    The section in question:

    Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

    No way Vance agrees to this. Sure, he’d be President, but MAGA outrage would strip him of power. Hell, if Trump dies in office, Vance is going to take the heat for Trump’s decisions. Imagine if Vance forced Trump out.

      Careful. Vance is younger, more charismatic, and smarter than Trump.
