#1 Do I smell a resignation, or am I just being overly optimistic ?

#3 Optimistic. There's too much golf left in him, and too much vacationing and shopping for her.

#4 Regarding Biden. Ford wasn't the Vice President and yet he was quickly maneuvered into the Presidency after Nixon's resignation.

#5 So Biden resigns (due to health reasons), & is replaced by Sen. Warren, confirmed by lame-duck Senate, and then Obama resigns. Then Warren can run as the incumbent in '16 and for re-election, for a total of 10 years as socialist dictator.

#6 Biden would have to pick Warren as Veep first. Otherwise the rules of succession still apply.

#8 VP Agnew resigned. Ford appointed to replace him. Then Nixon resigned & Ford became President. Ford then appointed Rockefeller as VP. Or at least that's how I remember it.

#12 Can Obama Reboot? well he does have a reset button somewhere. It didn't seem to work as expected but you know.

#13 Um, how would "President Biden" be an improvement?

He at least thinks he is nominally American. Can't say that for the rest of the Obama cabal.
