Chapter 1,295 Successor(2/2)
Lynn Jobs said very embarrassedly.
Now that the big guys are trapped, the only qualified person is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. If the Speaker is bypassed and a Secretary of Health and Human Services whom no one knows takes over... it will be too controversial.
Even the Minister of Service cannot accept it himself.
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes... that is to immediately rush to the Senate, hold a vote, and elect a temporary speaker. Then the temporary president will perform the duties of the Senate President, and then proceed with the Presidential Succession Act." Lynn Jobs gave a solution that is not a solution.
This method is not the best. After all, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is still outside and is qualified and capable to take over the duties of the President. It would be superfluous and unconstitutional for you to put so much effort into electing a temporary Senate Speaker.
"But the best way is to get Speaker Exon to accept it."
The consequences of the military's violation of the constitution are too serious.
None of the parties want to see the U.S. military involved in politics.
It is too easy to form a military government. The U.S. military is influential, has force, even financial resources, and has huge interest groups. If they are allowed to come into contact with the political power... the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Especially for politicians.
"Okay...as soon as possible!"
…
On an airplane.
A gray-haired old man was having a video conference with a group of people.
"Exxon, this is our opportunity as a Republican!"
These are some big shots from the Democratic Party.
"Yes, Benjamin has changed the Presidential Term Act. If we don't do something, we Republicans will not have a chance for many years to come!"
Benjamin is indeed a very popular president. Although he suffered many disasters, voters still trust him. After all, although there were many disasters during his tenure, he did not cause any major troubles. No one thinks that the earth will enjoy peace in the future.
, so instead of letting a new person take over, it would be better for Benjamin to stay in office. At least he is doing a good job, right?
No one wants to bet on an uncertain new president in an uncertain future.
As Benjamin's term progresses, the members of the Nuclear Party have become the majority in both houses. If this continues, the future of the Nuclear Party will be worrying!
"Cheney...Benjamin is still alive now! Is it really okay for us to discuss this?"
Speaker Exon said with a bitter look.
Speaker Exxon is not an outstanding politician, he was just promoted by Benjamin to balance the two parties. This is evident from his background as a nuclear supplier.
After all, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is also elected by members of the House of Representatives, so most of the time the Speaker of the House of Representatives comes from the majority party, but unfortunately, the majority parties in both houses now are the Democratic Party.
To put it bluntly, Exxon's rise to power was entirely based on Benjamin's concessions to the nuclear supply party in order to balance the two parties.
Although he made concessions, Benjamin could not let a powerful figure check and balance him, so Exxon was a kind of moderate good old guy with little courage and no strong political resources. He was just a mascot.
The big guys from the nuclear supply party opposite also had bitter looks on their faces.
Of course they know what Exxon is like.
Even they can understand the reason why Exxon is unwilling to take over. They all say that Exxon is a good old guy, has no courage, and his political resources are not comparable to those of the big guys. Even if he becomes the president, he will still be a puppet.
And after a short term, he will definitely get out immediately. No matter they, the Donkey Party or the Elephant Party, it is impossible for him to remain in the position of president. After all, Qin lost his deer and the whole world chased him away. Exxon itself has no ability.
Why let him sit? Everyone is waiting to take the seat!
This president has a damn thing, he has no power, and he wants to get out right away.
What are you going up for?
"No more hesitation! Exxon!" It's understandable, but it's impossible for the Donkey Party to let such a good opportunity go away!
What a great opportunity is this?
Once the matter is over, no matter how good Benjamin is, they can all promote the next one. No matter how good Exxon is, he can always get some credit. A name that is called upon in times of crisis is indispensable, right?
Although Exxon has no use for this credit, it can benefit other candidates of the Donkey Party!
Then the president can fight for it?
Chapter completed!
