President Cheney

Now, in 2001, February 7th,a man standing at the White House security gate fired shots at the white house. Now, although nothing happened, what if President Bush was at the wrong place and the wrong time and got shot.

What would a Cheney Presidency look like?

A President Cheney would have made war on all of Americas enemies at same time. He is multitasker and an actor too. Remember Die Hard III ;)
 
What if he wins and runs in '08. 2002-2013... wow
Couldn't happen. If Bush dies and Cheney succeeds him before January 20th 2003, then Cheney is only allowed to run for re-election once (since Cheney would be serving more than half of the term that Bush was* elected for).


* Well, technically he wasn't, but you get it...
 
In terms of Cheney's potential succession issues and dates thereof, an interesting question arises from modern medical science: Let's say that the assassin's bullet leaves a grave, but not instantly fatal, wound. Bush is kept on life support for months, essentially kept alive by machines but totally insensate.

I'll stop here for a moment and respond in advance to everybody thinking they have a creative bon mot to offer up regarding a brain dead Bush in office. You're not original and it's only moderately funny.

Moving along, Cheney is the acting President for that period, until the half-way mark is met. At that point, the First Lady yanks the cord on life support and poof, Cheney ends up being the functional President for almost three terms.
 
There is a procedure for removing a comatose President, which I believe requires the assent of half the Cabinet and the VP.

Which Also, Probably wouldn't Take Place until After The DEAD-Line ...

Unless Congress Objects, And it was Pretty Pliant even Before 9/11 ...

Cheney will get his 10 Years as President!

*Evil Laugh*
