Is Walken going back to Missouri on Sunday after the private swearing in of will he be at the formal inauguration on Monday?

Riley could run. Cassidy. Another couple of dark horses: Rob Buchanan, the newly elected senator from Virginia, and North Carolina governor McNamara.

Question. Is Walken going to make any kind of farewell address before the 20th?

Seaborn can always choose Hollis again in 2022.

He could have abstained.

Here is my only concern about a shotgun pairing of Seaborn and Hollis: I just hope that if that does happen, it won't start the countdown to the inevitable 2022 election between Seaborn and Hunter. I know that that is a long time off, but I would like to see at least some suspense in the...

Well, President Bartlett did have a debilitating illness, unlike Martin Sheen.

Or the Walkens could spend the night of the 20th at Blair House before heading back to Missouri on the 21st.

It looks like there is precedent. Rutherford B. Hayes took office on March 4, 1877, which was a Sunday. Hayes took the Oath of Office in private in the Red Room of the White House on March 4th and took it again publicly on March 5th.

Let me research inaugurations pre 1937, when Inauguration Day was changed from March 4th to January 20th. I'll see if there was ever a new president that took office on a Sunday with a March 4th inauguration.

I was thinking about that too, Inauguration Day being on Sunday, and in real life, since January 20th has been Inauguration Day, on the days it fell on Sunday, it was all Presidents being sworn in for their second term (Eisenhower in 1957, Reagan in 1985, and Obama in 2013.) I think that since...

Actually, I think Hunter is up again in 2020, not 2022. When Mark first started on this storyline in 2009, he had about 40 Senate races in 2010 and he staggered some of them to be up again in 2014 to even the number of Senate races per cycle. Minnesota was one of those states. Florida...

I don't believe that is the case. The Vice President has to be sworn in before he becomes vice president. He could say before the day of the senate vote, "I will not take the oath of office if elected." Another thing to remember is that The Republicans will have a 52-48 majority in the...

Unless Hunter changed his mind and said, "If elected, I will not serve."

You mean the two butt buddies?

But that is a moot point. It Seaborn names a new Vice President before the electors meet, the electors vote on that person. Congress does not confirm him/her. The Senate only matters if Hollis were to step down after the electors met or resigned from office.

You mentioned Skinner as a possible new Vice President. Why would Fitzsimmons suggest a Republican?

Disregard my above post. I see Mark already said that.

If the electors meet on December 17, it's not too late for Hollis to withdraw and Seaborn to name another vice president. I remember from the Election Day episode after Leo McGarry died that a new Vice President can be named before the electors meet and they can vote on that person. If a new...

Are you still going to put up PDF results for the Senate and Gubernatorial elections?
