65 Here's what is known. By Constitution, a President's term ends at noon on Jan. 20. Biden need only recite the oath to take the power of the office. If he doesn't or can't, then Harris can. So something needs to happen before noon on Jan. 20 to change the process. So, 7.5 days to change the world. posted 3 years ago by WinsAnon 3 years ago by WinsAnon +65 / -0 http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/inaugurationconstit.html 22 comments share 22 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Harris can't unless Joe take the oath, as I understand it. If Joe can't, Trump wins by default and has 4 more years.
Yes, you are correct. Until inauguration is complete, Kamala Harris is not in the line of succession for President.
