President Pelosi?

President Trump s warning to a conservative gathering that before this election is resolved the person who could next emerge as President is Nancy Pelosi, well, it s a startling point. It s not entirely idle, though. The Constitution, and legislation it grants the Congress the power to pass, both envision a situation where the Speaker could automatically become president at 12:01 p.m. o clock on January 20.

Neither Mr. Trump, as we understand him, nor we are saying such an event is likely. Just possible. Were it to come to pass, though, it would be completely to the degree that there is such a constitutional concept kosher. That s because of the 20th Amendment. It says that the terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, no ifs, ands, or buts.
