But as long as there seems to be a "need" to continue to try to figure out some way to get rid of Obama instead of actually winning an election--something that is beginning to appear very unlikely--maybe we should discuss what might happen if he actually was removed from office for not satisfying the legal requirement for holding office. Vice President Biden would be elevated to POTUS. I suppose John Boehner would become Vice President.
Y'know that might not be too bad. Biden is probably more stable and experienced than any of the candidates beating one another up trying to get the GOP nomination to run against Obama in the fall. And if we got Boehner out of the leadership of the House, where he's done a simply awful job, that's not all bad either.

When Richard Nixon was forced to resign because of the Watergate scandal and Gerald Ford became president, he appointed New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller his vice-president. The only way the speaker-of-the-house becomes president is if both the president and vice president are incapacitated.
