was for Cheney to step down at start of 2008; with Rice taking the VP slot. She’d get approved no problem. Then W would resign, making Rice the official POTUS. (Just like how Ford became POTUS)

Game Set Match. First African-American Woman President.

The Hillabama mystique is nullified by August 2008.

Likely the SecState does not have to resign: she is in the executive branch. Having a POTUS in the Legislative Branch would be a conflict.

if Bush and Cheney, having realized this, had simultaneously submitted their resignations on January 19…..

I suppose its best for the country that they don’t have quite the same sadistic streak I do.

that attempting to differentiate Socialism, Fascism, Marxism, and the rest of the totalitarian regimes that spring from Marx’s work was pretty much like arguing about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. All of them focus on empowering a totalitarian regime to dictate how everyone else should live, and their minor quibbles with each other are less important that than the major distinction from a society founded in liberty. I also thought he made the case that Progressivism falls into the same category, they’ve just managed to engage in sufficient verbal jujitsu so that they aren’t recognized as the scourge on mankind that they actually are.

The Lincoln Bible would have started sizzling and steaming upon the O’s touch.

Wouldn’t that have set the press a spinning if it really happened.

I’m sorry that book was desecrated in such a way in reality though.

I’d say he was even more socialist than FDR.

but I see Wilson as more of a fascist than socialist. The Committee on Public Information and the Sedition Act come to mind.

"If we are to believe that "classic" fascism is first and foremost the elevation of martial values and the militarization of government and society under the banner of nationalism, it is very difficult to understand why the Progressive Era was not also the Fascist Era."

I’m not sure it matters.

If a legal beagle could look at this and explain it, I’d be very amused to hear their opinion. ;o)

From 12:01 to 12:04?

“(11) Accordingly, from 12:00 noon until 12:01 p.m. (when Vice President Biden took the oath of office…..”

I take a moment to pray that is the ONLY time he’s ever president.

If Obama isn’t President at 12:01 because he wasn’t sworn in yet, isn’t Rice also not President at 12:01 because she wasn’t sworn in yet? Isn’t the entire premise of your argument that you have to have been sworn in to be President?

If you read Jonah’s Liberal Fascism you will discover the introduction of some socialism to America by Woodrow Wilson. FDR just regurgitated and expanded some of Wilson’s ideas.

FDR was the first socialist president. It seems that President Obama is relegated to second-fiddle once again.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but what happened to Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Byrd? Have they not been elected as Speaker and Pro-Temp of the 111th yet?
