A lot of things have begun happening very rapidly now that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) managed to kick Kevin McCarthy out of the House Speakership. McCarthy’s removal, which happened against all odds, has opened up a pathway that could potentially put Donald J. Trump back in the White House this year.
We can’t call this a conspiracy theory, since many of the elements are already in place. Maybe it’s a little bit of wishful thinking, but could you imagine having Trump back in the White House in a month or so, and then running for reelection as the incumbent in 2024?
Matt Gaetz didn’t say anything about this while his fight against McCarthy was happening, but now he has hinted that he actually had Donald Trump’s blessing to return McCarthy like a badly used rental car.
“I have spoken to President Trump over the last several days,” Gaetz said to reporters late Tuesday. “I would say that my conversations with the former president leave me with great confidence that I’m doing the right thing.”
So, that was big. Next comes the battle to replace Kevin McCarthy and fill the vacant Speaker’s chair.
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) has nominated President Trump to become the next Speaker of the House. You don’t have to be a Representative in the House in order to be Speaker, under the rules in the Constitution. Anyone can be Speaker as long as a majority of Representatives votes for them.
Last year after Republicans won the majority of the House back, this idea was floated but Trump rejected it. McCarthy became Speaker only after making major promises to the MAGA caucus in the House, after multiple votes. Trump didn’t like the idea last year, but now he’s been indicted four times. Maybe the idea is much more appealing to him now?
Trump said, the day after McCarthy was booted, that he’s open to the idea now! He told reporters on Wednesday, “All I can say is we’ll do whatever’s best for the country and for the Republican Party. A lot of people have asked me about it… My focus is totally on [the election]. If I can help them during the process, I would do it.”
If Donald Trump were Speaker, it would give him the opportunity to steer the Republican caucus to do some actual good for the American people, instead of just futzing around like they have been doing for the last nine months under McCarthy. House Republicans couldn’t just hold silly hearings into special prosecutor Jack Smith then. They’d have to follow through and defund his office under Trump’s leadership.
How does this put Donald Trump back in the White House this year?
First of all, Joe Biden is totally shot. He’s done. His decline is happening so rapidly that they’re giving him physical therapy to try to teach him to not fall down anymore. Juicing him full of barbiturates to control the dementia is no longer working. He can’t give a speech or make any public remarks without it turning into a total Schiff show. He could go at any time—slip on a banana peel, or whatever.
If that were to happen, it makes the vice president next in line for the White House. The problem with that is that Kamala Harris is an anchor baby and therefore ineligible to serve as president. You have to be a natural-born citizen for that, and she’s not. Her dad was a Haitian and her mom was an Indian, and neither one was a US citizen when they met at Berkeley and had Kamala.
As I’ve pointed out many times in the past, there is no law that authorizes America’s crazy anchor baby policy. Congress never passed a law legitimizing it. No president issued an executive order. The anchor baby policy under which the babies born to foreign nationals on US soil are somehow automatically US citizens comes from a footnote in a 1983 Supreme Court case. A liberal justice mused in that footnote—which has no power of law, by the way—that there’s no way to tell the difference between an illegal alien and a natural-born citizen.
That’s where the anchor baby policy comes from. It’s insane that this policy has continued for the past 40 years. And the 14th Amendment, which is the other argument that liberals claim authorizes the anchor baby policy, was about preventing Democrats from deporting the children of freed slaves back to Africa. It had nothing to do with children born to foreign nationals.
If Kamala Harris were about to ascend to the White House, and someone like, say, Judicial Watch (hint, hint) were to challenge her eligibility, it would go straight to the Supreme Court. Do you like the odds of a 6-3 conservative-majority court finally ending the anchor baby policy once and for all? I’ll take those odds!
So, if fate intervenes in the Joe Biden situation, and Kamala Harris gets bumped for being ineligible, guess who’s third in line for the presidency? That would be House Speaker Donald J. Trump.
A lot of dominoes would have to fall into place for that to happen. It seems highly unlikely. Then again, on Tuesday morning, most of us didn’t believe that Kevin McCarthy would be booted from the Speaker’s office. Miracles do happen.
This site remains the most optimistic about this idea. Interesting how it was shot down when speculated on sometime back, and viewed as impossible!
Stranger things have happened since the pResident was selected….
Yes, Yes, Yes…let’s get Trump back in the White House sooner than later…now!
He can play chess like no other…and I think of Harris in as President would be the worst thing anyone could imagine for this Country. She is not qualified to be a Waitress leet alone President! She is A perfect example of “It’s not what you know, but who you know, that gets you ahead!!!” Such a sad state of affairs indeed if she were to take over, but Biden isn’t any better. He is a puppet still taking orders from Obama.
God forbid that the Democrats steal another election. America needs better.
IF THIS COUNTRY WANTS TO PROGRESS IN THE FUTURE, WE BEST GET TRUMP AS PRESIDENT. THE DEMOCRATES ARE DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!!
DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS ARE AFRAID OF TRUMP. THE FEAR OF LOSING POWER AND KICKBACKS FROM LOBBISTS IS APPARENT. TRUMPCALLS IT LIKE IT IS. HE HAD PUT THE AVERAGE AMERICAN I A BETTER PLACE. THE BIDEN ADINISTRATION HAS DAMED NEAR SENT HE AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILY TO THE POOR HOUSE. NOW IS THE TIME FOR MAJOR CHANGES. WE NEED TRUMP ETHER YOU LIKE HIM OR NOT. HE GOT US TO BE ENERGY INDEPENDENT,CUT TAXES,BROUGHT JOBS BACK FROM OVERSEAS,TAMED CHINA,NORTH KOREA,AND RUSSIA. WERE WE BETTER OFF DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION OR NOW UNDER BIDENS. BEFORE YOU DECIDE CKECK YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
the Demonrats are destroying America fast.
It would be a miracle from God to put President Trump back in the White House this year but I believe God still makes miracles happen and I pray that this is one miracle God makes happen. I ask it in the name of the Son of Man Jesus. Only Jesus can make it happen. It’s a step in fulfilling 2 Chronicles 7:14. We give God all the praise for a miracle of putting Trump back in the White House this year. Thank you God.
AMEN
Love him or hate him, Dirty, unAmerican Leftist Democrats should have enough sense to recognize America’s Prosperity and Growth when they see it…(but don’t count on it !). Under Trump’s leadership America was on the Top of the Heap. Just look at what a Horrible Mess we’re in now…thanks to Biden’s blundering and unbelievable stupidity. Come on Leftist !! On the Border and Our Economy alone, you should have “Always” considered the safety and prosperity of your children. Both their Future and their Very Lives are in jeopardy with Biden’s Bad Economy and Leadership, plus, the Criminal Threat from the millions-and-millions of Criminal Illegals flooding into our country. Come on Democrats … Stop with your Ignorant, unAmerican, and outright Stupidity.
I UNDERSTAND IF HARRIS WAS NOT ABLE TO BE PRESIDENT AND TRUMP WERE TO BE IN OFFICE HE COULD NOT SERVE ANOTHER TERM AS PRESIDENT.
If Trump ASCENDED to the Presidency from Speaker of the House position ( ascending and not by RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENCY), then he is ELIGIBLE to RUN FOR REELECTION AS PRESIDENTAGAIN, such as 2024.
Likewise a VP, IF eligible to hold President position by criteria set forth, can ASCEND to the Presidency if President becomes incapacitated or dies. Also, a President who already RAN FOR and was elected to and served a second term, such as Obama, CAN RUN FOR VP position. If the President he serves under becomes incapacitated or dies, Obama could ASCEND to the Presidency to finish out the term. He CANNOT, however, run again for President as already had been elected to 2 terms in past and cannot RUN a THIRD TIME.
I don’t think the legal thinking goes along those lines. Trump has had one term as President — therefore cannot serve more than one more term. I think that Inauguration Day is “the day that counts.”
Actually, if Trump was Speaker and Biden and Harris impeached, he would become President — and could run again if he served less than half of the impeached President’ term. And as much as I dislike Harris, she _is_ a natural-born citizen. The Constitution says anyone born here is that.
wrong. The precedent is shown by history: the individual is President Grover Cleveland back in the 19th Century. Learn your history the easy way — or go back to school and learn it the hard way.
That would be true IF Trump filled over half(2years) of bidens term. At ths point in time,Trump is still able to be elected for a full term.
That is the understanding that i have of the law. A partial now would prevent Trump from serving another full term. Sounds like a Democrat plot to me.
I am not sure how that would play out, but I am sure everyone in WDC has looked into it. If Jordan gets in, a lot of things should happen, and Trump can go on and concentrate on his trials………which are all bunk……Prayers for his success and safety of him and his family. I am worried about our open border after the Israel problem today.
McCarthey may have had his eye on the potential of becoming president in the same way.
How could he NOT have entertained such a notion???
This also explains his avoidance of promised actions of which he avoided rather scrupulously to gain favor from all sides in the event things worked out that way.
Trump B424 !!
IS ANYONE GOING TO ADDRESS MY LAST COMMENT???
I am not sure your understanding is 100% correct.
From the 22nd Amendment: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once,” the amendment read.
ASCENDING to the Presidency is not being ELECTED to it, so Trump could ASCEND to the Presidency to finish out the dead or incapacitated President’s term and still legally RUN for Presidency in 2024 or whenever, because he was never elected to a second term. If Harris cannot meet the criteria for the type of citizenship to be President, which is stricter than ANY OTHER OFFICE IN US, then she should not be eligible to even ASCEND to the Presidency. But if that is the case, it was a major screw up to have her in VP spot unless ascension rule allows it while ELECTED RULE doesn’t.
Frankly, I’d rather Trump was declared President now and Biden/Harris thrown out fir election fraud showing Trump actually won. Then adjust the term years so his somehow gets full 4 year term stolen from him, or takes over last year of fraudulent Presidency of Biden, then is allowed to serve the next 3 years as President or a full 4 years tacked onto the one year served because fraud throws out Biden. Trump should not have to run again to get that 3 or 4 yr term added on, as he already won a 4 yr term and it was stolen.
That is a little confusing but sounds plausible ….
I did.
Lucy,see my comment and those around it.
All the legal crap can be worked out when and if that day comes but getting Trump back in the White House is a good thing for America and American people
That would be the ultimate mind blower for the demonrats! Trump as speaker, Biden and Harris removed, Trump as speaker ascends to the presidency, then wins another term! Their heads would explode! Would LOVE to see that! Hopefully, it will happen!
No, a partial term of LESS than 2 years would not make Trump ineligible to run for a second term. The election is just over a year away at this point. The constitution in part says “no person…(who has) acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once”. Best example is when JFK was assassinated in 1963. Johnson ascended to the presidency, then was elected in 1964 and was eligible to run again in 1968 but chose not to. Had he been re-elected, he would have served 9 years which is well in keeping with the 22nd amendment. The question now is, is VP Harris a natural born citizen or is she not? I have heard both possibilities..
I believe I have a solution for those who have committed treason, been a traitor to President Trump and aided and abetted the swamp. Those who have been corrupt in our government and judicial system. Like the old saying do the crime do the time, or make punishment fit the crime. But letting everyone out their know what I think would give those criminals a heads up on what is coming. Element of surprise, curiosity killed the cat. When President Trump is elected back in the Oval Office I will give him my advice after he is elected and before his first day back in office. Let’s see how deplorable you think I am or stupid Mrs Clinton.
