Which the president as head of the executive branch is required to execute.
- bilbo0s 13y agoSigh... OK... let's walk your suggestion through. The President resigns. The Vice-President succeeds. The Vice-President is now the President. Now the NEW President is obliged by US Law... to violate US Law. So we enact your solution again... The NEW President resigns... This time the Speaker succeeds... The Speaker is now the President. Now THAT new President is obliged by US Law... to violate US Law. So we enact your solution again... Do you see the problem yet?
- fleitz 13y agoNot really, eventually you run out of people to execute laws that can't be executed. Eventually the government becomes a laughing stock and folds.
- pyre 13y agoMany people starve to death (among other things) in the ensuing confusion... Either you're very angry at the world, or you're just a troll.
- fleitz 13y agoHave you ever considered that in the last 15 years more people have died as a result of the actions of the US government than are prevented from starving to death by the US government?
- pyre 13y agoIf you want to contribute something constructive to this conversation, then I suggest that you put together some sort of report/study to demonstrate your thought that over the last 15 years more people have died as a result of US government actions than would die in the ensuing chaos around the fall of western civilization.
- jbooth 13y agoIt's been spelled out like 6 times in this thread that this crisis creates contradictory legal obligations for the executive branch that are logically impossible to fulfill. If you're really not understanding that, perhaps you should consider rephrasing your objection as a humble question.
