Question: What's The Absolute Latest Democrats Can Put In A Replacement Candidate For Hillary?

[Steve_McGarrett]

Say if she goes and gets nominated at the convention but then afterwards she gets indicted. Is there a timetable before the November election that a candidate can be selected to replace her?

 

[Jackson]

I think they are sunk if she is indicted after the convention.

Yeah, they'll put somebody in there and won't give a shit about the rules OR the law.

Looks like you're going to hold on to that fantasy to the very end. Have you come up with a conspiracy theory yet to explain why it doesn't happen?

Sweet Baby Jesus--she's not going to get indicted. When you're indicted for something it's because you have committed a CRIME. The FBI has already stated that Hillary Clinton did nothing that would be considered a crime.

Furthermore, if they were going to indict her for a "crime",they would also have to indict Colin Powell and Condi Rice for a "crime", as they have the same email issues.

Question: What's The Absolute Latest Democrats Can Put In A Replacement Candidate For Hillary?


There isn't any "latest date".

For example:
People vote in November, and Trump gets a popular majority in every state. But after the votes are counted, Hillary is found to somehow get more Electoral College members in all the areas heavily controlled by Democrats, and is elected President. She's inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2017.

A few months later she is indicted. Rather than go through an impeachment trial, she has a quiet meeting with Vice President Sanders, and reminds him of a few things she knows about his past. He promptly resigns. She then appoints Bill as her new Vice President. He is confirmed by the remaining Democrats and spineless RINOS in the Senate.

Whereupon Hillary resigns the Presidency, and Bill becomes President.

Remember, the Constitution only says that a person cannot be elected President more than twice....

Right, and the FBI didn't take the time, effort or expense to bring a Romanian hacker from is jail cell to prove he penetrated the hildabitches server and compromised all that classified information did they? Oh wait they did, and their keeping him for 18 months in anticipation of a trial, but there couldn't have possible been any law broken, nope not a freaking one. LMAO

Remember, the Constitution only says that a person cannot be elected President more than twice....

According to the U.S. Constitution, Bill Clinton could never become Hillary's Vice President. First, the Constitution provides that a Vice President cannot be elected if he/she is constitutional ineligible to the office of President. Second, the Constitution provides that no person can hold the office of President for more than two terms. Therefore, since Bill Clinton has served two terms as President he cannot hold that office again, and since he is unqualified for the office of the presidency he cannot become Vice President. The relevant portions of the Constitution are found in Amendments XII and XXII and they are provided below.

Amendment XII
“The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States” (emphasis my own).

Amendment XXII
Section 1
“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.”

Bill would not be eligible to run for the office of Vice President. When the Constitution says, “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States” it means that no one who is ineligible to be ELECTED President can serve as Vice President. So what does it take to be eligible to run for the office of president? Well, according to Article II, Section 1, he must be a natural born citizen, at least 35 years old and have resided in the United States for 14 years; further, according to Amendment 22, Section 1, he cannot have been previously elected to the office for two terms.

You seem to think that a vice president Bill could serve again as President if something happened to Hillary because he would be appointed to that position rather than being elected. I have a Juris Doctorate and have studied Constitutional Law. Your interpretation of the Constitution is in error. The law is simple: If someone is ineligible to run for President, he is also ineligible to serve as Vice President.

You can have the last word. I am done with this thread.

If' they'd only have used the Romulan Hacker Guy, she'd be in jail today. I weep. (-: This is so funny.

The GOP has 48% of the pop saying emails are a serious issue, and 25% of dems, but the facts are out, and the story has no legs. Meanwhile the GOP curiously chose not to focus on how much she knew when she was SoS about Bill and Chelsea's fundraisers for the Foundations.

The Last day a Democrat could declare and run with a 100% chance of winning would be November 7th 2016.

According to the U.S. Constitution, Bill Clinton could never become Hillary's Vice President.

As you have shown, the Constitution says nothing of the kind.

First, the Constitution provides that a Vice President cannot be elected if he/she is constitutional ineligible to the office of President.

Second, the Constitution provides that no person can hold the office of President for more than two terms.

As I pointed out in the OP, the Constitution does not say that.

Therefore, since Bill Clinton has served two terms as President he cannot hold that office again,

The Constitution does not say that, as you and I have both pointed out.

and since he is unqualified for the office of the presidency

As I have pointed out, he is not unqualified.

he cannot become Vice President.

As I have pointed out, he can be.

And you have failed to cite ANY references that say otherwise, except for factually incorrect statements that your own examples contradict, and wishful thinking about what it "really means".

Amendment XII
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States” (emphasis my own).

As I have pointed out, and you have failed to refute, Bill is not "ineligible" to the office of Vice-President, or of President. He is merely ineligible to be elected President. But as I have pointed out, there are ways that a person can legally (i.e. in conformance with the Constitution) become President without being elected.

When the Constitution says, “But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States” it means that no one who is ineligible to be ELECTED President can serve as Vice President.

There is no indication that the Constitution means that. The people who wrote and ratified the 12th and 22nd amendments, carefully used the word "elected" when they intended to, and carefully left it out when they didn't mean "elected".

I have a Juris Doctorate

Better ask for your money back, because they got you to believe things that aren't true. As your own examples in this thread show.

and have studied Constitutional Law.

Try studying the Constitution instead. What it says, and what it does NOT say. You might be surprised how different the Constitution is from so-called "Constitutional Law".

"Constitutional Law" is not the study of what the Constitution means. It is merely the study of what other people claim the Constitution says. Much of which is demonstrably wrong. This thread brings out one such example.

15 minutes before the election............

Or 15 minutes after. Or 15 days or weeks.

Then her carefully-picked VP becomes President.

That sound you all heard, was "The Professor" running away at high speed from the debate, tail tucked firmly between his hind legs, trying to hide before the contradictions in his posts are pointed out for all to see.
