    I’m not gonna say it would be wrong to happen that way, but I do feel like it would be a disservice to civil rights for the first woman president to be a matter of technicality, deigned to be given by an old white man. It would always be a bit marred by that.

      While I don’t disagree. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had already discussed this possibility. And seriously, what is the difference between him stepping down after the next election or 3 months ago? It’s more likely than not to happen legitimately versus “health issues”.

        To clarify, I mean becoming president through the vice presidency, vs being elected as president outright.
