expected to take over. This is a topic of literally every election.

    If a VP isn’t ready to take over, they are a bad VP. There’s a reason why VPs have a debate before elections on policy.

      You are literally right, but politically wrong. How shit like that plays can be very different from the carefully parsed out phrasing. This is one of the reasons that Republicans consistently kick the shit out of Democrats on messaging.

      Democratic politicians love getting high on their own farts with clever language and nuanced takes. They do this shit all the time because they are so deeply out of touch.
