I just hope all this talk about Trump somehow "leaving office" doesn't happen - DAMMIT I WANT HIM TO REMAIN IN OFFICE UNTIL HE IS DECLARED THE WINNER OF THE ELECTION HE RIGHTFULLY WON. This I cannot be sure about.

Trump will hand off power to the military. He may or may not be president when this is all over, I'm leaning towards will be. But in the mean time, for optics, he needs to be as far away from this as possible.
From a constitutional perspective and having a clear line of authority .....doesn't there need to be an "acting" President at all times? i.e VP or Speaker of the house. ( which would make me sick)
I believe FEMA has full authority during an emergency, including suspension of the Constitution.
Who holds the football then or makes Military decisions?
I believe Pete Gaynor, the head of FEMA and as of last week, also the head of Homeland Security (which I believe directs the National Guard) will take the lead in such a scenario.
