Say Bush had to resign over this cover up mess...

[YEM]

Wouldn't that mean Cheyney would be Pres? YIKES!

[aquart]

1. Cheney would get hit first. Scooter Libby.

Nope. Think President Hastert.

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. No, that's not how is goes

Cheney resigns first and Bu$h has to appoint a replacement that must be approved by Congress. Then Bu$h resigns and that person becomes president, not Hastert. That's how Gerald Ford ended up becoming President.

13. Not quite

Ford became veep and later Pres because Spiro Agnew resigned. A year or so before Nixon resigned.

If Bush resigned now (with Cheney still veep) then Cheney would be Pres.

Do you still disagree?

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. No, you are correct

In that case Cheney would nominate someone to replace himself and Congress would still have to approve.

[Toots]

6. Which makes one wonder why Hastert hasn't let a few things slip out.

Any one of these pigs would sell their own mother if it meant more power for themselves.

[clydefrand]

2. He already is! Don't you remember who the puppeteer is?

Why else would Bush sit in a classroom for 7 minutes? He was waiting for Cheney to make the decisions for him because he's too damn chickenshit stupid to make any for himself.

4. I don't think Cheney would survive public scrutiney

but he is probably doomed already.

[shance]

10. Cheney is at the core of this. Not Rove or Libby.

It all goes back to Cheney.

[Turbineguy]

5. So maybe the stage

is getting set for Cheney to resign for "health" reasons.

"Resignation with Honor"

[marions ghost]

7. hmmm...

yeah if they play the Cheney health card we'll know it's getting bad for them.

[amber dog democrat]

11. Guess this means he can't run for prez

Not that I ever believed he would.

[comradebillyboy]

8. about as likely as the rapture

but, if the impossible happens, i think two years of president big dick would sink the pukes for a generation

[amber dog democrat]

12. I thought the Rapture was a big bird

that flew off to Heaven with fundies in its talons.

[Somawas]

9. Unless the leak gets pinned on Libbey

it will be Cheney. But I doubt that GW will resign over it. He'll have to be impeached, convicted and removed from office to get rid of his sorry ass.
