All very interesting! I thought the most interesting part was the potential for a dead locked Senate in the nomination of a VP. Couple of random questions: Can the 25th be enacted if the Office of VP is vacant? Can an acting VP be appointed if there is a delay in confirming a new VP? Would the Speaker move up to POTUS only if both offices of VP and POTUS were vacant?

edit: we're in a funny spot right now where there are rumors of POTUS, VP and Speaker all ready to leave. Plus #3 in succession (Leahy) is ready to check out too.
