COUPDATE LIVE FEED: your one-stop source for "WTF IS HAPPENING" (UPDATED)

[Lumine]

I don't suppose we can stop the ridiculous nonsense for a few hours so President Tyrion can take over, right? (Rhetorical question, I know the answer very well)

[Lumine]

So Tyrion is on mod review now? What happens if he's banned for having sock accounts? Who's president then?

Well, the line of succession is VP, SoEA, AG, SoIA and PPT, so the current situation has Cranberry in first place and me second. Bacon King could be confirmated by the end of the week (considering the remaining questioning and voting time) and then he would be first in line. Since Tyrion stated that he plans to appoint the VP and SoEA (among others) by Wednesday, the best case scenario has the entire line of succession in place and taking office by mid/end of next week.

Indeed!

I have to say I agree with Oakvale, it wouldn't have been really legitimate to have me on the White House in the middle of a term set for a Labor administration, not to mention being an unelected President doesn't really appeal to me, xD

We had a fluke in which almost the entire cabinet was vacant, a situation which sadly was not predictable in any way. That said, the Constitution is going to need quite a few more amendments thanks to this...

That does bring back a lot of memories. I don't regret refusing to take an unelected Presidency, but those were some troubling (if ironically fun) times.

I really miss Cranberry though. Easily one of the best Presidents we've ever had despite his brief tenure.

I don't, actually.
